After social media vote, new Irish pub opens in the old Crogan's in Walnut Creek
Briefly

Jeff Dudum took over the building that used to be Crogan's and solicited local feedback on what to create, resulting in 7,000 responses, with a strong desire for a place to watch sports and enjoy live music. This led him to research music and sports venues in Europe, concluding that establishing an Irish pub would resonate well with the community.
Gibson's opened on New Year's Eve with dueling pianos, attracting over 300 attendees and garnering fantastic feedback about the atmosphere, which resembles a 1950s-1960s pub in Ireland. The menu includes traditional Irish fare such as bangers and mash and Guinness-glazed ribs, appealing to both locals and newcomers.
Entertainment includes solo piano performances on weekdays and dueling pianos on weekends, enhancing the community pub experience that locals were keen to have. Admission is $10 after 9 p.m., making it an accessible entertainment option for various patrons, and the venue captures a nostalgic yet vibrant spirit.
