In addition to the St. Patrick’s Day festivities at many of the pubs and bars in Anaheim, the region hosts a variety of Irish restaurants serving up authentic cuisine year-round. If you’d prefer to avoid the crowds, check out the offerings at McFadden’s Anaheim. Located at 400 Disney Way, you’ll want to try the Irish Nachos with tater tots instead of chips, along with the Irish Sampler which includes Irish stew and Irish dumplings.
Branagan’s Irish Pub, located at 213 N Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, is a relaxed sports bar where you’ll find plenty of imported beers on tap. Their pub grub pairs well with their extensive whiskey selection. Try the shepherd’s pie, corned beef and cabbage, or the bangers and mash featuring pork belly.
Irish Traditions
The Red Leprechaun can be found at 4000 E Anaheim St, Long Beach, and it does allow a few California wines to season its menu. However, most come for the live performances and indulgent fare. The Irish-American mac and cheese, topped with braised corn beef, is a favorite. The House Corned Beef Sandwich is another staple.
At DOHENY’S Tavern Grill and Sports Pub, located at 13062 Chapman Ave, Garden Grove, you get fast and friendly service. Strong cocktails, an excellent breakfast menu, and a laidback environment is what DOHENY’s is known for.
