What is the significance of the “31”? Glad you asked. Yes, 31 was the jersey number of the founder, Jay Mize, when he played football at University of South Florida. Given sports is such a big part of our concept, it was fitting to have something that represented sports in their name. But on a much deeper level, when putting the brand together in 2009, Jay learned that St. Patrick used the shamrock (a three-leafed clover) as a symbol to depict the Trinity, or the “3” parts to the “1” God known as The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Inspired, and wanting to pay tribute to the legacy of the one and only Saint Patrick, Jay knew that Irish 31 was the perfect name for their pub, and if we were lucky, the “31” would give our brand a little extra dose of good luck and blessing along the way.
