New Year, New Menu!

With 2016 finally here we are excited to announce that the pub has a new menu! But wait, don't worry...we made sure to keep your favorites on the list. The kitchen team has been working hard with Rob (the man, the myth, the legend) to come up with some new dishes that are sure to have your mouth watering:

First up is the Dubliner Cordon Bleu! This amazing dish includes chicken stuffed with ham and Kerry Gold Irish Cheddar served over sauteed sprouts, rosemary mash and covered in a cider cream sauce.

Next up is the Irish Pub Meatloaf made with ground beef, pork and get this...white pudding (YUM!) served with BallyMaloe gravy, mash, and pan fried cabbage and bacon. Make it a sandwich with some provolone cheese and caramelized onions! 

Another favorite is the Pub Chili served in a cup or a bowl, but trust us you're going to want the bowl, it's that good! Beef and black bean chili simmered in beer and topped with cheddar or scallions.

and of course there's some other hidden gems in the new menu for you to try out, like the Cork Cuban, Chicken Melt, and Steamed Mussels.

Check out the full menu here!
