It’s not hard to find an Irish bar, but it is hard to find a great one. Once you walk into Paddy’s Loft, it becomes clear why it was named one of the Best Irish Bars on LI—it’s like being transported to the Emerald Isle. It doesn’t hurt that the owners also have three establishments in the homeland. Don’t expect typical pub fare here, either. Part restaurant, the full menu includes both American cuisine and Irish favorites, like Shepherd’s Pie, Bangers and Mash and Lamb Stew. You can even take home a loaf of their Irish Soda Bread.
