Irish Bred Pub

The Cool Factor

Legendary country music crooner Hank Williams got his start in the capital city and frequented many Montgomery restaurants. He was known to often write songs while sitting at the lunch counter in Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue.
If you’re not from around here, some of the lingo you’ll read and hear at area restaurants may be confusing. Here’s a little dictionary to help decipher Southern food speak.
Meat & Three: Usually refers to more casual “home cooking” spots and means the menu offers a plate with your choice of one meat (fried chicken, country fried steak, fried catfish — sensing a pattern here?) and three sides, usually Southern-style vegetables like fried okra, fried green tomatoes, squash casserole, creamed corn, collard greens (see definition below) and more. Often served with cornbread or biscuit.
Sweet Tea: The default setting when you order a glass of iced-tea down here. And sweet means S-W-E-E-T. Specify “unsweet” if you don’t want any sugar. Or ask for half-and-half for just a little sweetness.

You too can experience the “the luck of the Irish” no matter your family origins at the Irish Bred Pub downtown. In a cozy, old-world atmosphere reminiscent of the Emerald Isle’s classic pubs, enjoy the signature dish Dexter Avenue Mahi Mahi, sautéed fresh fish finished with a roasted red pepper sauce. At lunch, Irish Bred Pub offers a Southern-style “meat-N-three,” but the full menu has traditional Irish favorites like crab boxty, fish and chips and shepherd’s pie.
