Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone!
Irish pubs are fun places to go to. What makes McNamara’s so unique from other pubs I’ve been to is the building – it use to be a funeral home. Now some people may be freaked out by this, but trust me when I say there is no resemblance to a funeral home inside. When you walk through the door it really feels like you are stepping into someone’s home. There are different rooms set up with tables, booths, a bar area, and an upstairs that they use for events.
They have an extensive menu with all the classics. I knew I had to order the Scotch Eggs. For anyone not familiar with this dish, it’s a hardboiled egg that is wrapped in ground sausage, breaded and then deep fried. They serve theirs with a homemade sauce that has a hint of mustard in it. Their Scotch Eggs have a great crunch when you bite in. The salty flavor from the sausage is complemented by the sweetness of the dipping sauce.
Instead of ordering the traditional Shepherd’s Pie, I decided to try their “Irish Nachos” – which combines French fries with shepherd’s pie ingredients, cheese and fresh tomatoes on top. It was a fun twist on the classic that is much better for sharing with the table.
If you are in the mood for some good Irish comfort food then you must visit McNamara’s. Visit their website at: www.mcnamarasirishpub.com
