Address: 2323 York Rd.
Description: When you are looking for an Irish pub you’ll probably be real happy when you come across a Web site that’s counting down the days until St. Patrick’s Day. Chef Liam Hickey touts their Sunday brunch (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and you’ll find traditional and perhaps some unorthodox Irish offerings (Irish nachos?) on the regular menu. Live music is available with a list of upcoming performers on the Web site. The dessert list—Irish cream cheesecake, homemade bread pudding, warm apple pie a la mode—tries to tell you ahead of time that you shouldn’t indulge in too much dinner. The restaurant is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. with menu service until midnight on weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends.
