Dick Mack's
Dingle is a boozer's Disneyland...and this is one of it's main rides. It's almost the perfect Irish bar; an authentic period interior, a warren of small areas for you to take over for a private chat, live music, tasty pints and more characters than you could shake a stick at. I'm sure the constant stream of tourists in and out of the place annoys the locals, but I suppose that's the price of success. The night I was here a local guy had just returned from winning a national sean nós singing competition. His winner's cup, filled with brandy and ginger (light on the ginger mind) was passed around for us all to celebrate. And celebrate we did. Great craic. You can't recreate a place like this...it grows from the ground up. Walking into it is like meeting an old friend again.
If only we had more like it in Dublin...but then again, I'd probably never leave.
