o'dowd's little dublin

a relaxing sunday lunch!. we visited on sunday afternoon, so we did not have to witness the party. the food wasgoodand the service was fast. the guinness steak boxty was both authentic and awesome.

consistantlygoodfor -me-!. i've heard many mixed reviews of this pub, which makes me question their consistancy. i've gone here for lunch many times and it has always been good. i generally order the fish and chips or steak boxty, which are always delicious. all the times i've had company, they've enjoyed what they ordered. the place has a great selection of beer, but the atmosphere is a bit lacking for the dining crowd in my opinion. the dining area also gets a bit cramped on the weekends. in conclusion, if you enjoy agoodbeer and a hearty irish meal, check this place out.

last time i ate there i vowed to just drink there and not eat again. the food really isn't that great. it's agoodbar though.

mmm...reuben.... okay, so we didn't start off great here - the service was a little slow, to say the least. but the ambiance and beer selection made up for it. i just wouldn't plan on getting in and out really quickly. i had a reuben sandwich and my companion had a shepherd's pie. both were outstanding. i wouldn't have minded a little more corned beef on my sandwich, but what i did have was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of thousand island and sauerkraut, topped with melting swiss. it's in the country club plaza, which can cause parking headaches, tourist crowds at certain times and often overly priced items, but we hadgoodfood, two beers a piece, for less than 40 bucks with tip. a little pricey, but add in the live irish music (not the riverdance kind, luckily), and the evening was lovely.
