Restaurants serving corned beef and cabbage near me

A hearty Irish stew with crusty soda bread, colcannon and maybe a few boxty with thick bacon are traditional dishes served in Ireland, but in America, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations almost always include corned beef and cabbage. Shepherd’s pie might be on the menu as well as bangers and mash, and pair them all with an Irish stout. Here are some ideas on where to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day this March 17. And this year, you can enjoy and help our local restaurants during this pandemic downturn. This is by no means a comprehensive list of what the area's restaurants have to offer. We’ll be adding to this as we get more information so please email if you have an addition and we will update. Sláinte!
