With St. Patrick's Day around the corner, here's a list of the most authentic Irish Pubs around the city to enjoy your Patty's Day the Irish way.
Pogue Mahone, a proud member of Toronto’s Irish Pub Family (including Foggy Dew, The Pour House and Murphy’s Law) is a great spot to stop in for a pint of Guinness or authentic Irish grub, such as the such as the Irish Fry and Corned Beef Hash on their weekend brunch menu. If you can’t kiss a Blarney Stone this year, you can always kiss their Blarney Burger!
P.J. O'Brien's is a friendly Irish pub that serves up loads of beer and grub like Homemade Irish Sausages and Guinness BBQ Ribs. The upstairs Fireplace Bar is a cozy getaway for those opting for a more intimate celebration.
The Irish Embassy is definitely Irish – even down to the newspapers they stock at the front. Situated inside an old bank building and smack dab on the corner of Yonge and Wellington, this spectacular pub is close to nightlife and all forms of transit, ensuring a safe ride home from the festivities. It’s a short walk to Union Station, King Subway Station and several streetcar routes. Check out their giant selection of beers!
Grace O'Malley's, a recent addition to Toronto’s Irish pub scene is named after one of Ireland’s most famous noblewomen. The dimly lit pub is massive with a big stage that hosts popular Irish and East Coast acts like Signal Hill, several nights a week. If you were hoping to perform your annual Irish jig, there’s tons of room to dance.
Watermark has the best view of all Irish pubs in Toronto due to its prime location on the waterfront. The Watermark is fast becoming a Toronto favourite due to its authentic Irish ales including Guinness, Smithwick’s, Kilkenny, and Harp and non-touristy meal prices including $5 appetizer specials during Monday night cocktail hour.
Molly Blooms - This student-friendly chain of Irish pubs is found in several university towns across Ontario and serves up cheap pints of beer, menu items like Guinness Battered Fish and Chips and more. Self-described as an old style pub with a modern day twist, Molly Bloom’s features entertainment like karaoke on Mondays and football parties. Check their website for a running countdown to the big day.
Brazen Head’s the newest Irish pub on the scene and one of the latest nightspots to hit the booming Liberty Village. It serves up plenty of Guinness, draught beers and traditional Irish pub fare and has live music downstairs every Saturday. The upstairs Poet’s Pub has awesome views of the city. Rumour has it, there are tons of singles from surrounding condos, so if you’re on the market, keep this pub in mind.
St. Patrick's Day has never felt so good!
