Editorial Review of Poag Mahone's

photo: Clifton Henri

As for those legendary burgers, well, there's a story there, too: The bar's founder wound up working at a pub (that he would later buy) in the first place because he'd broken a leg and was unable to continue working at the Union Stockyards. Putting his knowledge of cutting and grinding to use, he instated a burger menu that's still going strong. Order the traditional 9-ounce and pile on free fixin's like raw onion and 1,000 island dressing.

Other options include a hot turkey breast sandwich or, on the greener side, an Italian Garbage Salad stocked with shrimp, artichoke hearts, radishes and roasted peppers. The Irish Bread Pudding comes with a whiskey sauce "so good we have to card you for it." Share-with-buddy drink specials include Wednesday's bucket of five domestic beers for $15.

Average cost: $10-$20
