Amalga-fuse—ingredients traditional Irish pub and craft beer bar—from The Good Life owner and also-Grecian Peter Mangouranes. In-house nitrogen creation and on-premise gas blending for Guinness (raison d’être: ensures proper pressure levels), which inhabits a separate tower.

Cannon’s Blackthorn
(516) 594-1222, Rockville Centre

Authentic Irish grandparentdecor, with hand-crafted snugs and other wood furniture imported directly from the ol’ country. I think Edward Burns in Ash Wednesday, which thinks Hell’s Kitchen in 1983.

“Oh, they have such cute burgers at Reese’s!” often exclaims Momma Krommydas spunk-voiced, like a Marge Simpson-Edith Bunker larynx marriage. Cringe. Kidding. But she is correct in her meat-pretty assessment; them burgers so cute!

Buckley’s Inn Between

Leinster-owned and operated in Hampton Bays, but not the Snooki, “gorilla juicehead” Bays; these Bays fist-pump to Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) events.
