FAIRFIELD, NJ - According to Diane and Lew Lockward, owners of The Fieldhouse Pub located at 31 Passaic Avenue in Fairfield, their establishment was sold yesterday to the owners of Thatcher McGhee's which own Irish pub restaurants in both Denville and Pompton Lakes. The new owners, whose first names are Brendan and Aidan, are originally from Galway, Ireland and they are planning to make major renovations starting immediately; they will be doubling the size of the restaurant and add a thatched roof. The new restaurant is expected to be open this winter by late February or early March just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
"The papers are all signed, sealed, and delivered, along with the keys,"
the Lockwards commented.
"The new owners are terrific guys and very hands-on.
They plan to begin renovations immediately;
it will be a complete makeover and they will do a great job.
Their other locations are both beautiful, unique restaurants.
We can't wait to try the new place."

Thatcher McGhee's first opened in Pompton Lakes in 2006 and then in Denville in 2011. The two locations have similar menus which offer traditional Irish meals and American and Italian salads, sandwiches, entrees, dessert and pizza. They often have live-entertainment and serve brunch on Sundays at 10am.
