The Irish Inn at Glen Echo

A couple years ago we discovered the city of Glen Echo when we went to visit Clara Barton's house. Two of my portraits were displayed there as part of the 100 year anniversary. There is also a park there with an arts vibe and a working carousel. When we passed by this Irish Inn back then, one of our friends mentioned he had been to this place and liked the atmosphere and the shepherd's pie. As it was a day to have lunch, I thought of this place, so we decided to take a ride through the Palisades and give it a try. And it was worth it. Upon entry it reminded us of the many pubs and such in England. To the left was the bar entry, and to the right was the dining room entry. We ended up upstairs in a more private space, but I think we would have preferred a table in the bar! The fish and chips were good as was the shepherd's pie.  They have a more extensive dinner menu with the same items plus more. The only negative thing we have to say was the bread was good but not to our taste, and the parking lot was very full and difficult to maneuver in because it was full! I'm glad I remembered this inn - it was a great ride, a cozy and clean place, the food was good, and we enjoyed it. What else would you want?
