CALIFORNIA

Riley’s Brew Pub

Location: Clovis, California

“This place is a family favorite! I would highly recommend speaking to the chef or a manager and they will discuss your options in-depth.”

FLORIDA

Celtic Conch Public House

Location: Key West, Florida

“Edit: the fryers are no longer separate! Still good with allergies, just a bit more limited of a menu.

Everyone needs to go to the Celtic Conch! Not only do you get great atmosphere with live Irish music on certain days, but they take allergies seriously. I had one of the best allergy conversations I’ve ever had here. I asked the bartender, Annette, if I would be able to have any of the appetizers with my shellfish allergy, and if I would be safe from cross-contamination. To which she replied, we’re a proper kitchen of course you’ll be. I loved that answer, and she said it was the only answer. So true! Not only are they great with assuring there’s no cross-contamination, they have separate fryers so I was able to have any fried food as long as it didn’t have shellfish. I ended up sharing the tempura sushi bites (vegetarian and had such great umami you couldn’t even tell) and the potato skins. Will 1000% be coming back here.”

@ksalina, who manages a shellfish allergy

Cooke’s of Dublin

Location: Orlando, Florida

“This place is great for allergies. They have a gluten-free ‘beer batter’ that’s made with champagne instead of beer and is safe for multiple allergies. Anything they serve fried they can make gluten-free, including fish and chips, chicken breast strips, and onion rings. Everything comes from a dedicated fryer and they put oregano in the gluten-free batter (and not in the original) so people can clearly see the difference. I’ve never had a bad experience and I’ve been coming here for years.”

@imbanananas, who manages peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, shellfish, seed, avocado, and fruit allergies

McGuire’s Irish Pub

Location: Pensacola, Florida

“While this didn’t, at face value, seem to be the safest restaurant from the outside looking in, I have actually had multiple great experiences here! The staff has consistently been great when dealing with my food allergies. In my experience, we have talked to the server who has brought out or talked to the head chef or manager to ensure my allergies would be accommodated. I ordered a plain chicken breast, with olive oil, salt, and pepper only prepared on a clean area of the grill, and a plain baked potato, cooked separately as well, with no butter and had no issues. I felt confident that the staff truly cared and took my allergies seriously every time I visited! Would definitely go again! The atmosphere is a reason to go in itself! Certainly unique!”

@allergystrategy, who manages peanut, milk, egg, and shellfish allergies

Raglan Road Irish Pub

Location: Orlando, Florida

“This is the sit-down location next to the quick service Cooke’s of Dublin. They both have a gluten-free ‘beer batter’ that’s made with champagne instead of beer and is safe for multiple allergies. Anything they serve fried they can make gluten-free, including fish and chips, chicken breast strips, and onion rings. Everything comes from a dedicated fryer and they put oregano in the gluten-free batter (and not in the original) so people can clearly see the difference. The waitstaff is helpful, knowledgeable, and if there’s something they don’t know, they’ll get you someone who does. For those with shellfish allergies, I believe they fry scallops in the dedicated gluten-free fryer—I don’t have a cross-contamination issue with my shellfish allergy but those who do, definitely ask for clarification.”

@sheberhard, who manages tree nut and seed allergies

@rwmha, who manages a celiac-gluten allergy

Marge’s Still

Location: Chicago, Illinois

“This is a true gastropub where you can have anything from a nice piece of meat or fish to traditional pub fare.

@albanyjosh, who manages peanut and shellfish allergies

Kerryman Irish Bar & Restaurant

Kerryman Irish Bar & Restaurant

Location: Chicago, Illinois

“I was so excited I was able to have fish and chips! It’s rare that I’m able to have fried foods going out because of cross-contamination, but they have separate fryers here!! Love a mindful kitchen.

