What's a Hooley?
Hooley is Irish slang for a lively party or celebration, usually a home kitchen party.
Hooley Pub & Kitchen, formerly Hooley House Sports Pub & Grille, was founded in 2008 by John Reece and Ward Lawson, two thirty-year veterans in the food service industry with a passion for great tasty food and legendary service. Together, with the support of their families, they created a family friendly, party-like Irish-American sports bar. Supported by a pool of investors comprised of family and friends, they have expanded their privately owned, unique concept to five locations throughout the northeast Ohio area.
Hooley House Sports Pub & Grille has evolved over the years
to meet the changing needs of our guests and the experiences they search for.
With that in mind, we've built a better brand.
Hooley House Sports Pub & Grille is now
The Hooley Pub & Kitchen.
Enjoy your time at The Hooley!

Together, we culture respect.
Respect for each other,
respect for our business and its success,
respect for our guests,
respect for our communities.
