Across the US, there’s no shortage of great pubs where you can enjoy delicious drinks and bites in a laid-back environment. Often, they’re more than just a watering hole; the best pubs offer welcoming atmospheres and intimate entertainment that you can only get at smaller establishments.
From a former Unitarian church to an Irish pub in New York, these amazing bars offer delicious food and drink paired with the kind of hospitality you can only find in America. The standard Tap in Philadelphia offers a huge range of beers including some exclusives, but it’s not just the liquid that brings people here – they also serve up killer pub grub like the cajun chicken Alfredo and Bang the Dragon (a pizza with teriyaki peanut sauce, chicken, pineapple and mozzarella).
McSorley’s Old Ale House in Philadelphia combines a rich history of beer drinking with traditional Irish food like fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding. The place is a historic landmark, having opened the same year that Abe Lincoln was elected president in 1860 and survived two pandemics and a fire.
The Tankard & Tun at Pike Brewing Company in Seattle is an American tavern with a strong Irish heritage. It’s a place where you can sample a great selection of craft beers and enjoy the fresh seafood, which includes raw Washington albacore loin and roasted duck breast. Similarly, Two Ten Jack in Nashville combines Japanese culinary traditions with American pub culture and is a top-rated spot for ramen, sashimi and sushi in an inviting setting.
