Paddy Barry Celebrating 90 Years of Life and Style
A Milestone Birthday for the Heart of the Irish Boutique
This past weekend, family, friends, and devoted customers gathered to celebrate a milestone like no other: the 90th birthday of Paddy Barry, the beloved founder and owner of the Irish Boutique and Paddy’s on the Square. Known for his remarkable spirit, impeccable taste, and deep commitment to his Irish heritage, Paddy has been at the helm of the boutique for decades, creating a haven for those seeking a touch of Ireland through handcrafted food, goods, fashion, and unique treasures. He shared stories of growing up in Ireland as an electrician, teaching in Beliz, and his journey when arriving in America.
The celebration was filled with warmth, laughter and shared memories as guests reminisced about how Paddy had touched their lives. Traditional Irish dancers will perform, which represents the rich history and charm that has always defined the boutique.
His impact extends far beyond the boutique walls, with customers remembering the kindness, wisdom, and style guidance they received, always leaving his store with something more than just a purchase.
Now at 90, Paddy remains an inspiration, a true example of passion, resilience, and dedication to family and community. Much like its founder, the boutique continues to be a space where people feel welcomed, celebrated, and connected. We celebrated a remarkable life, a cherished boutique, and the man who made it all possible—Happy 90th birthday, Paddy Barry!
