The Great Recession was not kind to the vaguely Irish-themed casual dining chain, Bennigan's. The 288 unit chain shrank to 15 US locations plus a handful abroad between 2008 and 2018. This one in Midland, Michigan closed not long after I ate there last December, but the brand seems to be attempting a resurgence, as a handful of new Bennigan's locations have opened up in the past couple of years.
