#95 - Take a Trip to the Emerald Isle At Digger O'Dells

A local favorite spot for food and drinks.

Looking for a casual spot to get a bite to eat? Maybe a cold frothy drink? Stop by  on West Main Street. Digger’s is a local, Irish-style pub with a wide variety of quality ales and bar food to boot. They have a spacious dining room with plenty of seating and a warm and welcoming decor.

Their hot corned beef reuben, topped with sauerkraut and swiss chesse is just one of the many special dishes available at a reasonable price. Digger’s has a menu filled with traditional Irish dishes as well as pub favorites. You can build your own burger, order a wrap or appetizer's or go for something a little more unique - like the Ahi Tuna Wrap.

If you're in the mood for some Irish food, take a pick "From the Isle:" Digger's Corned Beef & Cabbage, Killarney Shepherd's Pie, Tipperary Chicken Pot Pie or Black & Tan Fish & Chips.

A chalkboard at the end of the long side of the bar lists the specialty beers they have on tap, in addition to the more popular varieties. Often times Long Island microbrews such as Great South Bay, Greenport Harbor, Fire Island or Long Ireland Beer Cos. are being poured. 

Although there is a bar, the dining area is nicely removed so you can dine how you like.
