Fill up on the flavors of an Irish dinner at McNamara’s in Nashville.

For the real Irish pub experience, though, this is the place where you can find all the good stuff on the menu. Our favorites are the steak and Guinness pie, bangers and mash, and on weekends for brunch (they open at 11am), nothing beats their full Irish breakfast. The full Irish breakfast is two eggs, Irish sausage, rashers (bacon), black and white pudding, Heinz beans, grilled tomato, and brown bread. It will keep you full and keep you going all day!

Naturally, the drinks are authentically Irish, too, with beers on draft such as Guinness, Harp, Bass, and the extremely popular Smithwicks & Magners Cider. They also have every Irish whiskey available in our area.

If you’re looking for pubs in Hermitage and Nashville that will give you an authentic Irish cuisine experience, then McNamara’s is the place to be. Come check it out this weekend with a friend or a group of friends from our Nashville apartments!
