The exposed brick walls, antique photographs and dark-stained wood give Garrett Ripley's the feel of an old-fashioned bar. The menu features slightly upscale bar fare (chicken and brie sandwich, Cajun salmon sandwich), Irish faves (bangers and mash, fish and chips) and a hearty weekend brunch. In addition to the usual tap and bottled beer, there's an extensive martini list.
