Was it the luck of the Irish that Rosie O’Grady’s won so many Readers’ Choice awards? Could be, but most likely it’s because they have the tastiest Fish & Chips that go best with a smooth draft beer. Couple that with their nightly specials and activities, and Rosie O’Grady's makes the perfect spot to call your neighborhood sports bar.
