Another Raglan Road Review
Raglan Road, downtown Kansas City’s newest Irish pub, recently had yet another review in the Kansas City Star.
I was in rural Ireland at the time with difficulties connecting online so I didn’t bring it to your attention, but I’ll do so now that I’m back in super-powered broadband-enabled Dublin.
That said, if the reviews become that frequent that they’re no longer news then I’m unlikely to continue.
In an article in the Kansas City Star Lauren Chapin outlines two recent visits to Raglan Road, one in the company of an Irish-born friend, and the other with “a gaggle of third-generation Irish folks and some Irish wannabes”.
The visit with the unnamed Irish friend, being the first visit, received more detail, and the visit with the group was on a holiday, July 4th.
The Guinness was pronounced as a “good pint” (the opposite of a bad pint) though expensive, the food “majestically presented”, “lovely”, “liked” despite the odd “dud” and “a couple of shortcomings” because overall the food was “mostly on the mark”.
It was the Fourth of July, and Raglan Road was hopping. We passed around the plate of house-smoked salmon, shiny, fragrant slices that we piled on thin, chewy slices of housemade Irish soda bread, washed down with pints of Boulevard Pale Ale and Smithwick’s. It was America’s high holiday, but this gorgeous Irish restaurant, whose interior is an amalgam of several Victorian houses and bars handcrafted in Ireland, seemed to be in a celebratory mood, too.
The whole article is well worth a read if it’s the food that you’re especially interested in.
