Dandy Inn

Don't bother dressing like a dandy for The Dandy Inn. This good-natured, family-friendly pub & grill in Fairview Heights will take you as you are, even if you're not Irish. (The leprechaun decorations, green-shirted waitresses and count-down-to-St.-Patty's-Day clock should leave little doubt as to what "the old country" means at the Dandy.) Folks can hunker down in one of the two cozy front rooms or stretch out at a picnic table on the covered back patio. Draft beers come in frosty mugs, and the food menu covers all the bases, including "lizzards" (chicken gizzards and livers).
