Irish in St. Louis

On the ground floor of the Hampton Inn downtown lies Irish pub Tigín. The pub, decked in wood, includes several small, separate rooms for diners and football fans. The modest beer selection includes the usual suspects at Irish pubs (Harp, Guinness), while the whiskey menu offers standards and a few higher-end choices (Middleton Very Rare). The menu highlights Irish fare, from the Irish breakfast (served all day) - which includes Irish sausages, rashers, black and white pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes and pan-fried potato bread - to corned beef and cabbage, and even has some unexpected choices (the boxty quesadilla, an Irish twist on the Mexican classic, with potato pancakes serving as the tortilla).
