When you think of St. Patrick's Day and Irish pubs, Texas is probably not the first place that comes to mind. However, parts of Texas are greatly influenced by western Europe. We did some internet digging, and found a few of the best Irish pubs across the Lone Star State!
1. Austin: Fado Irish Pub
This pub has been described as "authentic" by people who are familiar with Ireland's culture, and is Irish owned and operated. Fado's offers live music, a full Irish breakfast, a traditional design to make visitors feel as though they are in Dublin, and of course, plenty of drinks at the bar.
2. Dallas: Trinity Hall Irish Pub
Located in Mockingbird Station, this is probably one of the most well-known pubs in Dallas. Trinity Hall Irish Pub offers over 250 beers, traditional Irish music, soccer and rugby game viewings and a great atmosphere.
3. San Antonio: Kennedy's Public House
Often called a "friendly neighborhood bar," Kennedy's serves great wings, 16 beers on tap and is pet-friendly!
4. Houston: Irish Pub Kenneally's
Voted the #1 best Irish Pub by Houston A-list, this neighborhood bar has been around since the '80s and is best known for its Chicago style pizza.
5. Dallas: The Dubliner Irish Pub
This is Dallas' longest standing Irish Pub and was founded by a Dublin native. The Dubliner has a great bar staff and is often noted as "welcoming."
