We’re just about that time when everyone pretends to be Irish. Friends and co-workers temporarily transition away from their usual craft beer favorites and relive the experience of a Guinness Stout or a Black and Tan.
If you are interested in trying out some Irish fare and want to eat something better than Shannon’s corned beef, I highly recommend that you consider one of the following South Bay establishments. There’s something for those seeking more traditional fare and offerings for those that just like to have fun with green food.
Here’s a famous Irish saying that you can think about that day, ” May the roof above you never fall in and those gathered beneath it never fall out.”
