Sean Patrick McMullan, 51, and Conn Brendan McMullan, 56, made the move from Co Antrim to New Jersey in their late teens and early 20s
Two Co Antrim brothers, one of whom came to the US as a teen with just "a couple of pounds in his pocket", have shared how they rose through the ranks of a century-long establishment to make it the thriving hotspot it is today.
"I came to the US on a 90-day visa to feel out a bit of America and see what it was all about but I was fully prepared to leave after the 90 days," Sean told IrishStar.com. The building originally opened in 1885 as the Germantown Hotel and was once a place where local fishers could enjoy themselves after a long day on the water.
"The first summer was quite tough because folks didn't know where we were going with the pub. It had gone between an American and Irish style for years so there was an identity factor there to overcome. Celtic FC supporters near and far also recognize it as an ideal joint to watch matches, particularly as Sean and Conn are first cousins with newly-appointed Hoops manager Brendan Rodgers.
"It's ideal because instead of being here 24 hours a day, I can come in at night along with my sister-in-law and my brother can come in the morning. People my age are thinking about retiring but I'm just heading into this!"
