When Ireland calls...
See All Lists
1. Irish Whiskey Public House
Washington, DC 20036
(202) 463-3010
Categories:
Irish,
Pubs,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Dupont Circle
As a man of Irish descent, I have to say I was wholeheartedly thrilled to walk into this place and see it not adorned by all the stereotypical kitschy shit that every other knock-off pub covers their walls with. I absolutely love the design here, on…More »
2. Eamonn's: A Dublin Chipper
The best fish and chips in DC deserve a nod
And a fried candy bar selection quite broad
Don't bother going up to PX
If you want the food version of sex
Let Marie Rose get all over your cod
3. The Galway Hooker Irish Pub
This is the model by which all Irish pubs in America should aspire to become. Drinks, decor, atmosphere, service...they all remind you of the greatness that lies just across the Atlantic.
Galway has a plethora of little nooks and crannies to enjoy…More »
4. AGAINN
The food native to the UK can be one of the most unimaginative, boring cuisines on the planet, a fact I'm all too aware of as a proud Shamrock'er. Luckily for those of us wanting to embrace our heritage here, there are a number of inspiring…More »
5. The Queen Vic
Washington, DC 20002
(202) 396-2001
Categories:
Pubs,
British,
Fish & Chips
Neighbourhood: H Street Corridor/Atlas District/Near Northeast
For the longest time I've put off reviewing Queen Vic because my experiences were usually limited to simply drinking there, and on most occasions that was limited to one particular drink. Now, most anyone who knows me knows that I try when possible…More »
6. Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant
We came here pre-fireworks on the Fourth and the place was totally slammed. Even being busy we still got in right away, and the guy checking ID's at the door was super nice.
Most importantly, the bar staff was GREAT! We never waited more than a minute…More »
7. Kitty O'Shea's - CLOSED
Top o' the morning! Or in our case, afternoon...but it was brunch, so that's almost morning, right? I did at least have breakfast food, so I'm pretty sure I'm OK to use Irish cliches, especially since I'm Irish. In my quest to visit every Irish…More »
8. Grace O'Malley's
Toronto, ON M5H 3G8
Canada
(416) 596-1444
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
We stopped in here for a few beers on our very first night in Toronto, and we were pleasantly surprised. It was a very quiet Sunday night, and we were some of the only customers in the bar around 10pm. This worked out to our advantage because we had…More »
9. The Celtic Shop
What a cool little store! Being Irish I was delighted to find this gem of a shop on the back wall of a bigger shopping area on my last visit to Wilmington (I lived here for two years and had no idea it existed).
The store is loaded with all kinds of…More »
10. Duffy's Irish Restaurant & Pub
This bar definitely has a few major positives going for it. The layout is very conducive to lots of patrons getting heavily intoxicated, unfortunately the location is a bit out of the way from a big chunk of people who would feel right at home here.

11. The Pug
Washington, DC 20002
(202) 388-8554
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Bars
Neighbourhood: H Street Corridor/Atlas District/Near Northeast
I think perhaps I may have visited The Pug on an off-night, which could have an undue adverse effect on my rating, but all I have to go on is my experience so I will try not to let other's love for the place sway my voting. I think The Pug could be a…More »
12. The Dubliner
On a rainy day in DC you would think few places would be more welcoming than an old Irish pub. Not only are we some of the friendliest folk around, we're also used to the rain, so put those 2 together and you've got a great combination for weary…More »
13. Ri Ra Irish Pub
After being to the great Ri-Ra in Charlotte many times I was delighted to see that Bethesda had a replica of one of my favorite "chain" bars. Normally I don't expect a lot from these types of places, as they have strict standards to go by and they…More »
Recently updated lists from Justin C.
Oh No They Didn't! (52)Avoid these places if you like any of the following things: your health, your safety, your money, your friends. You are very likely to lose any or all of the above by visiting them. These are the worst of the bad places I've been to, and you do not want to be on this list if you're a business (and somehow still IN business). |
InspirAsian (49)The continent of Asia provides us with a myriad of wonders from architecture to cuisine and everything in between. There are plenty of lists out there targeted to specific countries and their specialties, be it Thai peppers, Japanese noodles, or Chinese dim sum. I decided to make this list to share my favorite places that have ties to any part of the region, because sometimes we just want a little culture in our life, and aren't sure what we want but we know we want something new. |
I Need A Drink! (89)These places are focused in some way on the one thing we can almost all agree on, alcohol! Whether it be wine, beer or spirits that get you going, somewhere on this list is bound to have what you're looking for. |
Crafty Cocktails (48)When I stray away from my love of craft beer it's more often than not because the cocktail list is so appealing I just can't resist. I really appreciate bars that come up with their own unique mixes, and here are some of my favorites. |
Fancy Pants (52)Get dressed up before coming here, as these are the "nicest" places you can dine or go out (with no consideration given in this list to the actual food and/or drinks). If you're not looking spiffy here you might get some stares... |
More Than Just A Spud (45)I'm Irish, through and through. Some may think it's a stereotype that we love our potatoes, and they're right, but that doesn't mean it's not true. We put them in, on, and with almost everything we eat, and we love every bite. Somehow though, some people have found ways to screw up this most basic of vegetables, so I created this list to glorify those who truly pay homage to the lifeblood of my homeland. [Note: This list is more than just fries, although it is heavily favored in that that direction, but also includes places that do homemade chips, or homefries, as well as just great all-around potato dishes. It's also attempted to be somewhat ranked, with my favorites at the top.] |
Tapas Teasers or Palate Pleasers? (9)Is it a great way to share plates, or just an inevitable money-sink that leaves you hungry after? The small plate phenomenon is catching on quickly as kitchens realize they can make major bank by giving you little portions, but some places excel where others falter. |
No Walls Needed (66)Like the idea or not, mobile food is becoming more popular every month in major cities across our country. The lower cost of doing business, partly from no rental costs and typically self-employed labor, gives us quite often some very unique food ideas at relatively cheap costs compared to your standard restaurant. If you're going to venture out there and have something different, I suggest trying some of these places in your quest for ultimate food bliss. |
Seattle Standouts (9)From sun up to sun down I was pleased with so many aspects of the month I spent in Seattle. It was easily the freshest fish I had ever experienced, and the creative genes are flowing rampantly in the blood of its chefs. You can see all the high resolution photos of the trip here: http://www.flickr.com/... |
Simply The Best (72)My favorite places to have a very memorable meal. If there were ever any occasion that required dining on the best food possible, I would gladly have it at one of these restaurants. These restaurants do something special to set them apart from just my favorite places to eat, they provide you with a unique atmosphere or cuisine that is above and beyond just good food. |
