Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant

Location

Disney Springs in The Landing

Selections

Roasted loin of ham with cabbage and mashed potatoes, beer-battered fish-and-chips, a very froufrou but yummy Shepherd's Pie, chicken-and-wild-mushroom pie. The must-have appetizer is the Dalkey Duo: batter-fried cocktail sausages with a mustard dipping sauce.

Summary

A night in a good Irish pub, Raglan Road included, is a joyous and uplifting experience. As the Irish say, it’ll set you right up. A quick fish-and-chips can be had around the corner at Cookes of Dublin if you’re in a hurry.

Setting and Atmosphere

Many elements of this pub, including the bars (there are four), were handcrafted from hardwoods in Ireland and sent to the United States for reassembly (“lock, stock, and beer barrel,” as the website advises). The venue is huge by Irish-pub standards, but the dark polished-wood paneling, as well as the snugs (small, private cubbyholes), preserves the feel of the traditional pub. The pentagonal main room sits beneath an impressive but very unpublike dome. In the middle of the room is a tall, tablelike platform accessible to Celtic dancers via a permanently attached short staircase. A modest bandstand is situated along the wall in front of a large pseudo-hearth. Branching from the cavernous domed center room are cozy dining areas and snugs.

House Specialties

While you could order a burger, we recommend branching out and trying something different—say, Worth the Wait beef sandwich (12-hour braised beef with mushrooms, onions, and cheese). And of course, beer-battered fish-and-chips.

Other Recommendations

Though you could consider a great selection of Irish lagers and stouts an amenity, the real draw here is the Celtic music. A talented band plays daily. Starting in the early evening with a couple of superb acoustic sets, the band sets up as the diners filter out and the pub crawlers settle in. A Celtic dancer wanders in and dances on the aforementioned table to some of the numbers. (Think Riverdance, not stripper pole.)
