Description: Raglan Road Irish Pub is a real Irish pub imported from Ireland. Not just the beer is from Ireland; the entire structure was created in Ireland and imported into the USA to be reconstructed in Downtown Disney. Some of its parts, like the magnificent wood bars, are over 130 years old, reclaimed from Dublin’s finest Victorian houses. What could be wrong with a pub that features a framed knockoff of the Mona Lisa with a foam moustache from drinking Guinness? Brilliant!
Raglan Road has beautiful architecture, antique wood, stained glass, real beer, great live Irish music in the evening, classic recorded Celtic greats all day, and a menu created by a fabulous gourmet chef, who was also imported from Ireland. The restaurant features incredible food, like Fada Burger (with bacon-and-tomato chutney topped with Wexford Vintage Cheddar), It’s not bleedin’ Chowder (fresh seafood infused with white wine and finished cream with fresh potato), Keen Eye for the Shepherds Pie, Raglan Road Rack of Lamb, One & One (Dublin speak for beer-battered fish-and-chips), and Planxty (roast pork shank.) It's like a bit of Dublin at Disney--wait, it IS a bit of Dublin at Disney. Slainte!
There is a LOT of room here, enough for 400 diners at one time. All of this elbow room from the soaring ceilings and spacious aisles provide plenty of “space” and a welcome respite from the Disney crush. If the beer was cheaper than $6.50 a draft, you could sit there all day and soak up the flavor of Dublin (not implying that the beer is not wonderful...).
Outside sits a pensive sculpture of WB Yeats. It’s amazing how many people don’t have a clue who this literary “giant” was or why he would be seated outside an Irish pub.
