MTM Tavern
Formerly known as Matt the Miller’s Tavern, an Irish pub in Dublin has changed its name to MTM Tavern | Steakhouse. Although the restaurant has multiple locations now, the concept came from a visit to the original Matt the Miller’s in Ireland. Along with a new name, the restaurant also has a new menu. New features include a 10-ounce wagyu sirloin strip, a 12-ounce ribeye and many offerings from Oscar’s of Dublin, a fine dining restaurant that closed after more than 30 years of business. Items from this former restaurant include crispy salmon, ahi tuna tacos and more. Although MTM Tavern has given an upscale flair to the popular pub, this spot still guarantees a comfortable and inviting atmosphere paired with delicious bites.
Watch
Saturday Night
Although Saturday Night Live has been a staple for late-night laughs since its inception in 1975, it takes a lot of hard work to make something look easy. That is evident in the new film Saturday Night, which cycles through the 90 minutes before the first ever broadcast of the famous late-night show. On October 11, 1975, at 11:30 p.m., a group of writers has minimal time to pull together a dream before the network crushes it. Nerve-wracking, hilarious and gripping, Saturday Night is the essence of the feeling viewers get every time they hear the famous words, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”
