LUCK OF THE IRISH
Your Irish eyes will definitely be smiling when you hit the newly relocated Irish Heather gastropub.
Admire the Waterford crystal chandelier upon entry, and note the wood floors made from barrel staves from the Guiness brewery. Turn down the hall, and behold the now-adjoining Salty Tongue Urban Deli, with its 40-person dining table and lunchtime take-out counter set against a soaring wall of brick and copper.
Tucked in the back, out the door and past the patio, is the new Shebeen whiskey bar, which now holds 60, and is a whimsical meeting of modern (sculptural red bar stools) and traditional (a round table made from ship-building molds).
And now that you've worked up an appetite, we recommend the Heather Pot Pie, a rich, steamy, plate of meat, mash and gravy that will make you wish for a winter of stormy nights and warm friends.
