Well, maybe it is just something strange with Dusseldorf, even though the two bigger cities that I visited didn't anywhere near as many Irish pubs as did Dusseldorf. Well, maybe it has something to do with the lack of things to do in Dusseldorf so everybody goes out to the pubs. Anyway, this is another nice Irish pub, but since I have already visited our others, it was difficult to distinguish it from the others. Personally I liked it, but that had something to do with it being quiet.

Okay, it was pretty quiet, and the interior was typical of your cluttered Irish Pub with lots of random things (including an old public telephone) covering the walls. However I only visited this place once, but then agains I only visited a lot of places once because either I was too far away, or there wasn't any real reason to come back multiple times. This pub, in the end, wasn't a bad pub, and while I wouldn't object to visiting it again, it isn't one that I would be hurrying to all that quickly.

No, not the…read moreJames Joyce - he's dead - but a James Joyce, which is a pretty Irish name when it comes down to it (and he happened to have come from Ireland anyway). Well, Dusseldorf certainly has it's fair share of Irish pubs (six of them within a short walk from each other). The thing is that there is only so much that you can write about an Irish Pub, especially when the only differences happen to either be their name, or the fact that James Joyce is behind the bar. This is the main reason why I decided I had to write this one up because of, well, James Joyce.

A decent Irish pub with a respectable pint of Guinness. For some reason, when we visited, it seemed…read morethat they were out of half of the whiskies... even Black Bush, which any self-respecting Irish pub should always carry in plentiful quantities. So I had to subtract a star for that... on top of that, they have a woman sitting in front of the bathrooms with a donation tray. This always annoys the hell out of me, as it is extremely rude and shameless of the owner of any establishment to do this. If you pay for your drinks, you're paying for the upkeep of the bar too. So especially when you go into a bathroom that's not very clean or well-kept and then you also have to deal with the sad-looking woman on your way out, it really is no fun. And I go to pubs to have fun. If they don't have the money to pay her for her work, then raise the damn beer prices! Anyway, aside from the cleaning lady at the bathrooms, the missing whiskies, and the slightly dirty bathroom, it's a decent Irish pub. Especially after the one I visited on the previous night with the worst Guinness I had ever had the displeasure of receiving, and which cost more than the one here.

Hear me out before you start judging…read more I made friends with another US expat, and we started comparing notes about US American-style food in Essen. I made the mistake of comparing Tofino and Hans im Glück before he stopped me. His advice was to try Fritzpatrick's before I start trash talking all the Germans and their inability to make a burger. I'll admit when I'm wrong, and I was wrong. Fritzpatrick's food is good. I understand why so many people have recommended coming here, and I regret not going sooner. The food is good; not just good by pub standards, but it's actually good. My only gripe is the same one I have with most German restaurants: they dress the burger bun with ketchup rather than keeping it on the side. I hate and despise ketchup and felt like such a jerk for sending back my bacon cheeseburger. Sorry. The server was really nice about it. Thanks for dealing with this picky American.

It certainly was a huge change from the other Irish Pubs that seem to be clustered around a couple of blocks. Also, the bartender was really, really friendly so I also have to give it points for that.

The Brauerei zum Schiffchen is a real institution in the Düsseldorf food scene, with a long…read morehistory. It's located in the heart of the Altstadt (Old Town) and its decor reflects its glorious and long past. Over the years, it has become more and more touristic but it's also still a place loved by many locals. They serve a lot of local beers, in particular the bitter, dark Alt which is typical from this area. Their menu offers a lot of dishes from the regional German cuisine including the renowned Rheinischer Sauerbraten (roast beef), Mettfleish (raw pork) and a lot of various wurst (sausages). The service is fast and prices are fair. It can get quite packed so it's always good to book well in advance.

The weather was a bit dreary so everyone was sitting inside for once. Our server spoke perfect English but he was a bit rough around the edges. This was the only restaurant we went to where English was already on the menu. The menu consisted of starters & soups, house specialties, fish and dessert. There also was a seasonal sheet and a few daily specials including a business set menu (€15,50). - Alsterwasser (€3,20 for 0.30L) - light beer with lemonade. This was a mix of pilsner with a splash of lemonade. - Himmel & ähd (€12,50) - blutwurst (fried black pudding), mashed potatoes, fried onions and stewed apples. Not sure why but their fried onions don't come hot nor crispy. The blutwurst was interesting; lightly crisped and the filling was tasty. Mashed potatoes were buttery. - Metzgers leibgericht (€14,50) - three sausages (mettwurst, thüringer art bratwurst and krakauer) with sauerkraut and homemade mashed potatoes. Mettwurst was a thicker, meatier, minced pork sausage. Krakauer (similar to a a Polish kielbasa) was slightly salty but had a good bite. Bratwurst was our favourite of the bunch; easily the tastiest and most flavourful. Sauerkraut was hot and well balanced in acidity. Mashed potatoes were the same (wish they would let you choose other sides to try). An enjoyable last German meal (and for once, not too heavy). 3.5 stars.
