Fish and Chips

The pub standard — battered white fish with thick-cut fries, a reliable version of the classic that holds up well as a pub anchor

Shepherd's Pie

Hearty ground lamb and vegetable filling under a thick mashed potato crust, the kind of stick-to-your-ribs dish Irish pubs do best

Corned Beef and Cabbage

A pub staple done simply and honestly — tender slow-cooked beef with cabbage and root vegetables

Guinness

A properly poured pint with the requisite two-stage pull — one of the few things an Irish pub absolutely cannot get wrong
