The Shannon Rose, New Jersey’s most authentic Irish Pub, held its grand opening on Monday, Jan. 16 in Ramsey. Among the pub’s first guests was Shannon Rose Colucci, age 9, of Mahwah, who dined with her family and was very excited to eat at a restaurant bearing her name. In actuality, the pub is named after Shannon Doherty Portell, who grew up in Ridgewood and is the daughter of owner Ed Doherty of Doherty Enterprises, Inc, headquartered in Allendale. Not only is ‘Rose’ a traditional name amongst pubs in Ireland, it’s also the last name of Doherty’s partner and owner of The Rose Group, Harry Rose. Young Shannon Rose enjoyed an evening of good food and live entertainment along with her family. The Shannon Rose in Ramsey, like its counterparts in Clifton and Woodbridge, is open for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week.
