Weâre Open: Owner of The Curragh Irish Pub grateful for community support and last updated 2021-03-16 09:07:39-04 HOLLAND, Mich. â Sophia Leongas credits support from customers and the City of Holland for the survival of her restaurant, The Curragh Irish Pub. âWe're super grateful that we have this awesome patio and the extension of it into the parking spaces,â Leongas says. âThat really is what is the key for us.â She notes the city allowed additional seating for Curragh customers in parking spaces on 8th Street. And the people came. âWe have people sitting outside with 30-degree weather,â she says with amazement. Customers can wrap up in special Curragh blankets while sitting next to heaters. Friends pitched in to build a fence for atmosphere. âOther friends actually sewed cushions for us ... so when you're sitting on the metal patio chair ... your tushie stays warm.â
