As the name suggests, this restaurant/bar specializes in pasties. If you don't know what pasties are, they're an English specialty that is basically like a giant Hot Pocket, except not awful. And here you'll find many different kinds of them (nontraditional) that would probably be hard to find in jolly old England. The vibe here is that of a loud, dark pub.

Fibber Magees is probably Chandler's second most popular Irish pub, and many swear they have the best Guinness pour in the east valley. Their website boasts that they're "the only truly authentic Irish owned and operated restaurant and pub in the east valley."
The food is decent. Probably the most interesting thing is the variety of poutine options. Based on my experience, I would stay away from the daily specials.
The decor is really impressive. When you're inside, it really feels like you're in a pub in Ireland, and, to top it off, they often have live Irish/Irish-ish music.
