In 1927, looking for a real estate investment, Kansas Gas & Electric Company engineer C.V. Waddington contracted to have a small building constructed at 1724 W. Douglass (that's the way they spelled the street name then) Avenue. Sited in what was then known as Junction Township, the building consisted of a storefront and two upstairs apartments. Waddington retained ownership of the structure until

1933 when, shortly after the repeal of Prohibition, he sold the property to local airplane designer T.C. Geselle (who, according to his granddaughter, was also a part-time bootlegger) opened the storefront as Geselle's Bar & Grill. A large photograph of the bar from those early glory days still hangs in the Shamrock today. At some point during Geselle's tenure, the building was divided down the middle, and Mrs. After this point, the building's history becomes somewhat hazy, but it is believed that around 1949, Geselle sold the structure to Wichita businessman Morris McGlynn, who opened it as the Shamrock Lounge. Morris alternately operated and leased the bar until his death, at which time his son Paul took over the helm. When Paul McGlynn passed away, his wife Neoma took over as landlady. The Shamrock then went through a series of operators who ran the bar with varying degrees of success until it reached its lowest point in 2002. That's when David Stough took over operations and began a measured rebuilding process of the building's interior and exterior, including the creation of a patio where customers can sit outdoors with friends and enjoy the warm weather months. In 2019 Dave retired and sold the Shamrock Lounge to Justin Brown. He has built the bar into a premier music venue, while keeping the same friendly neighborhood feel.
