Not all great burgers are made from beef. This boisterous Irish pub with four bars and as many dining areas serves a flavorful, loosely packed lamb burger with gutsy garlic-herb mayo—it’s called the Kirwan. Also worth a try on a menu that has its ups and downs: a spoon-licking-good crème brûlée in an offbeat flavor, a combination of raspberry and Baileys Irish Cream.
