Our entire pub family was saddened to learn of the recent passing of a true Wooden Nickel legend gone way too soon. Josh Quirk was many things— consummate bar professional, seasoned traveler, chalkboard artist par excellence, bearded curmudgeon. He had many opinions and he didn’t mind sharing them with you anytime you never asked. Whether it was from skipping your song on the jukebox, guiding you towards the latest craft beer he was passionate about, or going down a long late night indie rock rabbit hole, your experiences with him were always memorable, entertaining, and 100% genuine

His knowledge was vast and his opinions were fierce, and our town of Hillsborough was lucky to have him around for as long as we did. If you knew him outside of work then perhaps you knew the carefully-concealed kindness lurking beneath that crusty grouch surface— always very generous with his time, quick to buy you a drink, an excellent listener, the best at connecting people from all walks of life

There was no shift more synonymous around here with Josh back in his day than Tuesday nights. He worked several hundred Wing Nights, and loved the energy, chaos and community they’d bring. Always with a well-curated playlist to match his mood, not yours. So it seemed most fitting to us to offer one more Hillsborough Wing Night to y’all, to commemorate, celebrate and pay respects to our friend. We’ll do this the Tuesday after Memorial Day starting at 5pm, and we cordially invite all of you to join

The kitchen gang’s bringing back a few vintage wing sauces we haven’t made in a decade or so, we’ll be rocking Josh playlists all night long, and familiar faces will be serving up lots of cold beers and half price wings. Tales will be told and memories will be remembered. A one of a kind evening for a one of a kind soul 🌼
