The Auld Dubliner is known for delicious food, thirst-quenching drinks, and—yes, really—that one time Bono played the part of temporary bartender. While Bono might not be serving your drinks when you go to the Auld Dubliner, there are still plenty of other reasons to enjoy what this pub has to offer. Sample traditional foods, including a whiskey chicken boxty (a kind of Irish potato pancake), shepherd’s pie, corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, and much more. For some more American, but just as delicious, options, choose from their selection of burgers and sandwiches.

They also offer a huge (and we mean HUGE) selection of beer, brandy, and Irish whiskey. Lastly, don’t miss the happy hour menu with drink offerings like the Dublin Donkey (Irish whiskey, honey liqueur, ginger beer, and lime) and snacks like curry chips, scotch eggs, and mini sausage rolls.

To-go ordering is available from 12-8 p.m. at The Auld Dubliner. Their website offers easy online ordering with pickup and delivery options.
