Darby’s Tavern

A trip up the coast to Belfast brought us to Darby’s Tavern.

.

.

It was built in 1865 and still has its original tin ceiling.

.

.

The bar screams prohibition era retro.

And speaking of the bar…

.

.

A ruby red grapefruit martini hit the spot.

.

.

I think the Babe approved.

Darby’s is famous for it’s “from scratch” kitchen, and lunch did not disappoint.

.

.

I started with homemade cornbread with blueberry maple butter. Ooh la la! So good I didn’t want to share.

.

.

But the husband started with a sinfully rich cream of broccoli soup and kept reaching for my bread.

.

.

Above the bar? The antique Budweiser lamp my husband has been trying to cajole off his brother who owns the same one . When you switch it on, the lamp lights and the Clydesdales start walking. Real man cave material, but Darbys wouldn’t sell theirs either.

.

.

I ordered off the specials menu, though I had no idea what made a crab’s toe peek.

.

.

Didn’t matter, it was delicious. Toes et al.

.

.

Husband chose a broiled haddock in scampi sauce with a fresh green salad and maple Dijon vinaigrette.

Good drinks, good food, good place!
