Outside the Lines Original: Enoch's Irish Pub and Cafe
In the heart of Monroe, there’s a place where tradition, community, and music intertwine to create an atmosphere unlike any other. That place is Enoch’s Irish Pub, a cornerstone of the local scene since its establishment in 1980 by Doyle and Yvette Jeter.
Enoch’s journey began on Desiard St., nestled close to the university, where it quickly became a beloved spot for locals and students. Named after Doyle’s first name, Enoch’s soon became a fixture in the community. However, the journey didn’t stop there. Enoch’s ventured to Shreveport and then back to its roots in Monroe, undergoing transformations along the way. The current iteration emerged in 1999 as an Irish pub, infusing the vibrant culture and spirit of the Emerald Isle into its identity.
For the Jeter family, Enoch’s isn’t just a business, it’s a way of life. Growing up immersed in the ins and outs of the hospitality industry, it was inevitable that the love for music, the arts, and serving others would be ingrained into Doyle and Yvette’s son John. From bartending to managing, the path eventually led to ownership, a journey marked by dedication, passion, and a deep-rooted connection to the community.
Ask anyone about Enoch’s, and they’ll tell you it’s more than just a pub - it’s a community hub. The heartbeat of Enoch’s lies in its vibrant music scene, where legendary artists like Rick Danko of the Band and Jerry Jeff Walker have graced the stage alongside local talents such as Josh Madden and Four on the Floor.
The commitment to community engagement is evident in Enoch’s various charitable initiatives. From the annual St. Patrick’s Day fundraiser for St. Vincent De Paul Pharmacy which has raised over $100,000, to the monthly charity pub quiz, Enoch’s consistently gives back to the community that has supported them throughout the years.
The legacy of Enoch’s extends beyond its walls, with founder Enoch Doyle Jeter establishing the North Louisiana Music Trail to honor the region’s musical heritage and pay homage to the artists who paved the way.
