St. Patty’s Day Cuisine at Red Onion Cafe 🧅 

Most consider Red Onion Cafe a restaurant that serves American cuisine. While that may be true, they’ve also been serving up some classic Irish dishes this weekend—and today is the last day to try them out! Try the Bangers & Mash, Corned Beef & Cabbage, ROC’s Reuben, and the Guiness Shamrock Cake!
