Raise a glass for Mill Avenue's new Irish pub; get ready for St. Patrick's Day
Robbie Fox's Public House, another new restaurant on Mill Avenue, recently opened. About 10 new businesses have opened on Mill Avenue in the last six months, with more coming soon. T-shirt shops, restaurants, boutiques and the like are popping up like spring flowers.
Guests will be able to see the famous, 130-year-old back bar that sort of saved the live of Irish activist Michael Collins. The bar was originally part of a pub named Phil Shanahan's, located on Foley Street in Dublin in the early 1900s.
Those staying for lunch or dinner will be able to sample some of the delicacies on their menu – cottage pie, a seafood pie with a luscious white sauce, fish and chips and maybe try the Robbie Fox sandwich …
Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman, members of the Tempe City Council and the downtown Tempe community will toast Mill Avenue’s latest restaurant on Tuesday, March 9 at 7 a.m.
The restaurant opened just in time for St. Patricks Day on March 17. Those who would like more Irish options for their holiday can visit Rula Bula just down the road or attend the St. Patrick's Day concert at Tempe Beach Park featuring Flogging Molly, the Keltic Cowboys, Metric and the Bollox.
