Breffny’s A private function room located above O’Rourke’s Bar & Grill

Posted

A chilly, brisk wind has kicked up in the village and it is clear that winter has no plans of going anywhere, anytime soon. But a cold New England night is no deterrent for a group of co-workers who have gathered for their annual office party at Breffny’s, a private function room on the second floor of Pawtuxet Village’s popular O’Rourke’s Bar & Grill.

The setting of Breffny’s is ideal for this close-knit group of colleagues ~ it is cozy, intimate and casual. The room can accommodate up to sixty people who can congregate at the bar or around any one of several high tops, but there are also smaller groupings where quieter conversations can be held. In the winter, a fire burns in the fireplace, casting a warmth around the room that makes the guests here feel as though they are in their own homes. Soft lights add to the ambience while the waters of Pawtuxet Cove reflect the night-time glitter of the nearby harbor and homes.

Tonight, the bar’s comfortable stools are crowded with revelers who are raising their glasses to toast the new year but tomorrow, a new scene will unfold here at Breffny’s. In the light of day, a shower is being hosted by a soon-to-be grandmother who has planned a surprise baby shower for her daughter. Packages are being hustled upstairs and balloons are being blown up to convert this bright and sunny room into the perfect space to celebrate a new life. Sun streams through the windows that give a clear view of the cove. It is cheerful and warm in Breffny’s, creating the perfect backdrop for this happy occasion.

Breffny’s is just about the perfect place for most ANY occasion. Classic comfort food from the adjoining restaurant downstairs is served buffet-style, but party planners can arrange for passed appetizers as well. The menu at Breffny’s is long and varied, ranging from colorful platters of cheeses, fruits and vegetables to finger-licking-good chicken wings and fried mozzarella sticks. Other enticing appetizers include mini-Beef Wellingtons, antipasto skewers, pork-filled pot stickers, clam cakes and assorted puff pastries (and this is just to get started!)

The family-style meal options are equally as enticing. Imagine hot chafing dishes filled with Chicken Marsala, Eggplant Parmesan, Meatballs & Pasta, Sausage & Peppers, Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo ~ and more! As with ALL the food that is served at O’Rourke’s, this food meets the high standards of its chefs and of O’Rourke’s longtime owner Laurie O’Rourke.

Laurie is also your contact person for Breffny’s. She works very closely with all her customers to make each event is personal and tailored to their exact needs. Her mission is to make your function unforgettable and uniquely yours.

Call Laurie at 401-499-7061 or O’Rourke’s at 401-228-7444 to schedule your next private function at Breffny’s. It is located upstairs from O’Rourke’s at 23 Peck Lane in Cranston’s historic Pawtuxet Village. Find them at www.orourkesbarandgrill.com.
