"If you’re looking for Irish pub grub and a perfectly poured pint of Guinness, John Martin’s is your destination. The restaurant, which opened in 1989 and then reopened after founders John Clarke and Martin Lynch retired, offers traditional Irish fare, a whisky program that boasts more than 400 whiskies, and live music. On St. Patrick’s Day, John Martin’s spills out into the street for its annual block party." - Laine Doss
