Owner and Mansfield resident Rob Burns says he's already gearing up for the big day.

Burns said that the toughest thing as a bar owner is figuring out how much to buy before the weekend for ordering reasons. “The toughest thing, because it’s on a Saturday, is how many kegs of Guinness do you need?” he said. “We’ve got seven in house, so we should be good.” Casey O’Conors beat out nine other bars and restaurants during the course of the week with a total of 65 votes. Jimmy’s Pub came in at a close second with 41 votes, and the Catman Café came …
