Forget the green beer and assembly-line corned beef sandwiches: Where are the best Irish pubs and bars in New Jersey for St. Patrick’s Day and beyond?
My list of N.J.’s best Irish pubs draws on extensive field research and assorted bar crawls (hey, someone had to do it). I’ve raised my share of Guinness pints. My favorite winter/spring brew: a half and half with Guinness and Smithwick’s (I’ll pour one later).
As far as food, if there’s one cuisine that gets less respect than Irish food, it hasn’t been invented yet. But there are few comfort foods more satisfying than a good shepherd’s pie or Guinness stew. Many of the bars on this list are not just festive hangouts any day of the year; they make standout food.
