<strong>McNellie's Public House</strong>
Where: 409 E. First Street
<a href="http://www.mcnellies.com/"> McNellie's is home to one of the largest St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the city</a>, and it's also one of the top places in town to grab a bite of Irish nosh. Here are some of my favorite Irish-inspired items on the menu:
<ul>
	<li>The Irish Lunch Special, served with potato leek soup, a 12-ounce Guinness and bread for $5.50;</li>
	<li>St. Patty's Melt, with ground beef grilled with onions and topped with Swiss and American cheeses on marble rye for $8.49;</li>
	<li>Landlord's Cottage Pie, a casserole of chipped beef and mixed veggies in a beef sauce, topped with mashed potatoes and cheese, $10.99.</li>
</ul>
The side of Irish Mashed Potatoes and the Fish and Chips are pretty stellar, too. The beer special this month is Abita Amber, at $3.50 a pint.
