Founders Irish Pub

Founders Irish Pub is a bar and grill known for its classic cheeseburger, served alongside a long list of drinks. The pub also hosts private parties, banquets and catering in a space with plenty of character, suited to birthdays, weddings, retirement parties and corporate meetings.

Happy hour runs every weekday afternoon, and Friday afternoons bring discounted domestic bottles and wells with free homemade chips and salsa. The large patio connects directly to the Chichaqua Valley Trail, so bikers and walkers can stop in, and live bands play on warm summer days. Thursday evenings include a bucket-and-burger special for dine-in guests, and food can be ordered ahead online. The pub is on 1st Street Southeast in Bondurant.
