restaurant of the month Restaurant of the Month: Hagan O’Reilly’s Only short drive from downtown WG and just off State Road 545 (Avalon Rd.), you can grab a taste of authentic Irish fare at Hagan O’Reilly’s Pub. Owner David Miller recreated an authentic Irish pub in the spirit of one run by his grandfather. The local restaurant’s heritage is linked to the Hagans, Cassidys, O’Reillys and the Egans -- if you’ve ever had the chance to travel through Ireland, you may have seen one or two pubs with these family names on it. In addition to having a large bar and dining area, there are cozy rooms and private nooks throughout the pub designed for festive or romantic occasions, or for a more private small group dining experience. There is also a large outdoor patio area with a large bar, a cigar area, five large screens, and pool tables and dart boards. The cigar area offers a wide selection of the finest cigars, and servers will gladly recommend the best cigar pairings with your favorite drink. On the menu you’ll find traditional favorites such as Shepherd’s Pie, Irish Stew, Fish & Chips, and Bangers and Mash. Their Pubinspired menu also showcases a great selection of burgers, wings and a variety of appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts. A couple of our favorites are the Potato & Beef Croquettes, Loaded Tater Tots, and Uncle Patricks Bread Pudding. On Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays (from 5:30-9:30pm only), Hagan’s offers a fresh raw seafood bar with tons of oysters, crab, and shrimp, each available prepared in a variety of ways. Happy Hour runs from 11am - 7pm and features great drink and shot specials. Hagan O’Reilly’s is located at 16112 Marsh Road and is open daily from 11am - 2am. Go and enjoy some 'Good Craic' (good times) with the great gang over at Hagan’s anytime. 32  |  Winter Garden Magazine  |  march 2015
