You won't see any of the bric-a-brac typically found in Irish pubs at this Lincoln Square hang. The Irish-born owners ditch the shamrocks and shillelaghs in favor of a more cosmopolitan atmosphere with black-and-white photos, couches and banquettes. Dark wood finishes and a fireplace add to the cozy feel. An Irish-American menu features everything from fish and chips to steak sandwiches.
