Voice's Choices: St. Patrick's Day Snacks

McNellie’s // 409 E. 1st St. // 918-382-7468 // mcnellies.com

McNellie’s perfectly-portioned Irish lunch special is a great throwback to my time in Dublin living on soup, bread and beer. The generous bowl of potato leek soup with savory rye bread is satisfying and hearty but not too heavy. A small Guinness makes the experience complete without the guilt of day-drinking. At $5.50, this hot lunch is hard to beat. Served daily 11 a.m.-2 p.m. 

DAILY 11:00 a.m.-2:00 a.m.

Jameson’s Pub and Grill // 8921 S. Yale Ave // 918-921-3530

St. Patty’s day is for beer. But don’t forget to put a little food in your tummy before going all out! Jameson’s offers a variety of tasty bar snacks, and the chicken nachos ($8.99) and bacon-wrapped jalapeños ($7.49) are crowd favorites. Both of these generous appetizers are ready to sate your drunchies. 

DAILY 11 a.m.-2 a.m.

​Lôkal // 3308 S. Peoria Ave // 918-764-8783

Located next to Shades of Brown, Lôkal is one of Brookside’s new kids on the block. It boasts a decent selection of draft beer and a small but appetizing menu. For a sure bet, order the Lôkal Nachos with Guinness Irish Cheddar Sauce ($11). House-made potato chips and well-seasoned beef elevate this seemingly ordinary dish to an unusually tasty level.

MON-SUN 11 a.m.-2 a.m.

Kilkenny’s // 1413 E. 15th St. // 918-582-8282 // tulsairishpub.com

Kilkenny’s now offers its extensive menu till 1 a.m., but my favorite order is still the late-night $5 fish ‘n’ chips (it’s not on the menu, so just ask). Smaller than the full-priced monstrosity, it makes the perfect after-10 p.m. snack. It might never top the majesty of Dublin’s Leo Burdock and their baby-sized, ocean-fresh half-of-a-cod in a bag, shaken up with vinegar and half your body weight’s worth of chips—but it’s still the best I’ve had this side of the Atlantic. 

MON-FRI 11 a.m.-2 a.m.
SAT-SUN 9 a.m.-2 a.m
