When is St. Patrick’s Day? Here’s why we celebrate the holiday
Who was Saint Patrick and why do we celebrate him? Here’s what to know about St. Patrick’s Day.
- This article provides a list of Irish dishes and where to find them in central Ohio.
- Many of the dishes can be found at Irish pubs such as McClellan’s Pub, Fado, Dempsey’s Food & Spirits, Flanagan’s Irish Pub and Byrne’s Pub.
You can find them on menus around central Ohio any time of the year, but there’s something about this time of year — hmm, what could it be? — that gets people in the mood for traditional Irish food.
We’re not talking Shamrock Shakes, mind you. We’re not even talking about Reuben sandwiches, delicious as they might be.
We’re talking about corned beef and cabbage, bangers and mash, fish and chips and other Irish food.
Here are some of the most Irish dishes around with suggestions for places to get your fix.
Irish breakfast
McClellan’s Pub: It’s a side of beans away from a full Irish, but McClellan’s Irish breakfast comes awfully close. It includes two eggs, bangers, sausage patties, bacon, hash browns, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast. The Irish breakfast is on the menu all day, too.

Shepherd’s pie
Fado: Although the Irish version of shepherd’s pie is made with lamb instead of ground beef, Fadó takes a different route to Emerald Isle authenticity. It uses colcannon — a traditional Irish mix of mashed potatoes and cabbage — to top a base of ground beef and vegetables in a rich sauce.
