    The Opossum's Tale - Ploughman's lunch and Forager's spring soup (potatoes, kale,onions, and more all puréed). More fun than a salad. - British Near Me - Jonesborough, Tennessee

    Super cute
    Deborah P.

    Brian, the B&B owner recommended this place right down from his B&B. So glad he did walked right in and got a table. Super cute place you order at the bar. They're very friendly. We ordered the shepherds pie split it because it came with a salad too, which was perfect. We ended up getting two beers. It was great for an evening to just sit back and enjoy. Local favorite absolute. Must they say it's the best pub in Jonesboro and I would agree!

    If you want something different try the The Opossum's Tale in Historic Jonesborough! I ordered take out so this is a small plate that I dished out at home (the servings were larger than you see.) I was craving some beans and greens and thought I'd try the gluten free veggie fritters with beet-ginger toum sauce. It was mouth watering good!! Check out their FB page and their menu on their website. They definitely offer food that's out of the norm around here. Judging by the crowd in there it's a welcome change!

    Cauliflower fritters. Yum! Dips were great and garlicky

    Food and ambience was great, but the service was a little slow. The place was crowded, which usually means "good eats"

    After spending a few days in Dublin Ireland and frequenting The Temple Bar and Brazen Head, I was…read moremissing a good drawn Guinness. I heard of Mulligans but hadn't made it up until yesterday. I asked an old friend to meet me there for lunch. Albeit a quieter time of the day, the decor and stage indicated a much livelier crowd in the evening. Note to self, go back on a Friday night. Our waitress Gatsby was a pure delight. She was prompt with both our drinks and food. We asked a lot of questions and through them all she smiled and left us satisfied with her replies. Now, if you're craving Irish beer or whiskey, they'll be your new favorite stop. We had Guinness, of course, but also, Harps and Smithwicks. Not much of a whiskey person but I did see their selections. We both had the fish and chips. Good and fresh. They have lots of Irish dishes so return trips are on the schedule. I can only imagine a full place and good music playing! What a fun place. Thanks Gatsby! You were the best.

    Lads, this gaff absolutely slaps…read more Not jokin'--we're talkin' top-tier stuff here. Picture it: miserable Saturday, wind goin' sideways, whole day lookin' like it needs a good talkin' to. Me and the missus gets blown into this pub like two gobshites lookin' a shelter and a feed. And ... what a shout! I ordered the corned beef and cabbage, and I swear on me Ma's good china, it was filthy good. Fork went through it like it owed me money. Juicy, melty, little ribbons of fat runnin' through it like it was showin' off. The cabbage? Deadly. The mash? Lads... the mash tasted like an angel got notions and said "ah go on, I'll make this one myself." Bit of garlic, bit of peel, bit of magic. I nearly cried. We're not from Johnson City, so it might be a hot minute before we're back, but believe me--if I'm anywhere within sniffin' distance of this town again, I'll be leggin' it back to this place like a man late for mass. Ciaran, our server, was sound as a pound--quick, chatty, callin' us "friends" like he was adoptin' us. Man deserves a raise and a parade. The place is set up for tunes later on, loads of seats, loos clean enough to perform surgery in--madness. Prices? Couldn't argue with 'em even if I wanted to. The missus got fish and chips for eighteen quid, mine was twenty-one. Soft drinks only two quid, and a rake of beers and cocktails if you're feelin' spicy. Absolutely recommend this spot to slake the thirst and sate the hunger--ah now, that's the kind of night that'd put manners on ya.
