16 Irish Pub Recipes (2024)

Irish Stew

"Followed the recipe to a T—turned out great, I didn't think it would be spiced enough, but the rosemary really helps. Paired this with the Irish Brown Soda Bread...for an Irish dinner." —MEGLANGFORD

Beef and Guinness Stew

"This Guinness beef stew is a very simple dish, but at the same time, it has a deep, complex, rich flavor. The maltiness of dark beer really does amazing things for the gravy." —John Mitzewich

Beef, Mushroom, and Guinness Pie

"I made this for St. Patty's Day. My husband and I thought it was excellent. It certainly takes awhile to cook, but the filling is delicious. I used Guinness Extra Stout and was afraid it might make it a bit bitter, but the result was fantastic. Extras are already packed up for lunch tomorrow!" —bellarosa

Steak and Irish Stout Pie

"This delicious Irish steak and stout pie is a meal that may provoke your guests into licking the pie dish clean." —Michael St Laurent

Stout-Braised Lamb Shanks

"I made this for my mother-in-law this past weekend, because she loves lamb shanks...and Guiness. It was a tremendous hit! I served it with cheesy polenta, also from this site, and it was definitely an excellent combination." —reddelicious

Dublin Coddle (Irish Sausage and Potato Stew)

"My family LOVED this stew! I did add carrots because we all love them. I served it with fresh pumpernickel and Irish soda bread slathered in butter. This stew is definitely going into the regular dinner rotation!" —Allrecipes Member

Irish Shepherd's Pie

"This Irish shepherd's pie is a lovely alternative to the much more common corned beef and cabbage you may have been planning for St. Patrick's Day dinner." —John Mitzewich

Potato and Leek Soup

"It's bonfire night here in England (Guy Falkes night) and there was a firework display in the park next to my house. So I made this up with my hubby's home grown veggies to eat outside whilst we watched the fireworks. Wow! It was absolutely fabulous...It went really well with my freshly baked crusty bread. This is a definite keeper." —Poldweia

Irish Bacon and Cabbage Soup

"This Irish soup with bacon, potatoes, tomatoes, and cabbage is a wonderfully simple chunky soup. I use good quality Irish back bacon but if you can't get this, it tastes equally good made with pancetta. The dark green color of the cabbage alongside the tomatoes gives the soup a beautiful color." —Ita

Colcannon

"I was a bit scared of this, because although I had heard it was great and was very curious, it just seemed odd. Slimy cabbage mucking up mashed potatoes? However, I had nothing to fear, it was delicious." —PAGANANGEL

Irish Champ

"Irish champ is similar to colcannon but is made by blending green onions or scallions with creamy mashed potatoes. It's great on its own, served steaming hot with extra butter on top, but it's also a perfect side dish for good quality sausages." —Ita

Irish Boxty

"My dad made these every Sunday morning to take to the Irish American club in Cleveland, Ohio. He would make them using 10 lbs of potatoes! The club members would always look forward to Bernie Curley's Sunday morning Boxty!" —Michelle Hencye

Guinness Bread

"This bread is AMAZING. A little sweeter than you may expect, almost cake-like, but really good, and I love that it uses wheat flour and oats. I took it to our a St. Paddy's potluck and it vanished." —Dawn Beasley Macke

Classic Fish and Chips

"I love this! My husband loves it. Easy-to-follow directions. Have been looking for a good-tasting Fish & Chips recipe. Now I can stop. Will absolutely be making this again." —TSaen

Seafood Pot Pie

"This pot pie is loaded with tons of beautiful seafood perfect for special occasions for people you love. You can adjust the type and quantity of the seafood in this to suit your tastes, and preferences." —Karen Rankin

True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

"Amazingly delicious! My family raved about this meal that is full of flavor from every angle. I used Johnsonville Brats and 3 lbs red potatoes unpeeled. Although the gravy is thin it is very rich and soaks into the potatoes in a delightful way!" —Savory Susan
