In our never-ending quest to find the perfect sports bar hangout, Ron and I visited the Irish Times Pub and Restaurant in Turkey Creek today. Since it was an Irish Pub, we tried to stay true to the theme and ordered a Smithwick’s (Smit-icks), which is the second most popular beer in Ireland. Naturally, Guinness is the most popular, but we have graduated to level – yet!
The “Smit-icks” was good going down, but left a sort of dry after taste. For the food round, I
went back to Bass Ale!The food? Wonderful! No complaints here from either one of us. In fact, our selections beat out our old standby – Bailey’s!
Ron chose the Irish Fish Sandwich - Mahi mahi served blackened or grilled on a roll with lettuce, tomato, and onion. He said, "This is better than the fish sandwich as Bailey’s."
I chose the Corned Beef & Swiss Sandwich - Home cooked, thinly sliced corned beef with Swiss cheese on grilled rye bread. Served with fries or slaw. It was absolutely the best “corned beef” I have ever eaten!
However, as a sports bar, Bailey’s wins hands down! There were 4 TVs, all flush mounted on the walls and hard to see from all angles. The upscale feel is not a place to hangout and leisurely enjoy several hours of sports, chips (which they don’t have), and drafts.
I will go back for more “corned beef” sometime soon.

Man, I can't STAND corned beef. Something about it makes me gag.
I totally love corned beef but frankly Mushy that sandwich looks a little light...maybe its the angle...
Doggy - Might be because I ordered from the lunch menu...the dinner size is most likely larger, but I was full when finished as it was!
FHB - must have gotten some bad beef...mad cow maybe!
I dunno, I think I remember it tasting uncooked. Lots of pepper and raw. Yuk!

They have chips. They're known as French Fries in the States, and fries are on the menu.
