Claddagh Irish Pub

an Irish Public House, with all the accoutrements to go with it, is the Claddagh Irish Pub, where everything from the furniture, to the brews, to the food just scream the Emerald Isle. Whether you're in the mood for a cool pint of bitters, or a hot plate of real Irish pub grub, they'll have just what you're looking for a fantastic evening. Once you take a bite of their food you'll think you've been whisked off to the British Isles.

From the very beginning of your meal, as early as Appetizers, you know you're in for an authentic experience. Almost every little thing on the menu has its own Irish twist, including the sweet potato and parsnip chips, the corned beef and cabbage rolls, the Claddagh rings, onions cooked in a Bass Ale batter, the shamrock wings, and loaded pub chips, layered with cheddar ale sauce, bacon, tomatoes and green onions. It's the perfect way to start any meal.

For your main meal, there are plenty of choices, but some of the best are in their specialty and Taste of Ireland menus. Their specialties include many pub favorites, including Fish and Chips, Bangers with special Champ mashed potatoes and rosemary gravy, Guinness Beef Stew, Rack of Lamb, Jameson Dublin Broiled Drunken Steak, with sauteed mushrooms, onion straws in an Irish Whiskey glaze, Kinvara salmon, and, of course, a delicious Shepherd's Pie. Their Taste of Ireland Menu includes less well-known Irish favorites, such as the smoked salmon boxty, the Barristers Steak Sandwich, topped with white cheddar, roasted peppers and onions on Ciabatta with red pepper butter and bacon, served with pub chips and cole slaw, the Galway Bay Fish Pie, brought about in the meatless days of the war, a shepherd's pie without the meat, Irish Bacon and Cabbage, and the Irish Twins, two beef filet medallions atop a potato cake served in a mushroom and bacon sauce.

Before you head back to your Indianapolis apartment, make sure to grab some of their delicious desserts, which are, like everything else in the menu, undeniably Irish. Choose from the Baileys cheesecaake, made with real Baileys Irish Cream, the Warm and Tipsy Bread Pudding, a huge slice with apples, raisins and a whiskey cream sauce, St. Patrick's Frozen Irish Mudd Pie, mocha ice cream in a chocolate cookie crust coated with chocolate and caramel, the Caramel Whiskey Apple Crisp, topped with vanilla ice cream, and the "Brilliant" Brownie Hooley, vanilla ice cream layered with homemade fudge brownies, then covered in Guinness Irish caramel whiskey sauce.
