Irish Pub at Lazimpat has always been the go-to place for expats of all backgrounds living in Kathmandu, especially the Irish. (Not to suggest it is any less popular among locals.) The complex opposite the famous Ambassador Hotel in Lainchaur hosts the semi-underground Irish Pub with its wooden-themed, dimly-lit ambience, with touches of green all over to represent Ireland’s favorite color.
The menu boasts of Irish as well as international cuisines and the full-fledged bar offers a huge variety of local and imported drinks. Irish’s regular clientele also seem to love what little variety of Nepali-styled food it offers, especially the buff sukuti and the pork shyapta. Regular events at weekends, including live bands and DJ sessions, as well as special celebrations on St Patrick’s Day and the like, are what make Irish Pub the hotspot for partygoers.
PS: The pub photographer is damn good and you might want to drop by for a couple of photos when you have taken the trouble to dress in your best, if for nothing else.
