Here are five Irish pubs that go beyond green décor to offer you an authentic and immersive experience in Irish hospitality, music, food and drink. Slainte!

THE AULD DUBLINER

Located in Downtown Long Beach, The Auld Dubliner (71 S Pine Ave) is a true Dublin transplant, having been imported, piece-by-piece, from Ireland. Its cozy wooden interior, Gaelic signage and live Irish music (on weekends) transports patrons across the Atlantic. Guinness is expertly poured, shepherd’s pie and fish and chips are standout dishes, and the whiskey collection is one of the largest in California.

K.C. BRANAGHAN’S

K.C. Branaghan’s (5734 E 2nd St), located in Naples, features Irish favorites like corned beef sandwiches, shepherd’s pie, and rich, savory Irish stew, alongside modern options like a house-made veggie burger. Behind the bar, you’ll find a well-rounded selection of Irish whiskeys, properly poured Guinness, and creative cocktails including their signature Pancake Breakfast Shot–Jameson Whiskey and Butterscotch Schnapps chased with a shot of OJ and a bit of bacon. Good morning!

SHENANIGANS IRISH PUB & GRILLE

Offering exceptional waterfront views from Shoreline Village, Shenanigans Irish Pub & Grille (423 Shoreline Village Dr) balances Irish cheer with laidback waterfront vibes. The pub offers 16 TVs, live music on weekends and a dog‑friendly patio. Its hearty menu—corned beef and cabbage, Irish nachos–and robust draught selections complement a lively, welcoming atmosphere, whether you're watching a game or enjoying the harbor breeze.

MURPHY’S PUB AT THE BELMONT

This laidback gem is located above Belmont Athletic Club, providing plenty of great people watching over the popular shopping/dining district below. Murphy’s Pub (4918 2nd St) has an unpretentious vibe and features hearty pub fare like fish and chips, burgers and shareable apps. Its beer choices include, of course, Guinness, but also a rotating menu of local and imported beers and a strong Irish whiskey lineup. Regulars love the “Hall of Hops,” a beer passport challenge featuring 75-plus brews.

GALLAGHER’S PUB & GRILL

Gallagher’s Pub & Grill (2751 E Broadway) offers classic Irish fare like bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, and Irish-style fish & chips, along with pub favorites such as burgers, wings, and loaded fries. The bar features a strong lineup of beers on tap—including a perfectly poured pint of Guinness—plus Irish whiskeys and creative cocktails, while the Irish memorabilia and large TV screens broadcasting games from all over create an immersive sports pub feel.
