This may just be the white whale of Parisian bars: good homemade food, good craft beer, friendly service, and big enough to gather a crowd without becoming uncomfortably crowded. Skip the Green Goose beer (a boring Belgian for happy hour purposes only) and discover the range of O’Hara’s on tap or one of the handful of Irish craft bottled beers – no industrial stout here. Settle in with a pint at one of the comfortable barstools or at a long communal table and don’t miss the lovingly prepared food at this excellent Irish gastropub, including Scotch eggs, a fair burger, and a big Sunday brunch.

Reviews of Interest
Hipsters in Paris (2014) “The Green Goose is many things. Excellent Irish pub. Excellent gastropub/resto. But I’m going to go ahead and claim that the brunch is the best in Paris. You can order à la carte (as per the above poached eggs with beet-cured salmon with a yuzu hollandaise), or you can take the Brunch menu, which is €22 of excessive overindulgence of the best kind.”
Not Drinking Poison in Paris (2014) “Almost heroic. There’s not a Guinness or a shamrock in sight in the lovingly recreated Dublin-style wooden space. Instead he offers, every day of the week, a solid pub menu, every insanely underrated O’Hara’s beer on tap, and the inimitably frank hospitality of a proper Irish pub.”
