Restaurant - Deli, Irish, Sandwich, Breakfast, Brunch

An Beal Bocht is a true neighborhood hangout. It evolved from a coffee shop with scones into a cafe with Irish favorites like Irish Stew and Shepherds Pie and hearty sandwiches. Imported Irish foodstuffs are also available for purchase. Entertainment almost nightly starts at 9:30 pm and ranges from poetry to drama to acoustic music, and the place is as close to a real Irish pub as you can get without traveling to the Emerald Isle.

miss it everday
I miss the place every day since I moved from the 'hood. A great place. Very importantly: no TV's. Best Guiness, music and conversation. Open late and a great place to stop in for a drink or with a date. Sit at the bar and get quickly engaged in great converstation with a varied crowd. A lost art. The service is generally short, but don't take it the wrong way. They'll quickly warm up to you after sizing you up.

Closest thing to Irish in the states
This is not a "Disneyland" version of an Irish pub. It is the real thing: a home kitchen with a bar and always good music.

Cozy, Friendly, Fun
The Guinness is good as it gets, the music is downhome and fun, and they have a women's dart league! The Sheperd's Pie comes with a salad and is fabulous.

Good time, good food, real Irish.
Nice little "real Irish" place. Not like the many pubs in North Jersey and the Bronx where the only Irish thing about it is the name over the door. Music is great, Joe McKenna especially. I'll be "bocht" :>) to see Joe play again. Also, there's an amazing collection of signs and posters that must have taken years to bring over from Ireland.

Excellent Music
Excellent acoustic Irish music two weekends running. No cover but they pass the basket for the players. I didn't try the food, but the beer was definitely beer. I went for the music.
