THE FIRKIN CONCEPT

The Firkin Group of Pubs is the largest & most dominant chain of traditional English pubs in North America. Firkin thirsty? It's the perfect place to enjoy a pint or two with great food and great friends. Firkin Hungry? Our welcoming atmosphere and sparkling personality mixed with your local flavor creates a neighbourhood hangout everyone can agree on.

DEVELOPMENT

We currently have 48 Firkin Pubs open throughout North America, and more than 180 more pubs in development. Our Firkin's are everywhere from business and power centers to urban areas and university districts.

Every pub is a little different. One's just right for you.

Modeled after a traditional English pub, each Firkin is unique to its neighborhood, and carries a name of a familiar mascot paired with the Firkin, such as 'The Firkin & Fox', or the 'Firkin & Hound'.

The Firkin brand is cheeky and irreverent and appeals to a broad base of consumers! For over 20 years, Firkin Pub's founders, franchisees, and followers have been creating the authentic English Pub Experience.
