Donna Collins
OwnerThe Perfect Blend of Ledger Sheets and Lyric Sheets
After 35 years navigating the complex world of non-profit business and finance, I decided it was time to trade the boardroom for the barroom. My career was dedicated to helping organizations grow and give back, but my heart always beat to a different rhythm—one found in the pubs of Ireland and the roar of a live crowd.
Being Irish isn’t just about my heritage; it’s about a philosophy of hospitality where "there are no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet." I wanted to create a space that combined that authentic Irish warmth with the electric, interactive energy of dueling pianos.
McEisley's Tavern is the culmination of three decades of business expertise and a lifelong love of music. I’ve gone from balancing books to balancing the perfect pint—and I couldn't be happier. Come for the music, stay for the craic, and let’s make some noise together.

Brayden Marra
General Manager
As the General Manager of McEisley’s Irish Dueling Piano Bar, I aim to provide a perfect blend of professionalism, passion, and personality to every night’s performance. I carry with me a deep love for hospitality and live entertainment. So, rest assured that every guest who walks through our doors will feel the warmth, energy, and charm that make McEisley’s a local standout favorite.
My goal is to create a welcoming atmosphere where great music meets great company, integrity, and a genuine commitment to excellence. Whether coordinating a lively evening of piano duels, supporting the staff, or chatting with regulars at the bar, I believe in making every moment memorable.
When not managing the rhythm of the night, I get to enjoy connecting with the community, discovering new music, and celebrating the spirit of Irish hospitality that defines McEisley’s Tavern.
