As my friends like to remind me, I live \"halfway to Utah,\" and it can be difficult to find a decent place to eat out here in the more \"rural\" side of North Las Vegas. But Morrissey's Irish Pub has come to the rescue more than once.\n\nThe food ranks somewhat above the average bar food, and on holidays like mother's day and St. Patrick's day, they run a variety of specials. Their corned beef is actual corned beef and not that bizarre red stuff wrapped in plastic. Breakfast is hearty (perhaps a bit too hearty) but affordable. I recommend the short stack of pancakes with extra syrup. \n\nI like that the restaurant portion of the pub is completely blocked off from the bar. Smoke doesn't trickle in and, except for the weird 70s and 80s progressive rock, the dining area is very quiet. We enjoy going here after we've been working in the yard to enjoy the frigid air conditioning and tall backed booths.\n\nI don't know if this is a chain or not, and I'm not sure if it matters. I love the decor of old photographs featuring men with slicked back hair and severe looking women. The women in the photos, by the way, look nothing like the buxom bronze statue in front of the pub. O.o\n\nService varies depending on who is working and the time of day, but for the most part it is fairly good.\n\n(this review is for the restaurant portion of the pub)
