[Shawn Mulchay]

Actually, you can take advantage of the Brendan's irish Pub Birthday club at all three locations: Camarillo, Agoura Hills, and coming-soon Newbury Park. The Birthday Guest simply needs to come in on the day of their birthday, flash their ID or drivers license to verify, and they'll get a complimentary entree of their choice when anyone in their party orders an entree of equal or greater value.
