Pub with extensive beer list, acclaimed fish & chips & brunch
"Not much has changed here since the bar opened in 1998. The classic pub looks the part, with lots of dark wood and cozy lighting, and it’s still a great place to meet with friends over a pint of perfectly poured Guinness or a Belgian tripel pulled from the huge selection of drafts and bottles. The fish and chips are UK-level good—beer-battered Atlantic cod is lightly coated, crisp, and hot, and the homemade tartar sauce is equal parts creamy and tangy. Add the plump mussels steamed in Hoegaarden white ale to confirm that there’s nothing beer can’t do." - kevin gray

"Since 1998, this East Dallas Irish pub has been serving patrons looking for a laidback good time, from weekend brunch to late-night drinks. March is ideal for settling under an umbrella on the patio for extended periods of time in the warm, fresh air. Order an Irish Old Fashioned, a nuanced twist on the classic featuring Jameson, Peychaud’s Bitters, orange, and a maraschino cherry garnish — which becomes a little whiskey-soaked treat after the final sip." - Steven Craig Lindsey
"Open since 1998, this Irish boasts a cozy atmosphere, plenty of whiskey, and fan-favorite snacks. Pair a pint or two with excellent fish and chips, or assemble a shareable board of cheese and snacks from a lengthy list of options like whiskey cheddar, homemade pate, and Welsh rarebit." - Courtney E. Smith
"Brunch doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to be good. This spot does big dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. If a big, classic breakfast meal scratches the brunch itch — think chicken with biscuits and gravy, a classic egg plate with all the fixings, or breakfast tacos, head here. And try the Red Stella, a mix of Bloody Marys and Stella Artois." - Courtney E. Smith
