Short story
Life of The Tara started as an English pub called “O’Henry’s”. In 1995 Bakker family bought the place and transformed it into an Irish pub, and this is when The Tara got its’ name. Within years the bar got several chances for expansion and grew from occupying a single building to three joined houses. Later on The Tara went through some more changes and shifted from a typical Irish pub to a beautiful combination of Irish and Dutch cultures, flavoured by the mixture of other European and Middle East countries styles.
