Erin go bragh! There's no better time than St. Patrick's Day to toast with a pint of Guinness, the best selling alcoholic drink in Ireland and a liquid tradition that dates back to the late 1700s. But what about celebrating the Feast of St. Patrick with an actual feast that features the world's most famous dry stout? Quite a few places around L.A. have incorporated the beloved beer in their kitchens. Read on to find out some of the best dishes in Los Angeles that feature Guinness in their recipes.

Located in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, 25 Degrees is a 24-hour diner that is well-known for their Guinness Milkshake. The chocolate syrup-coated glass is quite a sight, but it's the inside that counts. Ice cream and espresso are the base of the shake before being topped off with the famous Irish beer.

BLD Restaurant
It's not "breakfast, lunch or dinner" that has Guinness in it, but dessert. Head over to BLD for their Guinness Ice Cream Pie, made with a thick layer of delicious Guinness chip ice cream atop a sugar cone crust, and finished with whipped cream and toasted almonds. The finishing touch is a drizzle of Jameson fudge.

At Casey's Irish Pub in Downtown L.A., there are a number of items that use Guinness as a key ingredient. They offer a thick, beefy braised Guinness stew complete with potatoes, carrots and onions. Not quite as obvious is the Corned Beef, which is boiled in the stout. And their crispy, flaky, fish and chips? The magic in the batter is Guinness.
