Though this isn't an Irish pub -- or anything even remotely resembling one -- it is the hub of St. Paddy's Day mayhem in town. Owner Mal (brother of Hal) has organized an annual St. Patrick's Day parade every year for more than two decades -- even longer than his restaurant has existed! There's a different theme each year, and the event lasts all day, ending with an after- bash back at the bar. Practically all of Jackson is Irish for the day. The rest of the year, the menu and atmosphere here are contemporary American brewpub with just enough Southern style to keep everybody happy. Kitchen offerings vary from classic (gumbo) to contemporary (grilled shrimp Caesar) to only-when-you're-good-and-drunk (deep-fried dill pickles). The house brewmaster provides an ever-changing selection of unique microbrews. After dinner hours, the focus turns to the stage, where regional and local music acts perform everything from folk to funk. -- Lena Katz
