Does anyone remember the name of the Irish Pub that used to be right at the junction of Rte 10 and Rte 53 back in the 90's? I used to go there a lot and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the place.

I can't pay you for your help, but on your deathbed you will receive total consciousness...so you'll have that going for you.

Wasn't that Harper's?

Used to go there years ago - early 90s - when I worked up the road in Morris Plains

I'm drawing a blank. I'm going to "phone a friend" and get back to you.

That's it!!
I used to be the DJ at CocoLoco in the Parsippany Hilton and we went there after work quite a bit. Our whole point in visiting there was to kill brain cells, so I guess it's not surprising that I lost the ability to remember the name of the place.

Seriously, thank you!!!

Yes, Harper's Pub. My friend concurs.

Holy crap CocoLoco! I met my ex husband there back in the 90's. I guess you could say I should have stayed home that night.

Anyway, it was a totally great place to dance and the fact that they had pool tables was awesome. I believe I still have an old t-shirt with the logo on it that I used for painting etc. I think it's a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse how.

Actually it's two restaurants, Tabor Road Tavern and Grotto. Both are upscale places owned by Harvest Restaurant Group.

LOL I meant CocoLoco's is Ruth's Chris not Harper's. You are correct above regarding the old Harper's location.

Sorry, you're right...I read the post too quickly.

I remember the first week that Hilton opened; worked very close to there and went to check out the Happy Hour.

I was the DJ there for almost the entire time the place was open, and I still have a box of those t-shirts in my basement. "Take me drunk, I'm home". I was pretty sad when the place shut down, but the truth was that it had pretty much run its course. In 1994-95 though, it was a fun place to work.

I met my wife there too. I wonder how many marriages came out of that little club?

Well since you are still married to her, guess it worked out better for you than me. No worries though, my second husband is 100 times better than he was.

Used to love going there to drink and dance and then to the Brookside Diner on Route 10 afterward.
