"There’s an unwritten law somewhere that every town needs an Irish pub, but not all Irish pubs are equal. Mickey Byrne’s is an exemplary – and authentic – version worthy of your attention. The pub, owned by Irish native Mark Rowe, opened in 2008 to bring a bit of Irish food and community to Hollywood. You’ll find no DJs, no giant Shamrocks – just solid pub fare, a good beer selection, great drinks, and a friendly Cheers-like vibe. Mickey’s is a local spot and welcomes everyone: There’s a complete Irish pub menu with items such as shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash, but there’s also a vegan-friendly menu and even a doggie menu. During soccer season, the pub opens super early for game viewing, and during American football season, Cleveland Browns fans gather to cheer on their team." - Laine Doss
