About the Publican
For 30 years, Frank worked as a cotton gin manager in Laveen, AZ. But when he wasn't working at the cotton gin, he tended bars to help make ends meet and support his family. When Seamus McCaffrey's, downtown Phoenix's first and only Irish pub‚ opened its doors in 1992, Frank helped make it happen. He then fulfilled a life-long dream when he and business partner and good friend, Andy Mullally, purchased Seamus' Downtown.
Frank and Andy embrace the potential for growth in downtown Phoenix and are proud to have started from the ground up and built Seamus's into the popular downtown landmark it is today. Their goal has been to pioneer a place that could rival some of the old pubs in places like Boston and New York, and visitors and regulars feel they've succeeded quite well.

Open 7 days a week,
In memory of a legend...
Frank, a Korean War veteran, moved to AZ in '54. He managed a cotton gin in the West Valley by day and tended bar at night. For over 50 years, Frank was in the bar business in some way, shape, or form.
He worked at the Dubliner Irish Pub before becoming the manager at Seamus McCaffery’s – which he eventually purchased after ten years. And in 2009, he opened the Turf Irish Pub nearby. For those of you who knew Frank, you knew that Phoenix was his town. Frank was a visionary for downtown Phoenix and for that, he will always be remembered as a legend.
“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” - Slaintè Frank!
