Bennigan’s Downtown Gives Way to Fiddler’s Hearth

The old Bennigan’s at Riverside and Barton Springs has made way for a new restaurant venture called Fiddler’s Hearth. This is an Celtic-style establishment serving Irish, Scottish, Welsh and a variety of other Celtic cuisines. It’s family owned with locations in Indiana and Austin.

Looks like they’re serving all the obligatory pub grub including Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips (with cod), Irish Stew. Welsh Rarebit, Sheperd’s Pie, along with Traditional Irish Bacon and Cabbage. They also have Boxty’s and Gallette’s, potato and buckwheat pancakes in that order, along with Scotch Eggs and Whiskey Cream Shrimp.

At first glance the menu is most impressive.
