Irish eyes are sure to smile at Austin’s authentic Irish locales:
• Visit Kelly’s Irish Pub (519 West Oltorf St.) for traditional Irish fare including bangers and mash, Dubliner burgers and shep bites – marvelous mouthfuls of Guinness-braised lamb and rice.
• Authenticity abounds at B.D. Rileys (1905 Aldrich St.), where plates are brimming with corned beef, shepherd’s pie and a full Irish breakfast – boasting eggs, rashers, bangers, black and white puddings, grilled tomato, mushrooms and toasted homemade soda bread.
• Stop in at The Dead Rabbit (204 E. 6th Street) for their signature Irish Coffee, pints and more.
