O'Flaherty's will become Just Sports Bar & Grill," Young said, noting that the new ownership "has serious ties to all the major sports team in Philadelphia."

"I've been assured that they intend to keep me and the rest of the staff and want to continue serving craft beers," he stressed.

"Some people are a bit nervous, given the new name, but I've been told many times no Irish pub anywhere pours the kind of beer line-up we do, so I see no reason why we can't continue the same approach in a sports pub. I'm in this business to support local brewers and their beers and that's what I'll continue to do."

O'Flaherty's regularly pours beers from Victory, Yards, Heavyweight, Dogfish Head, Flying Fish and Sly Fox, as well other local and national micros, selected imports and the big national brands. There are three dedicated craft taps: Victory HopDevil, Victory Golden Monkey and Paulaner Hefe Weizen, while ten other craft taps rotate.
