No Show This Sunday — World Cup Takes Over!

Hey folks — just a heads-up that our regularly scheduled show at The Cottage this Sunday, July 5th, has been preempted. The Cottage will be showing the World Cup Round of 16 matches that evening instead.

Sunday’s World Cup slate includes:

  • Spain/Austria vs. Croatia/Portugal — AT&T Stadium, Arlington — 2:00 PM CT
  • Brazil vs. TBD — MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford — 3:00 PM CT
  • TBD vs. TBD — Estadio Azteca, Mexico City — 7:00 PM CT

With matches running right through our usual 5–8 PM slot, The Cottage will be all football all day. Sláinte to the beautiful game! ⚽🍻

We’ll be back at The Cottage for our next scheduled show on July 19th. See you then!

Fajita Fund-Raiser Sunday

Hey friends! Please consider coming out to The Cottage Irish Pub this Sunday, June 28 for a fajita fundraiser for Daniela Rodriguez. Daniela is the wife of Taco, one of our favorite barkeeps at The Cottage. She’s facing a long regimen of cancer treatment, and this is one way her community is supporting her.

We won’t be playing, but there will be a DJ outside, and possibly live music inside a bit later. The fajitas start flying at 3:00pm!

Our April Schedule

Howdy, friends! Just a note that, in the wake of our (very) busy March, we’re going to be taking it easy during April. The only chance you’ll have to see us perform will be on the 19th, and that will be only Blair. Come give him some love at The Cottage Irish Pub, 5:00-8:00pm. We’ll be back to our usual routine in May. See you then!

The Happy out on KSAT TV

Among all of the other great things we’ve got going this St. Patrick’s week, we were honored to appear on a “Foodie Faceoff” segment recently that featured our pub home, The Cottage, and Gina, one of its owners. It’s a great segment, and we got to be musical background, on-screen band, and Very Hungry Patrons. See the whole segment right here!

St. Patrick’s Month is Upon Us!

Hello friends! March is here, and The Happy Out has a ton of plans to share with you. We’ll be returning to The Mammen Family Library again this year, as well as playing on the Riverwalk at the Arneson River Theater. The Cottage is doing their biggest St. Patrick’s celebration yet: Paddy Fest! We’ll be playing four different days for that epic event. And finally, we’ll be back at the San Antonio Highland games at the end of the month. See our Event Calendar for all of the details!

Not enough music for you? Sean will be playing at The Cottage Friday, March 6, from 6:00-9:00pm with his old friend Alex Nepomuceno. And Blair will be playing solo at Copper Rose Wine on Monday, May 9, from 7:00-9:00pm. Both will be a great time, so come and join us!

Klaus Out This Weekend

Howdy friends! Klaus will be out of pocket this weekend, so Blair & Sean will be bringing the craic as a duo. (Don’t worry, Klaus is only fired temporarily — he’ll be back soon!)

Blair Out Sick Today

Greetings friends! Unfortunately, Blair has cruelly been struck down by the malign hand of what medical professionals refer to as “feeling yucky”. For today’s show, Klaus and Sean will be holding down the fort (and playing whatever they can get away with).
