This large, friendly and award-winning Irish pub is divided into a front bar and a back room. Live music is played every night, and many nights there are simultaneous performances in the two rooms. Guinness is a very popular draft, but there are plenty of imports, microbrews and other beers to choose from. The menu is basic: appetizers and salads, burgers and sandwiches, roasted meats. Irish dishes include shepherd's pie, Guinness stew, Irish breakfast (on weekends), and roast dinner (on Sunday evenings).

Great Irish pub
