Worn-down Walnut Creek edifice has been revamped into an Irish pub featuring dual pianos and enticing cuisine.
Walnut Creek, California - For over seven years, the structure that once housed Crogans remained empty and slightly rundown in downtown Walnut Creek. However, after several months of renovation, the building has been transformed into Gibson's Irish Pub, a new dining and entertainment venue that opened on January 14, 2025, at 1387 Locust Street.
Gibson's Irish Pub offers a lively destination for residents and tourists alike, providing an enticing mix of modern Irish-inspired dishes, specialty cocktails, and engaging live performances. The establishment's diverse menu caters to various tastes, featuring options such as crispy Fried Chicken Sliders, Half Rack Glazed Baby Back Ribs, and a Spicy Grilled Jumbo Shrimp Salad. Traditional pub snacks like Truffle Fries and Deviled Eggs are also available.
The drink selection includes draft beers like Guinness and Smithwick's Red Ale, alongside a curated wine list and unique cocktails such as the Buck & Doe Mule and Purple Heather.
One of the standout features of Gibson's Irish Pub is its extensive entertainment lineup. West Coast Dueling Pianos take center stage on Fridays and Saturdays, while local piano soloists and performers contribute to the lively atmosphere during other nights.
Gibson's Irish Pub is open daily, serving brunch on weekends and welcoming guests into the evening hours for drinks, dinner, and live music. The venue serves as a vibrant community space, providing an excellent platform for residents and visitors to gather and enjoy food, music, and camaraderie.
