Using CitySearch and other online sources to find an Irish Pub (Fado being just too far to drive after a long day), we found Kavanaugh's, read the reviews - admittedly puzzled by the kudos to fiesta salad and barbeque at an Irish pub - and decided to give it a shot. The exterior was definitely Vegas with neon green lights outlining a 'trying too hard to prove we're a pub from 'cross the pond' architecture which, incidentally, made it quite clear that it was not. The place was busy, so our spirits were lifted (after all, it had to be good if it was busy.... right?). The interior has a lot of authentic-looking European charm which helps with ambience and atmosphere. There was a nice big fireplace in the center of the restaurant, effecting a nice separation of the dining and bar areas. The stained glass and other doorways were definitely warming us up to an Irish pub spirit. Seating is a mix of tables, booths, and half-table/half-booths good enough for just the two of us or larger parties (a separate room helps with the latter as well); the wood is nice and dark and actually feels like real wood seating - not that laminated stuff at so many other places. I don't know that I agree with feeling that I was "beamed" into authenticity, but the interior layout and decor definitely helped make up for the exterior. The food is bar food. It was tasty, there was a lot of it, but an Irish menu it was not. Slapping an Irish-sounding name or geographical reference into quotes and then placing it above Taco Salad does not lend any authenticity to it. They had an Irish stew, fish and chips, bangers and mash.... and that's basically it. Again, the food was GOOD. Real bleu cheese dressing, large, fresh produce, potatoes, etc.... but this is NOT an Irish pub. If you want to eat at a UK-style pub with actual English and Irish, go to Crown and Anchor on Tropicana, go to Fado on Eastern (formerly inside GVR).
Pros: Food was tasty
Cons: Deceiving; not an Irish pub

Not a huge beer selection for an irish pub but they do have Guinness and Beamish. Sunday morning/afternoon brunch is by far their best feature. For several extra dollars over their regular breakfast meals you can get unlimited champagne, and these meals are very large including toast, home fries, eggs, and whatever your meal might have been i.e. steak. It's also a good location for other meals too. Bar wise it's not too impressive, the pub portion isn't anything special, no abundance of tv to watch sports or like I said before a large beer selection. Service here is great though and the servers tend to be very friendly and happy to be there.