@tbf6, who manages peanut, tree nut, milk, egg, shellfish, sesame, and legume allergies

NEW JERSEY

Celtic Cottage Pub and Patio Bar

Location: Long Branch, New Jersey

“I ate the fish and chips. The waiter was also the chef, and was not the most knowledgeable about allergies but assured me there was nothing with tree nuts on the menu. For any other allergy, I would not say they are the most accommodating, but the menu is simple and familiar for those of us with tree nut allergies. And delicious!”

@hope1313, who manages a tree nut allergy

O’Nieal’s

Egan & Sons

Location: Montclair, New Jersey

“I’ve been going to Egan’s my whole life. They do use some nuts in the kitchen but I have always gotten fish & chips or maple buffalo wings.

@naroksaar, who manages celiac

Sweeney’s Irish Pub

Location: Walden, New York

Stellar server kept me safe! She was knowledgeable and went above and beyond communicating with the kitchen about my allergies. They use peanut oil in the fryer, so many options were out, and they were able to modify my salad so my chicken was grilled instead of fried. Food was delicious! A game was on so it got a little loud, but they had plenty of seating and the AC felt great after a long hike. We headed to Angry Orchard right after, as they’re just a short drive from each other.

@nutfreeinnyc, who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

Blake’s Tavern

Location: Providence, Rhode Island

“Blake’s is a completely nut-free Irish pub. The servers always mention that the owner’s son has a peanut and tree nut allergy so the kitchen is completely free of both. Because of this, I can safely eat anything on the menu. It is a good spot for a casual meal or if you are looking for a place to eat before or after a show or a game at the AMP. It can get extremely packed when there is a game but it is a great, safe spot!!!!”

@lexiry, who manages a tree nut allergy

CANADA

Finbar’s Irish Pub

St James’s Gate Irish Pub

I asked the hostess if they could accommodate someone with a tree nut and peanut allergy. She went directly to the kitchen to check with the chef. There was no issue as only almonds in one dish and kept separate. I enjoyed a delicious Beef Barley Stew and it came with a slice of Irish Soda Bread.

FRANCE

Pub Le Milton

Location: Annecy, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

“We ate here both nights we were in Annecy, France. This area is a bit tougher because seafood is everywhere, and of course is also at this restaurant. However, they have an allergy menu with the top 12 allergens which we found impressive. Our waiter spoke great English and was helpful. Our son had a pizza the first night and shared our fondue. The second night he had a plain green salad and a cheeseburger. While we had made it clear not to put sauce on it, they did anyhow. We pointed it out, they took it back and made him a new one. Overall, I felt good about this place.”

And now with their updated food allergen menu, it’s even better. Always be sure to notify staff of your allergens, even though their menu is so helpful. Great atmosphere. Traditional Irish Pub. Service can be slow but that doesn’t bother me when they’re taking such good care of our kids! Enjoy!”

@deargluten, who manages celiac and wheat and vegetable allergies

McDermott's Pub

McDermott’s Pub

Location: Doolin, Ireland

“The famous Doolin pub is right across the road, but we opted for McDermott’s given that they seemed more allergy aware and peanut allergy friendly. It was an incredible choice. The staff was very knowledgeable and chatted with us about possible contaminants. I safely had an Irish stew (well marinated beef, carrots, potatoes, celery)”

@nutfreefun, who manages peanut and tree nut allergies

The Hairy Lemon

Location: Dublin, Ireland

“I LOVE the Hairy Lemon. The servers are very helpful and make you feel safe eating there. It can be a bit hectic if there is a GAA or big football match so the environment can feel a little crazy but fun. It’s a really classic pub and I have never had a bad experience here! Labeled with numbers to dictate allergens in each dish.”

@lexiry, who manages a tree nut allergy

The Front Door Pub

The Front Door Pub

The Merry Ploughboy Gastro Pub

The Merry Ploughboy Gastro Pub

Location: Dublin, Ireland

“The Merry Ploughboys & their Irish Night Show is so fun! There is a set menu with allergy information noted and you are able to talk with the server about your allergy.
