Serve guests a menu mixed with classic dishes and a few surprises. The Irish Pub Cookbook is filled with hundreds of traditional foods. Start off with a beer-flavored appetizer, Mussels in Garlic and Guinness. If it's cold outside, serve everyone a hot bowl of Paddy Burke's Pepper Soup, and for the main course, Bacon and Cabbage, a perennial favorite.
