Culhane’s Irish Pub on Atlantic Boulevard in Atlantic Beach has been the Jacksonville beaches community’s go-to Irish pub since it opened, serving genuine Irish pub food and a deep selection of draft beers in a setting that earns its neighborhood regulars rather than just the tourist trade. It appeared in Season 9, Episode 7 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Comfort Food With Attitude,” which aired June 7, 2010. Guy Fieri found a pub kitchen doing Irish comfort food from scratch — braised lamb, house-made soups, and the kind of proper pub menu that earns a coastal community’s loyalty across all twelve months, not just the summer season.

What to Eat
The Braised Lamb Shepherd’s Pie is the pub food standout — slow-braised lamb under a proper mashed potato crust, the kind of dish that earns a pub its food reputation separate from the drink list. The Irish Stew with root vegetables and thick broth is the bowl most regulars order when the weather turns. The Fish and Chips in beer batter with malt vinegar and tartar sauce are the classic benchmark. The Reuben Sandwich on grilled rye with house-made Thousand Island is the lunch standout. The Crab Dip with toasted bread is the appetizer worth ordering before anything else. Find a Jacksonville Beach or Atlantic Beach hotel on Booking.com.
