    This place can be pretty pricey but they run good specials on food and drinks for "happy hour" until 9 pm!

    This Celtic temple to all things pub-ly is sporting Irish fuel like Smithwicks matched with the authentic bangers 'n mash. After a couple of rounds your writer instincts will surely kick in. Read more

    The food is great here. And they have Powers on hand. Skip all those other “Irish Pubs” and come to Beckett’s where they get it. And you.

    If you would like to consume a fine selection of Irish beers before turning to the whiskys, & if you are not turned off by a mild folkloric bent, then we suggest you stop by this thoroughly done spot.
