I recently tried this restaurant for the first time and highly recommend Claddagh Irish Pub. While my party stuck with standard burgers and sandwiches, there were several authentic Irish dishes, like bangers and mash, on the menu. The food was a bit on the expensive side for casual dining, but we thought it was worth it because everything tasted great and came in good-sized portions.
What really made Claddagh stand out for me, though was the atmosphere. I felt like I had actually stepped into a neighborhood pub. Seating was more reminiscent of armchairs and couches than typical restaurant furniture, and dim lighting and a fire only added to the cozy feel. My friends and I don't drink, so we passed up that part of the pub experience, but there seemed to be a large selection of beers, and I'm pretty sure this is the only place where you'll see Guinness listed in the "Starters" portion of the menu.
