Maeve McGarrigle loves booze and she loves running a business, however she never thought she would be running a booze business. Managing her grandparents’ Irish pub becomes the logical thing to do after being furloughed from her dream job and her fiancé getting cold feet. But after journeying from Dublin to Tampa, Maeve discovers the pub is a hot mess that’s hotter than the Florida sun. Can Maeve salvage her family’s dream as she struggles with her own past? Or will love make everything go arseways?

These are the three Irish Pubs in Florida that inspired A Drink Between Friends. Ashley's Pub served Mexican Food in Gainesville. The Claddagh Cottage was next-door to a funeral home in Orlando. Culhane's Irish Pub is in Jacksonville and it's run by four Irish sisters. The food and the vibe were always amazing at all three pubs!
