Great restaurant and bar. Hannegan's is a great after work stop or a good place to kick off your night on the town. The St. Patricks day celebration shouldn't be missed. Buy your tickets early. It's worth it.

An Irish motif, boisterous crowds, lively staff and vast beer and whiskey selections equal decades of success.. The Scene
The carpet is green, the bar wood-lined, and the whiskey prominently displayed. The walls are splattered with photo collages of crazy patrons, staff and the two original owners--Chris Benson and John Hannegan. The mellow groups of locals, business folks and dot-commers cram the bar early on, but the scene turns into more of a 20-something pickup scene as the night wears on.

The Draw
Though it caters to a beer-swilling crowd (Bass, Harp, Redhook, Newcastle, Guinness, Murphy's, Wyder's, Amstel, Pyramid, Sierra Nevada, Samuel Adams and Gordon Biersch are all on tap), true aficionados will want to explore the vast whiskey selection, single-malt Scotch being the house specialty. Fish and chips, shepherd's pie and corned beef and cabbage sit side by side on the menu with sandwiches, pizza, appetizers and barbecue.
