Where is the Best Irish Pub in Minneapolis, Minnesota?
The first thing that really strikes you is the traditional (and comfortable) pub atmosphere; dark stained wood, curtained side dining areas and a beautiful copper bar. The second, and possibly third through fifth, thing you’ll find is that they serve properly pulled pints of Guinness. Anyone who enjoys Guinness will appreciate that they take their time pouring and serve you a pint that delivers the full flavor intended by the brewers. It is also evident that, since they pour so much Guinness, the kegs are fresher than at most restaurants and the price remains below what I’ve come to expect for a pint of the stout.While the menu is not vast, it is filled with great traditional fare along side more contemporary pastas, sandwiches, etc. The fish and chips alone should solidify you as a regular; flavorful ale batter on a massive piece of moist whitefish. Their tartar sauce perfectly compliments the meal. The meatloaf is quite an undertaking, but chances are that you’ll choose to be painfu
New ownership has brought: 2 for 1s from 7-9 every day, flat screens for the games, a ping pong table, 2010 GoldenTee and Buck Hunter, plus a few aesthetic upgrades. In addition, there is a completely new staff that actually seems to enjoy having you there spending money. They have reduced their drink costs, reduced the cover charge to one night per week yet have continued to book talent. Perhaps the best part is that they left it as a great guys night out: basement bocce ball, billiards, and live Irish music remains a weekly (Thursday) highlight. If the talent that was hired for behind the bar would learn how to pour a proper pint of Guinness and the owners maybe add some Heggies pizza and update the outdated tap beer selection, they would really have something. But alas, there is reason to drink in the Como area once again.Pros + Updates, Happy Hour, Bar Games!!!Cons – Improper Guinness pours
