The Colony is home to this Irish bar aimed at sports fans. It’s geared towards Boston Irish, with New England Patriots-themed dishes and bites like the New England Clam Chowdah and a loosely Irish breakfast plate. It’s a pretty straight-ahead list of Irish beers and spirits here, along with domestic and local brews. 

It’s the Ruben at this Irish tavern up in Richardson. Or perhaps the Irish nachos, which start with housemade potato chips and pile on Shepherd’s pie mix, cheese, and bacon bits and is served on a hot cast iron skillet. Or, for some more authentic Irish fare, try the Guinness stew pie. Have a whiskey and enjoy some live music, too.

A great North Dallas option for St. Pat’s revelers, the Irishman Pub offers corned beef and cabbage, Shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, and fish and chips, among typical American pub fare.

Thankfully, this long-running Irish bar in Dallas hasn’t changed much in several decades. While it doesn’t serve traditional Irish dishes, this is always ground zero for St. Patrick’s Day revelers, especially those who have attended the parade just up the block on Greenville. Consider skipping the parade on St. Paddy’s Day and getting to the bar early when it opens at 8 a.m. for an Irish coffee. 

Irishman Feargal McKinney opened several bars locally after touching down in Dallas in the ‘80s. The Skellig is always a good choice for an authentic Irish experience. Grab fish and chips or corned beef and cabbage with a side of Guinness for brunch before or after the parade. 

Find this pub in the Arts District, where diners can order traditional corned beef, bangers and mash, pub curry, burgers, wings, sandwiches, and more. Traditional Irish bread pudding, Guinness ice cream, and lots of traditional Irish booze are on the dessert menu. 

This authentic Irish pub Downtown serves all the best fare from the British Isles, including bangers and mash, Shepherd’s pie, Scotch eggs, fish and chips, a traditional Irish breakfast, and international variations on Irish favorites like the corned beef and cabbage rolls that look something like a deep fried egg roll. It stocks a large selection of domestic craft beers and some international standbys, all best enjoyed on the outdoor patio. 

It’s not St. Patrick’s Day until someone does an Irish Car Bomb shot, and this Fort Worth pub wants to be the go-to. Pair it with some Dingle Drunken Mussels or a corned beef and cabbage roll to get into the spirit.
