Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH This Irish spot provides three times the fun! TRINITY • THREE IRISH PUBS is exactly that – a trio of connected restaurant/bars at 125 E. Juneau Ave. Visit Foy's, Gallagher's and Duffy's and you will find three distinct pubs. Each has its own unique environment that mirrors a particular kind of pub you might visit in Ireland. Trinity opens its doors every day during the workweek at 11 a.m. and at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday for Irish Brunch. Foy's décor includes framed prints, dark wood- work, and stained glass with Celtic symbols. A four- sided bar is at the center of Foy's, with comfy booths arranged around it. Settle in here, and you may never want to leave! Signposts in the corner spell out information in English and the Irish language (Gaeilge)…just as you would see in Ireland. A hallway connects the middle pub, Gallagher's, to the other two pubs. The walls of the hallway recall the artfully stacked "dry stone masonry" that is a treasured memory for every visitor to Ireland. Gallagher's is the spot for live music. Unique to Gallagher's is the Jameson Bar, sporting rows of bot- tles of the famed Irish whiskey. 58 Step into Duffy's and you'll swear you've been transported to the Emerald Isle. This intimate space, with bookshelves filled with leather volumes and a corner fireplace, has a patina that seems decades old. The patio dining season is over for a few months in Milwaukee. But the patio's gorgeous stone walls still greet visitors to Trinity • Three Irish Pubs. The building's colorful, painted exterior and the Celtic- style lettering on the signs transform the corner of Juneau Avenue and Edison Street into a Dublin intersection. The regular menu at Trinity • Three Irish Pubs fea- tures dishes that highlight classic Irish ingredients like Guinness Stout and smoked salmon. Other menu items might be featured at a pub in Ireland, shepard's pie and fish and chips. That staple of U.S. celebrations of St. Patrick's Day (corned beef) has been creatively incorporated into a number of dish- es. Sample it in Reuben rolls, and Sham's Irish nachos. The nachos pile thick cut homemade potato chips with cheddar cheese, corned beef, scallions and Thousand Island sour cream sauce. Salads include a grilled chicken Caesar and straw- berry pecan salad. The sandwich board features a stacked club, Pot Roast Sandwich, Molly's Chicken Sandwich, new Turkey Dubliner and pub cheese- burger.
