Why You Should Go: You count down the days of the calendar until you can break out your entire green wardrobe, do a jig like a leprechaun, and drink Guinness like it’s your job. So we’ve found a spot where you can celebrate the Irish in you all year long: Brian Boru’s Restaurant and Pub. With traditional Irish dishes, live music, and pint pouring power, it’s the closest spot to the homeland.

What You Should Taste: We love the classics like Shepard’s Pie and their famous Fish and Chips, plus other pub grub like burgers, wings, crisp salads and toasted sandwiches. Dress in your Sunday best for their piping hot brunch buffet from 10am-1:30pm featuring eggs, corned beef, sausage, bacon and more.

What You Should Know: Since opening almost exactly five years ago, Brian Boru’s has hosted wide smiles and tall beers with the open arm policy of the Irish. From charity events to golf outings, ladies night to $5 burgers, the pub has it all – in the most Irish way possible.
