Clancy's Irish Pub #2

Hole-in-the-wall place in the middle of nowhere with great food.

This is one of around 3 businesses in Rosebud, MO, which has a sprawling population of 407 residents!!!

Alex's (my boyfriend) parents live in a small town west of St. Louis and they have made it a recent tradition to head out to Clancy's in Rosebud every Friday night.  Last weekend Alex and I decided to tag along to see what they had been raving about.

Upon arriving, we all got a thorough stare down from the "regulars".  This place is definitely the town's watering hole and outsiders like us stand out.  After taking in all the stares, we settled into a table on their back patio.  This was one of the first nights of the cooler weather we have been having lately so we wanted to take full advantage of being able to be outside again!

The Friday special here is 3 pieces of fried catfish with fries and slaw for $6.99.  Since I knew I wouldn't be back for a long while, I figured I had to go with the special and I was not disappointed!  I don't usually eat much fried bar food but this was well worth the splurge!  The fish was some of the best I have ever had...served pipping hot with the perfect crispiness.  Fries aren't my favorite and seemed pretty standard here along with the coleslaw...the fish was definitely the star of my meal.

If you are ever heading out west, maybe to the Lake of the Ozarks or Jefferson City, I would stop by here.  Food is good and having locals stare you down keeps life interesting!
