DARCY’S DONKEY https://www.darcysdonkey.com/
Located on Barton Springs Rd, Darcy’s Donkey has a wide selection of Irish, Scottish & American whiskeys along with a superior Irish menu. The main heart of the restaurant is on potatoes, traditional Irish meat pies, beer and whiskey. Once inside, you’ll get a cozy, comfy feeling with its wood paneled interior resembling those authentic Irish pubs.
