The Shamrock Bar & Grille
The Shamrock Bar & Grille is like a genuine Irish pub, and shows sports games on its TVs several nights a week. Visit on Tuesdays and Thursdays to take part in their team trivia evenings. Food from the extensive menu is available for lunch and dinner daily. For starters, try the Irish nachos (potatoes, cheese, bacon, jalapenos, sour cream and ranch dressing) or the catfish fingers. Entrees include fish and chips, bangers and mash, London broil and blackened catfish. When it comes time for dessert, you can step outside the ordinary with choices like a deep-fried cookie dough eggroll or stay traditional with a brownie sundae.

O'Neill's Traditional Irish Pub
O'Neill's Traditional Irish Pub may not look much like a real Irish pub from the outside, but inside the slightly cramped and darkened interior lends an immediate air of authenticity; as do the the wood furniture and the well-stocked bar. The menu here offers slightly more than the usual pub grub fare. Appetizers include Dublin salmon cakes and chicken tenders, while the salad menu ranges from the traditional Caesar salad to the unusual fried salmon salad with honey balsamic dressing. Entrées include Irish-inspired dishes like corned beef and cabbage as well as Guinness fish and chips.
