The Heritage of Dickie O'Neal's Irish Pub Restaurant in Palm Springs, CA

 Our Heritage


Dickie O'Neal's Irish Pub Restaurant is a family-owned business. Our heritage is Irish and is associated with the Gillespie Clan, Crossmolina, County Mayo, Ireland. In 1918, the Gillespie's (Michael, Rose Anna, Peter, and Mary) came to the United States, via the S.S. Columbia, and settled in Youngtown, Ohio.  The Gillespie's welcomed their first American-born child, Rose, in 1924.

Until his death in 1963, Michael Gillespie supported his family in the new country, by working the steel mills of the Mahoning Valley, Youngstown, Ohio. 

The owner of Dickie O'Neal's Irish Pub is 3nd generation American, only preceded by her father, and her Grammy Rose (also known as Mo Mo).  The pub owner, sister, and two cousins, and their fathers are the last American survivors of this Gillespie lineage.
