The Shamrock on Madison Avenue.

Owned since 1995 by the Wilburn family, the Shamrock Tavern & Restaurant (11922 Madison Avenue) is a friendly tavern on Lakewood’s East End. The family has close ties to Lakewood: Co-owner Del Wilburn is a retired Lakewood police lieutenant and his partner & daughter Micki is a lifelong resident. The tavern annually sponsors a Susan G. Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer walker, raising money selling “shoes”, putting on a summertime garage sale, hosting celebrity bartender nights and other events. It also supports numerous other causes and events throughout the year. The Shamrock proprietors are also supportive of Lakewood Adult Recreation programs, sponsoring a dozen or more men’s and women’s teams each summer and fall. 

The Shamrock features the longest bar in Lakewood, a spacious rear dining room with kids’ play area (and a fireplace yet!), an outdoor patio with horseshoes and shuffleboard court, music and games. The dining room is also frequently used for birthday and retirement parties, showers and wedding receptions. The next big event?  St. Patrick’s Day, of course. On this day Shamrock traditionally serves 1,000 lbs. of corned beef sandwiches and dinners.  They’ll be selling $1 and $5 shamrocks for the Muscular Dystrophy Association too!
