Founded in January 1978 by a dedicated group of East Side Irish enthusiasts, the Irish American Club East Side has become a beloved institution in Euclid, Ohio, serving as a home away from home for those celebrating Irish culture and community. What began as an informal gathering before a Super Bowl game evolved into a chartered organization that has spent nearly five decades strengthening family bonds and preserving Irish traditions. The Club's mission centers on creating a family-oriented environment where members of all ages can participate in meaningful social, cultural, educational, and athletic activities that honor their heritage. From its humble beginnings at Smith's Restaurant to its current home in the renovated Furniture Land Building, the organization has maintained its core values of warmth, hospitality, and genuine community connection. With nearly 50 years of continuous operation, the Irish American Club East Side has become known for its inclusive approach to celebrating Irish pride, welcoming both longtime members and newcomers to experience authentic Irish camaraderie. The Club's volunteer-driven leadership, including its Executive Board of dedicated officers and members at large, reflects the grassroots spirit that has sustained the organization since its inception. Today, the Club continues to thrive as a vibrant gathering place where members enjoy monthly events, live entertainment, cultural programs, and the fellowship that defines Irish tradition, all while building lasting memories within the Euclid community.
