The Irish

Serving tales and ales for more than 170 years, The Irish on Brisbane Street is a friendly, local Launceston hang out. With an authentic Celtic pub ambiance of dark wood, exposed brick, comfy couches and a fireplace to warm the soul on chilly Tassie days, this happily buzzing venue offers live music seven nights a week to entertain diners, as they ponder a Mod Oz menu teamed with Irish favourites. Take a seat in Shamrocks Restaurant under hanging globes casting a golden glow and tuck into a beef and Guinness pie with roasted vegetables and whipped potato, or delve into wood fired pork belly with baked apple, cherry tomatoes, steamed broccoli and red wine jus. Those with a craving for barbeque beef ribs can chow down on finger-licking morsels, teamed with slaw, corn and beer battered chips.
