What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured The Irish Rover in the episode "Beef, Lamb and Pig," which aired 2017-02-17, spotlighting the pub's traditional Irish fare. The Irish Rover is an Irish pub in Louisville, Kentucky, located at 2319 Frankfort Ave. A website check on 2026-09-08 found theirishroverky.com online with a last-modified date of 2026-08-20, an active online-ordering link, and full menu, special-events, and location pages. The site also referenced an already sold-out fall 2027 trip advertised under its special events section, indicating the business was actively planning and promoting events well into 2027. Google Places listed the pub as operational at the same Frankfort Avenue address featured on the show, and no evidence of a closure, rename, or relocation was found during this check, consistent with the Irish Rover continuing to operate under its original name at its original location.
