Irish Restaurants in Peoria, Arizona

Irish Restaurants in Peoria, Arizona
Although Peoria, Arizona, may be known for its hiking trails and for being one of the homes of Major League baseball's spring training, Peoria offers a variety of authentic Irish restaurants and pubs. After a long day water skiing on Lake Pleasant, or mountain biking in any of the city's numerous parks, anyone looking for a cold draft beer or a piece of warm shepherd's pie will be happily surprised to find several Irish restaurants in town.

The Auld Dubliner

The Auld Dubliner is an Irish pub to the bone. Literally. All of the interior was specially hand crafted in Dublin, and only the finest materials from Ireland were used to build this restaurant and pub. The drink menu is equally impressive--Irish whiskey, draft beers and many specialty drinks like Irish coffee. They also serve traditional Irish food, such as corned beef and cabbage served with boiled red potatoes and topped with an Irish creme sauce, or baked shepherd's pie chock-full of lamb, ground beef, and vegetables like carrots and leeks. Another added touch is the live music played every Thursday, Friday and Saturday by local and touring Irish bands. The Auld Dubliner will truly make you feel like you're in a small pub in rural Ireland.

Lis Doon Varna

Lis Doon Varna, built in Ireland and shipped out to Peoria, carries on traditions from the small town it was named after--from a matchmaking bar to live music. Enjoy traditional Irish food like boxty, flaky Guinness pastry, or its famous bread pudding, along with pub favorites with a twist, like Guinness and barbecue chicken wings or Irish cobb salad prepared with many traditional ingredients, as well as red potatoes and Irish bacon known as "rashers." If you are looking for something to wash down your meal, Lis Doon Varna serves three different Irish beers, including Smithwick's, along with 12 other varieties from different parts of the world, like Boddington's from England and Hoegaarden from Belgium. It also has a complete wine list that would make any sommelier happy.
