A Dubliner "didn't have a clue what he was doing" when he opened a majorly successful Irish pub in the States almost 30 years ago.
Fergus Carey moved to the US when he was 24 after he became disillusioned with the humdrum of his work and daily routine on the north side of Dublin. The 59-year-old publican-restaurateur initially began his Stateside adventure in Texas, but moved to Philadelphia just two weeks in after "finding his groove" in the city he describes as "a cultural hub".
After working in pubs across Philadelphia's city centre, Fergie opened his own spot five years later - it is now known as Fergie's Pub. There, customers can tuck into home favorites such as Guinness onion soup, corned beef and cabbage and an all-day Irish breakfast.
