The Irish Rose defies classification; it's a pub in the true sense of the word--that is, it provides cheap drinks, great music, and surprisingly good food in an adjacent dining area. This is a place for oldsters and hipsters alike, giving hope to the revitalization of downtown Rockford. Look for very cheap drink and meal specials. Best time to frequent the place is during a pub crawl downtown, with great bands playing and the area hopping.
