Dugan's Turkey and Swiss<\/p><\/div>\n

I was working late the other night, in Downtown Little Rock, and John Farmer, a co-worker, invited me to Dugan\u2019s Pub<\/a> for a beer and some food.\u00a0 Although the food was sure to be outside of my diet, I accepted the invite and joined along with a few other co-workers.<\/p>\n

Dugan\u2019s Pub fancies itself as an Irish Pub and was founded by Don Dugan, who used to work at Kelly\u2019s Bistro.\u00a0 I used to really like Kelly\u2019s Bistro and looked forward to visiting the pub which is located on 3rd and Rock Street.\u00a0 The pub is open and spacious with plenty of tables and seating, and of course a bar to sit at.<\/p>\n

We chose to sit at a table in the back, near the dart boards and had plenty of room.\u00a0 The menu has quite a few items on it, ranging from typical bar food (fried stuff) to \u201cIrish Favorites\u201d such as Filet Mignon ($23.99)<\/strong> and Shepherd\u2019s Pie ($8.95)<\/strong>.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure a Filet Mignon is an Irish favorite, but it looked nice on the menu.\u00a0 The one part that annoyed me wa the Shepherd\u2019s Pie.\u00a0 It\u2019s made with beef.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about you, but I don\u2019t know many shepherd\u2019s who have flocks of cattle.<\/p>\n

John ordered an appetizer of Fried Jalapenos ($4.25)<\/strong> and\u00a0the Dugan\u2019s Sampler ($9.95)<\/strong> for an entree.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t want to break my diet too much so I went with the Turkey and Swiss Sandwich ($7.95). <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dugan's Fried Jalapenos<\/p><\/div>\n

The Fried Jalapenos <\/strong>appetizer came out quickly and was made up of sliced jalapenos, fried, along with a basket of chipolte ranch dipping sauce.\u00a0 The sauce was on the thin side, with bubbles from being so thin, but had a decent taste to it.\u00a0 The jalapeno slices were fried but not greasy and had a nice crunch.\u00a0 I enjoyed them and would order it again if I were going for a fried appetizer.<\/p>\n

The Turkey and Swiss Sandwich <\/strong>was medium in size, with a mild chipotle sauce, and topped with avocado and melted cheese.\u00a0 The bread was firm, but not stale, and tasted good.\u00a0 I wish the sauce had been spicier, but it was good enough and overall the sandwich was enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Dugan\u2019s Sampler<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

As I mentioned before, John had the Dugan\u2019s Sampler<\/strong>, which consists of fried mozzarella sticks, fried chicken tenders, and fried mushrooms with ranch, marinara, and chipotle sauces.\u00a0 It came out on a plate in a heaping mound of fried goodness.\u00a0 Just looking at it caused me to gain 5 pounds!<\/p>\n

The mozzarella sticks were huge, reminiscent of the ones you get at Shorty Smalls<\/a>, and were good with the marinara sauce.\u00a0 Although they were huge, they were small enough to not have to cut up and had a nice crunch to them.\u00a0 The chicken tenders were also fried well, not greasy, and with a good flavor to them.\u00a0 The mushrooms, tasted like well, fried mushrooms, but were tasty enough.\u00a0 Overall I was surprised that the dish was not greasy and had a good flavor to it.\u00a0 If you want fried food, give it a try.<\/p>\n

So how did I like the experience?\u00a0 It was what I expected and a little bit more.\u00a0 The fried food was crisp, flavorful, and not too greasy given what it is.\u00a0 If I were 10 years younger I could see myself really liking the bar as well.\u00a0 Overall, a nice place to go for a beer and some pub grub.<\/p>\n
