| - When I think Irish Pub, I picture a bunch of happy drunk people singing and clinking their beers together. That's definitely NOT what you're going to get at The Rogue. If I had a more accurate description for this place, it would be an "Irish Gastropub". Here's why...
The menu is simple, elevated and reasonably priced. You have a few traditional dishes from the other side of the pond, like Onion Soup, Shepherd's Pie and Fish & Chips. Then you have some other American favorites, like wings, a burger and mac & cheese. I had the Broccoli Soup Special (delicious), Rogue Salad (loved the freshness of the dressing, apples and walnuts) and Lamb Sliders (good, but would have liked a little more of a kick of flavor). I recommend them all, and I'll be in next time for the burger (heard good things!).
The drinks are great. So you've got your Irish Coffee and your Guinness, but you also have a whole slew of great cocktail, beer and wine choices. I had the Pancho Villa (basically a margarita), but I've heard good things about the Rasputin. Key interest...the Frozen Irish Coffee (whaaaattttt????).
The decor is so cozy. Think Edison lights with dark paint colors and woodwork. So industrial chic. The waitstaff has a casual, flannel shirt look that just adds to the comfortable atmosphere. Love it.
I'm beyond excited to have another awesome restaurant pop up in Dilworth! This is truly an awesome addition to the East Blvd block, and I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here at The Rogue.
