College graduates on the hunt for their dream job now have the convenience of getting valuable career advice and hot job tips - all while getting to make Happy Hour.

The nation's first career center located inside a tavern, opened its doors Monday in Manhattan. The Irish American Tavern Job Center is situated inside O'Casey's Tavern located at 22 East 41st Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues in Midtown.
