The fun will begin around 9 PM at JK O’Donnell’s. JK’s has a relaxed atmosphere, some incredible beers, and has quality Irish and pub food. JK’s does typically close at midnight so the party may mosey elsewhere around closing time.

JK’s is also just around the corner from the Grand Wayne Center/Hilton. So it’s just a short walk away.
