O’Gannigans, a family-owned and operated Irish pub-style restaurant located at 98 Solomons Island Road South, will permanently close after April 30, 2026.
The restaurant has long been a staple in the community, offering a family-friendly atmosphere with a mix of American-style food and traditional Irish dishes. Popular menu items have included corned beef and cabbage, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and Reuben sandwiches, along with a full selection of beer, cocktails, and mocktails.
Beyond the food, O’Gannigans has served as a local gathering spot, regularly hosting live music, weekly events, and specials that brought in patrons from across Southern Maryland.
Known for its casual environment and welcoming feel, the restaurant attracted families, groups, and regular customers looking for both dining and entertainment in one location.
The reason for the closure has not been publicly announced. The owners have experienced issues with their social media platforms, limiting their ability to widely share the news and promote final events ahead of closing.
Community members are encouraged to visit and support the business in its final weeks.
The closure marks the loss of another independently owned restaurant in the region.
