$25 for $50 Worth of Irish Pub Fare at The Druid
Like a classic work of Victorian literature, a trip to a pub often begins with an introduction to colourful characters and ends with the revelation that everyone in the room is related to each other. Continue an age-old struggle with today’s Groupon: for , you get worth of Irish pub fare at The Druid.
The Druid harbours a lively and authentic pub atmosphere with hearty fare, live-music sessions, and festive gatherings enlivened with Irish step dancing and emerald regalia. Dark wood panelling and gothic arches adorn the bar, and cozy round tables dot the dining room, where diners can improvise limericks about Galway Bay mussels () and buffalo-chicken sliders (). The full pub menu plates traditional staples alongside modern twists, including a poutine burger with cheese curds and gravy () and the dubliner fish ‘n’ chips ( for a one-piece meal, for a two-piece), which is battered in Harp Irish Lager.
Our customers loved this deal last year, earning The Druid a spot on Groupon’s Best of 2011 list.
