The Local
Their doors welcome you into the old world. In contrast with reputations in the lore of the Irish, their food is high priority. Fish & Chips, the classics and more than a few ringers for the worldly eaters. The craic is good. There’s always something to watch, even when the rugby isn’t on the screen. This year for St. Patrick’s Day they are giving away a prize package which includes reserve seating for you and 7 of your besties with a $500 gift card to party the day away!
