AN IRISH-AMERICAN TWIST



The Yard House makes celebrating St. Patrick’s Day easy and fun in OC. A festive three-day menu is being offered Friday through Sunday.

And The Yard House also supplies a vast array of ales, lagers, (even green-tinted holiday libations) and piped in contemporary Irish music to make it a memorable event. Listen to hits (played on their state of the art sound system) from U2, Sinead O’Connor, Van Morrison, the Cranberries, and other Irish artists, while sipping an Irish Coffee made with Bushmills or Jameson Irish Whiskey with a dollop of whipped cream; or the Berry Irish Martini, features Skyy Berry Vodka, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Dekuyper Razzmatazz and half & half.

Award-winning executive chef Carlito Jocson created an Irish-inspired menu, adding Guinness to enhance some traditional dishes just for St. Patty's Day revelers. There's corned beef brisket braised in Irish beer with boiled red potatoes and cabbage ($15.95); Shepherd's pie with a twist, Guinness-stewed beef sirloin and roasted garlic mashed potatoes encased in a puff pastry ($14.95); and a grilled corned beef sandwich with melted Swiss cheese and roasted garlic aioli served on toasted French bread and a stack of French fries ($9.95).

And for those wanting favorites from the Yard House's American fusion cuisine, the 100-plus item menu will also be available. The Yard House is a perennial favorite for lunch, dinner and late-night dining in OC. And some say it offers the world's largest selection of draft beer.
