Out of a dozen or so candidate-restaurants where we did lunch in Brevard, Lois and I have discussed and agreed that Number 3 of our favorites is Dugans Pub , 106 E Main St. [828-862-6527 ]. What brought us back several times was the Rueben sandwich (which we split) and a pint of Guiness’ Harp lager on tap. Lois opted for Maker’s Mark which was unusual in a place where the suds were flowing.
We noticed that Dugan’s has it’s regulars who were there every time we happened to be there. We also noticed these regulars preferred a liquid lunch and a lot of talk.
Dugan’s in Brevard reminded us of the John Barleycorn pubs in Manhattan -- so typical of the Irish pubs but not at all typical of the pubs in the Emerald Isle. There’s lots to see on the walls and lots of accumulated dust on the ceiling and walls which adds something to the environment. The main bar is a smoking zone and the banners and flags on the ceiling have collected these pollutants over the years. The best place to eat and enjoy is the enclosed patio which is a non-smoking area.
The corned-beef in the Reuben is consistently top quality. The sauerkraut is also among the best we have ever eaten. Service from the wait staff is very good.
Sometime in 2009 Dugan’s Pub will be relocated to the new French Broad Building and the everything will be new, cleaned up and spic and span. Hopefully the food quality will remain high.
