Breffny’s A private function room located above O’Rourke’s Bar & Grill

Posted

An early spring rain has drenched the village, fueling the Pawtuxet River with volumes of fresh, cascading water. It is clear that the long-awaited springtime, with its April showers and May flowers, is well underway. But a wet New England day is no deterrent for a group of partygoers who have gathered to celebrate the milestone birthday of a friend at Breffny’s, a private function room on the second floor of Pawtuxet Village’s popular O’Rourke’s Bar & Grill.

The setting of Breffny’s is ideal for this close-knit group of colleagues ~ it is cozy, intimate and casual. The room can accommodate up to sixty people who can congregate at the bar or around any one of several high tops, but there are also smaller groupings where quieter conversations can be held. In the spring, trees are beginning to blossom outside the window of this retreat and light streams in through the wall of windows that separate guests from the waters of Pawtuxet Cove below. Soft lights add to the ambience at night while the lights of the nearby harbor and local houses flicker outside. It is a magical scene by day and by night.

Tonight, the bar’s comfortable stools are crowded with revelers who are raising their glasses to toast a birthday but tomorrow, a new scene will unfold here at Breffny’s. In the light of day, a shower is being hosted by a soon-to-be grandmother who has planned a surprise baby shower for her daughter. Packages are being hustled upstairs and balloons are being blown up to convert this bright and sunny room into the perfect space to celebrate a new life.

Breffny’s is just about the perfect place for most ANY occasion. Classic comfort food from the adjoining restaurant downstairs is served buffet-style, but party planners can arrange for passed appetizers as well. The menu at Breffny’s is long and varied, ranging from colorful platters of cheeses, fruits and vegetables to finger-licking-good chicken wings and fried mozzarella sticks. Other enticing appetizers include mini-Beef Wellingtons, antipasto skewers, pork-filled pot stickers, clam cakes and assorted puff pastries (and this is just to get started!)

The family-style meal options are equally as enticing. Imagine chafing dishes filled with Chicken Marsala, Eggplant Parmesan, Meatballs & Pasta, Sausage & Peppers, Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo ~ and more! As with ALL the food that is served at O’Rourke’s, this food meets the high standards of its chefs and of O’Rourke’s longtime owner Laurie O’Rourke.

Laurie is also your contact person for Breffny’s. She works very closely with all her customers to make each event is personal and tailored to their exact needs. Her mission is to make your function unforgettable and uniquely yours.

Call Laurie at 401-499-7061 or O’Rourke’s at 401-228-7444 to schedule your next private function at Breffny’s. It is located upstairs from O’Rourke’s at 23 Peck Lane in Cranston’s historic Pawtuxet Village. Find them at www.orourkesbarandgrill.com.
