In 2013, Sláinte Irish Pub & Restaurant and Kooper’s Tavern finished respectively 1st and 2nd place of “Crush the Creek” Challenge and Sláinte was awarded Best Oyster Restoration Bar in Baltimore! For a perfect pairing, our bartending staff will be pouring some Absolut vodka cocktails and Heavy Seas Brews. Our chefs at Kooper’s Tavern and Sláinte Irish Pub and Restaurant will match the bartenders’ efforts and will be serving some great specials including a mouth-watering Oyster Burger, Fried Oyster Po’Boy and a collection of creative mignonettes and sauces for a perfect oyster tasting.
