WELCOME to the web site for Belden Village's only old-fashioned neighborhood Pub with old-fashioned prices. For your enjoyment, we have created a comfortable, friendly gathering place, reminiscent of the old-fashioned neighborhood Pubs that flourished during the turn-of-the-century. We have used antiques,oak wood, stained and beveled glass and solid brass to recreate the ambiance that was prevalent in the early 1900's. Our large ceiling light fixtures were salvaged from the old downtown Canton Polsky's store that closed in the late 60's. Salvaged from a turn-of-the-century church in Pittsburgh, Pa., come the refinished church pews which serve as our booths. Our restored phone booth came from a now demolished downtown Akron hotel Hand-tooled railings and old-fashioned English Pub signs, imported from London, lend an antique and continental air.The solid oak doors, adorning the interior, were obtained from local estate auctions. The beveled glass ceiling dome is a contemporary piece obtained at an architectural antique auction in Atlanta, Georgia. In an attempt to create a atmosphere conducive to friendly conversation, we have elected not to have a juke box. In it's place we have provided "easy listening" background music.
In 1987 we added the "Mansion Library." The room was modeled after a turn-of-the-century mansion library and is available for group or individual reservations. We feel that it will enhance any special occasion or add an air of dignity to any meeting. The solid oak paneled room has a rich mahogany finish. The double French beveled glass entrance doors are a 19th Century Victorian design. The large carved oak fireplace mantle was salvaged from a mansion in Philadelphia, Pa. The Victorian style carpeting was imported from London, England as was the wall covering above the oak paneling. The high relief wall covering is called lincrusta and was invented in London in 1877 by the inventor of Linoleum. It can be found in the most prestigious mansions in Europe and the United States, for example, the Carnegie Mansion in New York, the Pabst Mansion in Milwaukee, Wis., and the Rockefeller family mansion.
The twelve foot wide stained glass bay window was created by local artisans using antique style glass imported from Germany. The oak bookcases are intricately carved and contain a wide selection of refrence books for our patrons use. The cabinets below the bookshelves hold phone books for almost every city in the United States and several major European cities.
The rich Queen Ann tufted wingback conference chairs add a distinguished "men's club"atmosphere to the room.
In response to request for a non-smoking section, the Victorian Dining Room was opened in 1995. It is a bit more elegant and slightly more feminine than the Library. A quiet respite from the hustle, bustle of the Pub. It is available for individual reservations.
The unique quartz surround that accents the large oak fireplace in the Victorian Dining Room was salvaged from a mantle imported from London, England and enhanced with intricate carvings from California. The lincrusta wall covering and the Victorian style carpeting were also imported from London. The large tapestry hanging on the north wall was imported from France. The antique bronze sconces on the west wall come from a bank in Chicago, Ill. The decorative tin ceiling was hand-painted by local art students and Mulligan's employees. The hand guilding of the 185 panels took over 2 hours each to complete.
To ensure a genuinely smoke-free environment, the Victorian Dining Room and its richly appointed, marble floored waiting area have their own completely separate heating and ventilation systems. The hall chandelier, large pier mirror, and the two round Tiffany style stained glass ceiling pieces were obtained at an architectural antique auction in Atlanta, Georgia. The ceiling domes were originally the front windows of the First Baptist Church in downtown Canton that was destroyed by fire in 1991. A signed Tiffany window, "The Danner Memorial window (1913)", from the Church, sold at that same auction, to a private collector in Japan for $2 Million.
But Mulligan's offers more than atmosphere, it also has award winning food. Mulligan's is the only three time first place winner of the National Pro Football Hall of Fame Festival Rib Burn-Off. Mulligan's was also named as having the best Hamburger and Lunch in Canton in the First Annual "Best of Canton" competition. The Pub was recently named the "Best Watering Hole in Stark County" as a result of a survey conducted by the Canton Repository Newspaper, and as having the "Best Tasting Steak" in Canton by the same Newspaper's restaurant critic. Mulligan's was chosen by the Sun Journal's Phantom Gourmet as "The Best Casual Dining" and "Best Vegetarian Selection" in the Canton area. It was also rated excellent by the "Zagat Survey." And now, Mulligan's is the only Stark County Restaurant with a full Vegetarian "Pub Style" menu.
We hope your visit to Mulligan's is enjoyable.. but before you leave the restaurant, we invite you to challenge one of our dart boards for a quick game of cricket, a pastime enjoyed by Pub patrons in Europe and here in the Canton area. Thank you for stopping by the web site, and don't forget to tell a friend about us.
