Nominated for: BEST Live Music Venue
Hal and Mal's is an Irish restaurant and brewery serving Pub food and a variety of beers to complement your meal. Catering service is also available.
Who is Mal, anyway? "Mal" is Malcolm White...Jackson's resident club owner/restauranteur/promoter/head of the Mississippi Arts Commission, writer/publisher/piano-playing blues-ologist/philanthropist/philosopher, and most importantly, "Leprechaun-at-Large."
Mal started a St. Paddy Parade because Jackson didn't have one. It all started way back in late '70's when a young(er) Mal lived and worked in New Orleans' French Quarter. Mal was fascinated and excited by the concept of parades. There were Mardi Gras Parades, Jazz Funeral Marches, and small street parades happening all the time, and Mal became a "Parade Man" for life.
