Haven Gastropub
“Irish Car Bomb Dessert”
Everything here is tasty. Their excellent fries w/ homemade ketchup slash tomato paste, their steak with chocolate deglaze, their pork belly with celery puree… it’s all good. And crazy weird beers, too (Smoked beer?!) But, the reason why you really go to Haven is this dessert right here.
Traditionally, an Irish Car Bomb is a *very* alcoholic drink that you down in one gulp. Take a shot-glass filled to the brim with 1/2 Jameson whiskey, 1/2 Bailey’s Irish coffee. Drop it in a glass of Guinness beer. Sounds like a very strong drink (and it is), but somehow the combination of alcohols tastes just like a dessert!
Well, Haven Gastropub took it to the next level. The cupcake is infused with Bailey’s, the ice cream is made with Guinness beer, and the caramel uses Jameson whiskey. Now, remember that it’s not easy to freeze alcohol. Since, given enough time, alcoholic ice cream will fill apart, they make the Guinness ice cream made to order. Pretty cool, right? And yes, it tastes remarkably similar to its namesake.
