About de Vere's Irish Pub

Located at 1521 L Street in downtown Sacramento, California's Capitol, we built our pub in the historic Firestone Building on the corner of 16th and L Streets, right in the heart of the city's business district. Just steps away from the State Capitol, the Sacramento Convention Center, Memorial Auditorium and numerous hotels, we offer a friendly refuge from the daily grind. We are an Irish family from Dublin who immigrated in the hopes of finding opportunity and education. Since we arrived in Boston some 28 years ago, we have lived all over the United States. After moving around a bit, we decided to make our home away from home in Sacramento, where we have lived since 1984. Sacramento has been so good to our family that we felt we wanted to give something back to this great city. Over the last four years we have worked tirelessly to create de Vere's Irish Pub. We went back to Ireland where we worked with family to design and build a pub to bring to America. We have filled the pub with our family's paintings, pictures and Irish antiques so you can feel the Irish heart beating in every nook and cranny.
