Nine Irish Brothers

All of the traditional pubby bites make an appearance on the Lafayette-based chain’s lengthy menu, including corned beef and cabbage, bangers and mash, and a jumbo platter of fish and chips that begs for its own bottle of malt vinegar. If you just want something to nibble as you sip your Bushmills-laced coffee or work your way though a whiskey flight, smaller plates—like  mussels in garlic-cream sauce, or field greens topped with raspberry vinaigrette and fried balls of goat cheese that you crush  into the  salad—are worthy distractions from the flat-screen TVs. Lunch and dinner daily.
