New in the menu this year is locally crafted seltzer, called “So Berry Les.” The name is a special tribute to John Cooke’s (co-owner of Raglan Road Pub and Cooke’s of Dublin) father Les, who found himself in the Guinness Book of World Records for setting a strawberry-buying record in 1977. What a great tribute to the history of the restaurant! This seltzer was crafted in a Winter Garden, FL and has a light and refreshing taste infused with local Florida strawberry and Key Lime juice. But don’t worry there will be plenty of Irish beer including Guinness, a traditional Irish beverage!
