Gary Monahan, current Costa Mesa Councilman,
wanted to carry out his dad’s dream of owning a restaurant. In 2000, the dream
became a reality with Skosh Monahan’s. A gathering place of many Orange County
political minds, like Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and
Assemblyman Allan Mansoor,
after travelling back from their respective offices in Washington,
DC or Sacramento,
CA, they come for the food!
Housed on Newport Boulevard with a view of the 55 freeway, Skosh Monahan’s exterior
has the look of an office building, but once you get inside, it’s a very
welcoming Irish pub, where everyone knows your name (like Cheers). With 15 plasma
HDTVs adorning the bar area, there is plenty of room to spend with friends to
root on your favorite team. Did I mention that they have 22 beers on tap! The
dining room is modest and comfortable. The surprise is the food! It’s way more
than just bar food and appetizers. You’ll see what I mean as you read on.
Irish Nachos are steak fries topped with melted
cheese, bacon, and jalapenos. They were perfectly fried, crispy on the outside
and tender on the inside. It was a different flavor with pickled jalapenos,
carrots, and onion. They added a little Mexican flavor which is perfect for
SoCal. The jalapenos had a kick to them, but added a nice flavor as well.
Thumbs up!
