McHenry’s Pub Closes in Branford; New Restaurant Taking Over

BRANFORD, CT - An Irish pub located next to one of Branford’s best known restaurants, Lenny’s Indian Head Inn, is going closing its doors after four years in business.

E.McHenry’s last day is tonight - February 18th. The location has been site of many restaurants over the years, including Pasta Cosi, which is now located on Main Street in Branford.

While E.McHenry’s is leaving - apparently a new, unnamed restaurant owner is taking over the site - at least according to a message on E.McHenry’s Facebook page, which says the following:

“Hey Everyone, I have some very exciting news!

“Four years ago, I came to Branford and opened up E.McHenry’s, this was a dream I’ve had for many years. Lucky for me, this cozy little shoreline town that I knew nothing about turned out to be a beautiful place to live with a very loving community. Now, as I look forward to what is next for me, I am very happy to announce that a new owner is taking the reigns of E.McHenry’s! Our last day will be Sunday February 18th.

“I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for all the support and the memories you’ve given me. I have made so many friends and met so many wonderful people that I plan to stay here, plant some roots and eventually raise a family.

“We are going to spend our final week at E.McHenry’s celebrating and on our last day we will have complimentary food and live music from Steamroller!

As for the future of our location at 3 Linden Avenue… stay tuned for another exciting announcement in the coming weeks!”
