Aaron Lane plays Shamrock Irons Irish Pub on Friday, November 13 at 10:30 PM. Save the date and confirm the organizer's current event details.

Shamrock Irons is an Irish pub on College Street in downtown Asheville, with Guinness, Irish whiskey, handcrafted cocktails and more than 32 beers on a rotating draft list. The kitchen serves Irish comfort food, including fish and chips made with North Atlantic cod and hand-cut fries, plus wings and loaded fries. Live music runs through the week, with a Thursday Jazz Showcase and Jam, Sunday Sips and Strings, and local and regional bands on Friday and Saturday nights.

Asheville locals call it a typical pub in the best way, with crisp fish and chips and friendly service, and the music nights make it feel like a gathering.
