Irish for "the poor mouth" (also the title of a novel by the great Flann O'Brien), An Béal Bocht is a gathering place for Irish-American art and theater communities. Decor depicts literary heroes like James Joyce and comfort foods abound on the lengthy menu, which stars bangers and mash, a classic shepherd’s pie and beef stew. Don’t let its name confuse you: any night until 2am, you can settle in with a nice pint, some wine or a tipple of stronger stuff.
The vibe: Inviting especially for the well-read.
The food: Classic Irish.
The drink: Pints, wine and cocktails.
