"The United Irish Cultural Center (Irish Center) is a California nonprofit corporation organized to provide our members with beautiful dining and banquet facilities for social, recreational, athletic and cultural activities. Just three short blocks from the magnificent Golden Gate Recreational Area at Ocean Beach, the Irish Center celebrates over 30 years of service to the Irish and Irish-American community in San Francisco. The facility includes restaurant, bar and lounge, a comprehensive library, several meeting rooms and catering kitchens. We host many functions at the Saint Patrick Ballroom and the St. Francis Room. Nearby attractions include the San Francisco Zoo, Harding Park Public Golf Course, Lake Merced Recreational Facility, and Golden Gate Park."

"The Irish Center began as a simple idea around the kitchen table and has become the center of Irish activity on America's West Coast. Our founders sought to honor the grand tradition of Irish immigrants in San Francisco with a suitable location to gather and continue building on the proud community spirit established by our for bearers. Our founders include the many talented volunteers who drafted blueprints, donated labor and remain an active core group that makes this Center a strong and vibrant hub. Our current membership bridges the generations and thrives with a healthy mix of newer immigrants and the children and grandchildren of our charter members."
