#PiperDownPub is a place I’ve visited a lot. Having lived in Ireland for a couple years I enjoy the ambience of the pub and enjoy the food and drink. Including Guinness on tap. While the food is excellent it’s still not the same as the Emerald Isle versions. So here’s a list of some of the dishes and drinks I’ve enjoyed. You can’t go wrong with any of them. #ScotchEggs Hard-boiled eggs, hand wrapped in ground sausage, breaded and deep-fried. Served with Guinness mustard. The mustard is fantastic. I really enjoy this appetizer and it’s easier to get then asking for my sister to make hers, which are my favorite. #PiperWings 10 jumbo wings tossed in buffalo, angry Korean, spicy bourbon, teriyaki, BBQ, honey sriracha, honey mustard, or cajun dry rub. Served with carrots, celery, and ranch or blue cheese. The Angry Korean sauce is great, spicy, savory, sweet, and yummy. #FriedPickles Beer-battered Mount Olive dill pickles with Guinness mustard sauce. Again the sauce is amazing. And it’s an appetizer I can’t get at home. The Beer Battered #OnionRings are great. The beer batter is the best way to enjoy onion rings. The #Pretzel is fun, hanging from a high wire sculpture, you rip off a piece and dip it in the lovely Guinness Mustard sauce. The #GalwayGrilledCheese sandwich is amazing. Corned beef, caramelized onions, cheddar & Swiss, aioli, and Guinness mustard on grilled sourdough. One of my favorite sandwiches from Piper Down. Their burgers are 1/3 pound fresh ground 100% Wagyu Beef on brioche with lettuce, tomato, onion, and aioli. Served with fries and a pickle spear. You can Substitute mixed green salad, onion rings, or sweet potato waffle fries or even Poutine, or cheese fries. I have a fondness for Poutine. I often get it when I see it, if I’m not getting Onion rings. I’ve enjoyed the #GarlicMushroomSwissBurger with Sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and Swiss cheese. Yumm. #ShepherdsPie made with Sirloin, onions, peas, and carrots simmered in a Guinness-based beef broth topped with mashed potatoes and cheddar & jack is very good. While not a true shepherds pie because it’s made with beef not lamb. Beef pie is called Cottage Pie in Ireland and UK Shepherds Pie is made with lamb, but most Americans don’t know the difference. Anyways Pipers is really good with nice crispy cheese on top. #BangersAndMash is Guinness braised sausages served on a pile of mashed potatoes, topped with brown gravy and caramelized onion. Is a great take on an English dish. I love gravy and sausage in any form. The #FishAndChips have been excellent at times. It’s a Half-pound of hand-cut wild Alaskan cod, beer-battered per order and Served with American style English chips, fresh lemon, tartar sauce, and coleslaw. While I make the best #IrishStew I’m not always wanting to be put out and make it so I will often get the #IrishStewDinner Mashed potatoes smothered in their famous Irish beef stew. Served with grilled sourdough. A very tasty version and I didn’t have to cook. Some of the tasty drinks include #AutumnMuleCocktail Absolut Pears, St. Elder, Cranberry, Ginger Beer. Love the Pear flavor, nice and sweet. #GuinnessLatteCocktail Jameson Cold Brew, Chapala Coffee Liqueur, Guinness, Half and Half. kind of a fun White Russian or Guinness shake. #RumPunch Cocktail Bacardi Superior Rum, Cruzan Mango Rum, Cranberry Juice, Lime. A Refreshing sweet drink. #DarkNStormyCocktail Fever Tree Ginger Beer w/ a Float of Kraken. #GaelicStormCocktail Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey, Ginger Beer, Bitters and Fresh Lemon served in a Collins glass. Can really taste the Whiskey version versus rum in others. #MoroccanCoffeeCocktail Kahlua, 151, Irish Cream and Coffee. Topped with St. Brendan’s Irish Cream Infused Whipped Cream. Nice and strong, Stronger than Irish coffee. A nice citrusy #TequilaSunrise Cocktail Tequila, Orange Juice and a Splash of Grenadine. And of course last but not least the #GuinessDraught (nitro) on tap. So much good food, drinks, and wonderful service at Piper Down an Olde world Pub.
