After her fiancé got cold feet and she was furloughed from her financial consulting job, Maeve McGarrigle suddenly has time on her hands. Still shaken by the heartbreaking loss of her grandmother, Maeve devotes her free time to fulfilling her gran's dream: running an Irish Pub on Clearwater Beach. But her grandparents’ pub is a hot mess that’s hotter than the Florida sun. There’s Mexican food on the menu, bizarre customers, and a feud with the funeral directors next-door. Can Maeve save the pub as she struggles with her own painful past? Or could a forbidden flirtation 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!
