Behrad EatsApril 19, 2016The Egg & Cheese Bagelwich will hit the spot, just make sure to load it up with bacon, avocado, AND pastrami like we did!
- Behrad EatsFebruary 15, 2016Great wings here, especially the Lemon Pepper Fried Matzo Chicken Wings.
- XNovember 27, 2012This Irish pub is also a Jewish deli. Yes, really. It's also got three (3!) Wi-Fi networks, all free, and none of them have passwords. Yes, really. Best of all, the wifi is actually fast. Yes, really.
- Behrad EatsFebruary 15, 2016Must order the geniusly delicious Reuben Egg Rolls with Russian dipping sauce.
DrinkDC.comAugust 18, 2011Congratulations, you made it! Check out the Early Bird Happy Hour from 3-7pm: $1 Off Miller Lite, Shocktop, Rail Drinks, & $5 Glasses of Wine. Tell them Drink DC sent you! Read more
Stephanie DSeptember 22, 2014This place is great, but a snakebite is lager & cider, not lager & Guinness. Also, the homemade "matzo"rella sticks are killer.
Melissa RaymondSeptember 3, 2012All of the bread is made in house so try on of the build your own sandwiches! My fav is the rare roast beef.
Made in one shaker and in one pour Sarah produced all the distinct colors. Sarah is badass!! Go see Sarah. lol
Come by Monday nights for trivia! Check in, let the host know what team you're on and get some free points!
The Concord (fried baloney) will blow your mind! The Clogger and the Reuben are also delicious. Say hi to Jay behind the bar...he's a swell fellow.
The star and shamrock sandwich is the probably the world's most perfect sandwich.
Andrea BonkAugust 14, 2011The shepherd's pie fries are unreal. No comparison to chili fries; they're just amazing!- Probably the only bar on H street that you can start drinking in at 11am weekdays!
Come join me every Wednesday Night for 1/2 Classic Reubens from 4p-midnight! (Dine-in only)
They no longer make the Clogger (RIP), but Bullfrog Bagels are excellent.
Jen KarrJuly 1, 2010The Latke Madness sandwich is ridiculously good. Latkes replace the rye bread in this riff-on-a-Reuben. YUM is all I gotta say!
DevonAugust 1, 2011Turkey on toasted sourdough with lettuce and tomato (mayo and provolone if you like). So simple. So good.
WomplyJanuary 18, 2012Star and Shamrock has partnered with Womply to offer $15 cash back after 3 visits!
Chuq YangJuly 1, 2010peek the deli! The brine, cure and bake it right there! I do need to go back for the food. Not very vegetarian friendly (even though I'm not a vegetarian).- DevonOctober 31, 2011Excellent bartenders - friendly to regulars and competent folks, indifferent to assholes.
Grab a he'brew beer and latke madness sandwich and get ready for the best night of your life.
Banana Bread Beer isn't on the menu, but it's so good
Order the Clogger without reservation. It's a "sandwich," like the Grand Canyon is a "hole." Way beyond your expectations.
Mandy JenkinsSeptember 20, 2010Excellent potato pancakes - try them with both sour cream and applesauce.
Try the latkes and the Reuben egg-rolls... Both are amazing!
ArdvaarkSeptember 25, 2010Devour a Clogger, and then check yourself into the cardiac unit at Howard University Hospital.
Tim LJanuary 16, 2011Incompetent bartenders, make sure you tell them when you order that's its an order.
Don't come here on a crowded night. Bathrooms situation is not good

The Star and Shamrock is a New York- style deli and traditional Irish pub. Sound like a contradiction? Jewish and Irish cultures, celebrated (and tormented!), have more in common than you'd think! Misery loves company-- Oy Vey! So come in and enjoy the best of both in one place!

"Go in early for the good menu before it gets busy and service suffers. The Claypot Chicken Wings and Short Rib Burger are great… the Gruyere & Brie Grilled Cheese is also on point."
