The QMPH won with 27 votes, which was 62 percent of the total votes. The Irish pub's win is not too surprising. Brodie's Pub came in second place with 13 percent of the votes. Others said they would celebrate by attending mass at Assumption Church and only one voter noted that they would be attending the New York City St. Patrick's Day parade.
The Quiet Man Public House has a truly authentic feel since it's owners and several employees are friends and family who were bron and raised in County Mayo, Ireland.
Owner Chuck McGreal moved to Peekskill 11 years ago and he and his brother Joseph designed their bar to represents the pubs they grew up with back home. The recipes are straight from their mothers' recipes. She spent time here before opening day making sure their current chef knew had to prepare her traditional Irish fare.
On top of that, McGreal takes his Guinness very seriously. He has a whole system set up just for the Guinness tap in order to ensure it is poured at the correct temperature and handled properly.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
