They say everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Many restaurants and bars claim the same about their March 17 fare, but some are more Irish than others. San Diego County has its fair share of Irish eateries and pubs. While we can’t vouch for the authenticity of the food and drink they serve, we tracked down a sampling of those that offer “green” experiences. Decide for yourself it it’s the real deal or just a bunch of malarkey.
The Field: This turn-of-the-20th-century Irish country pub was shipped literally piece by piece from Ireland and relocated in the historic Gaslamp Quarter. Most popular with patrons: Draught Guinness beer, Irish coffee, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, full traditional Irish breakfast. Check their website and Facebook page for St. Patrick’s Day specials.
