THE HARP CASK & KLIN

3126 12th Street NE 

Ruairi Deburca, Jacob Schoonover, and Ashley Lee have teamed up to open The Harp Cask and Kiln, a modern Irish pub, in Brookland. Located in the former home of Brookland’s Finest, The Harp builds on the legacy of the popular neighborhood gathering place while introducing a new concept focused on quality food and well-made drinks with Irish influences, and welcoming hospitality. Deburca oversees operations, with Schoonover leading the beverage program and Lee heading the kitchen. The menu blends traditional Irish comfort with modern influences, featuring dishes such as Shepherd’s Pie Croquettes, Fish & Chips, and Ox Tongue Pie. The bar program highlights Guinness on tap, an extensive Irish whiskey list, and a cocktail menu that combines classic technique with house-made ingredients. Many of the drinks feature names in Irish, more commonly known as Gaelic, with English translations in parentheses
