Across from Sprint Center, Raglan Road greets its patrons with the smell of whiskey barrels. Everything is imported from Ireland - from the pictures on the wall to the bar stools and the chandeliers. The pub’s themed rooms are perfect for private parties, and a huge wraparound patio fills quickly when concerts and events take place across the street. It's both authentic and impressive at the same time - on weekends, though, it’s best seen early in the evening, before Top 40 cover bands fill the Grand Room and sloshy Power & Light District partiers bump and grind in front of the stage.
This vast, antique-filled, over-the-top Irish saloon reportedly cost a pretty penny to construct, and it shows. It’s the fantasy version of a “neighborhood” Irish pub, with cold ale, excellent fish and chips, burgers, scallops, and Guinness bangers and mash. The menu – created by Irish chef Kevin Dundon – isn’t elaborate, though the presentation of certain dishes is clever and sometimes whimsical (desserts can be too clever for their own good). It’s a lively place, and if you’re dining in the main room with the tall Corinthian columns, be warned: It can get as noisy as Dublin’s Connelly Station — Charles Ferruzza
