"One of the OGs of Houston’s Irish pub scene, this River Oaks institution has been kicking it since 1983, and with good reason. A dedicated whiskey list consisting of rare single malts and classics is served alongside all your Guinnesses and craft brews. The Chicago-style thin crust bar pies are the pub’s calling card, and corned beef sandwich and signature Irish nachos are also not to be missed. The bar’s patio gets rowdy and is home to one of the best St. Patrick’s Day parties in town." - Sean Hekmat
