Cassidy's Irish Pub

Cassidy’s is at 601 N Water Street and has been part of Downtown nightlife since 2000, according to the local district. After a renovation, it reopened in November 2025. That history helps explain the pub’s familiar place in the area: it pairs an explicitly Irish identity with music programming and a bar that serves both guests looking for a pint and those who prefer cocktails.

The drinks list gives visitors a choice of Guinness Stout on draft, alcohol-free Guinness 0, Harp Lager, and Smithwick’s Irish Red, alongside Texas beers and other labels. The cocktail menu adds house choices such as an Irish Cold Brew Martini, Irish Lily, and Jameson Tea; it also lists a White Negroni made with Gunpowder Irish Gin. These are specific options to look for at the bar without relying on a temporary promotion.

The Corpus Christi downtown district also classifies Cassidy’s as a music venue, and the tourism office included it in its 2026 St Patrick’s Day programme. That confirms its event role, but it does not mean there is live music every night. Check the current calendar if a performance or celebration is central to your plans.

Comments tied to this location include favorable mentions of a welcoming room, music, and attentive staff. Those are individual experiences, but they fit the bar-and-stage setting described by local sources. For a first visit, the official schedule lists opening at 4 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on weekends, with closing at 2 a.m. See the Corpus Christi Irish-pub guide to compare Cassidy’s with Mully’s.
