The Scene
Swathed in more wall-to-wall green than you can shake a Shamrock at, the place balances traditional Irish comfort with the quirky allure that is Fremont's signature. An even mix of weathered locals and fresh-faced college students throw back pints of Guinness or Harp's on Tuesday's open mic night. On Wednesdays, the toe-tapping tradition continues with live Irish music. Late weeknights and weekends find dart-throwers and pool sharks adding wear to the already-worn wood floors.

The Draw
Burgers and appetizers are only average. Instead, cozy up to one of the pub's filling Irish options, such as the "Danny Boy," corned beef and Swiss on rye, or the Guinness-battered fish and chips, complete with a sinful helping of fresh-cut fries. Or pair the flavorful broiled chicken sandwich, smothered in pepper jack cheese, with your pint of Harp's.
