Irish Pubs and Restaurants Comparison

Irish Pubs and Restaurants Comparison
With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, visitors to Orlando will most be looking for the best in authentic Irish foods and pubs. 

When we speak about authentic Irish pubs there are a few things to keep in mind. Number one Irish pubs will be named after the family that owns them. Secondly– an authentic Irish pub only serves alcohol. Over time as more Irish families started dining out, more pubs started to serve food just to increase revenue. In many countryside Irish pubs, you won’t typically find food served there. 

Another thing to keep in mind is that Irish pubs aren’t what you call fancy, they were originally created for the working class and with that in mind, have a very low key environment where you can unwind, listen to cool folk music and knock one back with ‘yer wee friends.’
