Mother Egan's Irish Pub

Mother Egan's is a neighborhood pub, the way most pubs in Ireland are, meaning the wood's dark, the snugs are cozy and people stop in for a casual drink on Saturday (or Tuesday or Monday) afternoons. Plus, they seem to have the hang of pouring a proper pint of Guinness. Granted, the heads aren't quite as rich or thick as the ones you'll find in the Stag's Head, but they're pretty good nonetheless -- as are the popular fish and chips and shepherd's pie.-- Moira Muldoon, AA-S
