McNamara’s was established in Feb 2010 by Sean McNamara. After years of playing at other Nashville pubs and restaurants, he decided to open his own pub and restaurant dedicated to providing locals and visitors with authentic Irish fare, drinks, music, and great service at an affordable price.
Founders Sean and Paula McNamara, Kirk Orndorff, and Francis "Majic" Gyelbi, have come together to combine over forty years of expertise and knowledge in opening McNamara's. Our primary goal is to provide a true experience that fits most Americans idea of what an Irish pub should be like; but is also so genuine that a person living in, or visiting America, can walk inside and feel like they are back home in Ireland. From live music, to a menu comprised of classic "Pub" fare, to a decor featuring historical photographs, Gaelic sports memorabilia, Irish music albums and instruments, and tin "Pub" signs. McNamara's is dedicated to providing our patrons with the hospitality, service, and ambiance found throughout Ireland.
Sean "Turk" & Paula McNamara, Owner's
Sean Patrick McNamara is the great-great grandson of John McNamara, an Irish Immigrant who came to America from the county Kildare in 1848. Sean moved to here in 1995 and began his career in the restaurant business working as a server at Mulligan’s Pub. As a server, bartender, and eventually singer, Sean fell in love with the Irish pub culture. For the past fifteen years, Sean has made his living performing Irish music in every Irish pub in Nashville as well as various music festivals through out the mid south. It is this experience as well as his time in Ireland with his wife Paula that has given Sean the vision and the passion to create McNamara’s.
Paula McNamara was born and raised just outside of Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland. She began working in restaurants at the age of 18, and fell in love with the hospitality trade. After spending time living in Australia, Paula traveled back to Ireland and in 1996, earned her degree in Hotel, Travel and Tourism management from Newry College. In 1997 Paula moved here when she was offered a job by the Opryland hotel, where she worked for over a year. Paula’s experience and gift for true authentic Irish hospitality is a major reason why people feel like they are back in Ireland as soon as they walk through the door of McNamara’s.
Kirk Orndorff, Co-Owner & General Manager
Kirk Orndorff is a native of Logan County Kentucky. Born into a farming family he learned the value of a hard days work early in life. While receiving his degree from the University of Kentucky, Kirk took a job as a server in a local restaurant and never looked back. After graduating with a Bachelors in Hospitality Management in 2000, he promptly took his first job as a restaurant manager. Most notable is an eight year tenure with Ted’s Montana Grill. While with the company he worked in several U.S. cities including Nashville, Columbus, Lexington, Chicago, Atlanta, Birmingham, and Bozeman Montana. Working in multiple and diverse regions has given Kirk great insight into what creates hospitality that compels customers to return again and again.
Francis "Magic" Gyebi, Head Chef
Francis “Magic” Gyebi, was born in Ghana west – Africa. He moved to America in the 1980’s and settled in Nashville. Magic entered into the restaurant business working at the “West End” location of The Cooker, at the time, the busiest restaurant in the state of Tennessee. When the Cooker closed nine years later, Magic moved onto the Texana grill and eventually to Ted’s Montana Grill where he was the Kitchen Manager for eight years. He believes in family and hard work. Magic loves to cook and is proud to work in what he believes is the best restaurant in Nashville.

Nosey Flynn is the preeminent Nashville-based Irish music group. With a repertoire of songs dating from the 13th century to the present, there isn’t a style of Celtic music Nosey Flynn cannot play. Featuring the pure tenor voice of Sean McNamara, multi-instrumental virtuosity of Josh Culley, and the the prolific and gifted David Coe on fiddle and mandolin, Nosey Flynn creates a sound that is uniquely their own yet strikes a familiar chord to anyone who knows Irish music. Their arrangements have tight vocal harmonies with instrumental countermelodies rarely found in today’s music scene.
Incorporating an entertaining blend of banter and audience participation with an authentic historical understanding of Ireland, Nosey Flynn believes firmly in letting the audience set the course for the evening while never losing sight of the integrity of the music.
