What is an Irish restaurant?

An Irish restaurant is an establishment that specializes in serving traditional Irish cuisine and beverages. These restaurants often feature classic dishes such as Irish stew, shepherd's pie, soda bread, and seafood chowder, as well as drinks like Irish whiskey and stout.
