Irish food gets a bad
rap. Okay, so some of it is kinda watery and boiled, but for the most
part, it's hearty and stick-to-your-ribs good. St. Dymphna's (the
patron Saint of the mentally ill) serves up good American/Irish comfort
food in a smallish space with wooden tables that mimics old-school
Irish shanty-type joints. Surround that Irish stew with several pints
of Guinness and you'll have yourself a pretty good time. The clientele
seems to be mostly locals and Irish relatives of the bartender. Even
the bar's yellow exterior exudes friendliness and good times. If you
tend to shy away from drunken louts breaking into warbling renditions
of Irish Eyes Are Smiling or Danny Boy at 3:00 AM, you may want to
waddle your ass over T.G.I. Friday's, but if you like a little authenticity
in your life, come on down to the place where even the craziest people
are blessed. [MF]
