Griffins of Kinsale Raises $11,170

Earlier this month, Patch reported Griffins of Kinsale to apply finishing touches to the soon-to-be-open Mission Street pub. 

And although some , owner Joseph Griffin has definitely got some support.

With three days left to go, Griffin's Kickstarter campaign has received 88 backers—with three donating $500 or more—for a total of $11,170. 

But his goal is $15,000. (The project will only be funded if at least $15,000 is pledged by 2:59 a.m. EDT Saturday.) 

Griffin says the money will support:

• Installation of a sound system (for live performances)
• Installation of gorgeous antique chandeliers from the Ritz Carlton
• Final touches on the crown molding
• Bar equipment, registers, barware, dinnerware and utensils

The pub is slated to officially open May 5 in time for the .
