The man stood in the background was giving a great rendition of "Galway bay" and it was the best 3D screen I've ever seen !!!!

It's not the cleanest venue (seeing a huge spider crawling up the wall next to your table won't do anything for your appetite), nor does it have the fanciest of decor (ripped, torn upholstery, worn carpeting, holes in the chairs & furniture, etc), but what this place lacks in cleanliness more than makes up for it's ambience and clientele.
They make wonderful Irish coffee, and I've enjoyed a good, hearty Irish stew here (although the aforementioned spider incident killed my appetite, and any future inclinations of enjoying a meal here).
There is live music on occasion, and the crowds are always lively.

DRINKING AND SMOKING
The legal drinking age in Quebec is 18. You can buy beer and wine at many corner stores, but for a better selection of fine wine and liquors you must go to a government store (Société des Alcools). Many restaurants have a liquor license; in some areas, notably Prince Arthur and around Duluth Street, restaurants do without a license and customers can bring their own wine, reducing the expense of the meal. This is not universal and you must look for the "Apportez votre vin" signs.
Please don't drink and drive.
Smoking is not permitted in restaurants, nightclubs, cafés, the metro & buses, in most shopping centres, grocery stores, cinemas/theatres, elevators, in government offices or in banks - in fact, it's banned practically everywhere. You must be 18 years or older to buy tobacco, but in practice this is not enforced as firmly as the laws about buying alcohol.

A welcoming, sometimes boisterous Irish tavern, Donovan's Pub has commandeered the corner of Roosevelt Avenue and 58th Street in Woodside as far back as locals can remember, and it has been known as Donovan's since 1966. Behind the beer-centric bar is a Celtic labyrinth of rooms with tall dark-wood booths, tiled floors, stained-glass windows, and fireplaces.
Donovan's is more than an archetypal pub for old-school types. It serves, arguably, the best burgers in the five boroughs: Juicy, flavorful, char-broiled half-pounders, with home-cut steak fries.

This famous pub, in the village renowned for its tweeds and handknits, is a cosy, welcoming place in its seventh generation of family ownership, with five or six small rooms packed with bric à brac and plenty of tables and chairs for the comfortable consumption of wholesome home-made food, or a pint of Guinness.

McDaid's is a classic pub and the old haunt of Brendan Behan. McDaid's is a classic, traditional Dublin pub situated on Harry Street just off Grafton Street and across from the Westbury Hotel.
McDaid's has a distinctive Victorian exterior and when you step inside you find an old style bar with a high ceiling and a smattering of chairs and tables. The dimly lit bar has all the atmosphere of a classic Irish boozer, a secretive shrine to the art of convivial conversation and the latest gossip.
McDaid's serve a fine selection of beers, their Guinness is second to none and their service is of the highest standards. McDaid's has proven to be very popular with tourist, students and discerning locals and is always packed to the rafters at the weekend.
McDaid's has retained its character by not changing its essential design, its still looks pretty much the same as it was fifty years ago. There is no loud music, much bubbling conversation and a very friendly clientele.
McDaid's played a part in Dublin's literary history as the local of playwright and novelist, Brendan Behan. McDaid's became the centre of a new generation of writers in the 1940s and 1950s who met in pubs in reaction to the quaint lives of older Irish writers.
McDaid's was also the one time haunt of Patrick Kavanagh, Flann O'Brien, J.P. Donleavy and Liam O'Flaherty. It is said that Behan based some of his characters in The Hostage and Borstal Boy on publicans he met in McDaid's and Donleavy's main character in The Ginger Man was supposed to be based on McDaid's regular, Ganor Christ.
So whether you want to soak up the atmosphere of old literary Dublin or just have a soothing pint of plain, check out McDaid's on Harry Street.
Inside the Tir na nÓg Irish Bar in downtown Philly. In a city that has an abundance of Irish bars, the Tir na nÓg claims to be the most authentic. Although quiet in the Sunday evening when we visited, the pub oozed character and the bartender was welcoming. I chose a Sullivan’s Black Marble Stout, brewed in Kilkenny.
Tir na nÓg refers to a mythical Land of the Young, an island Eden off the West Coast of Ireland that was ruled by the Thuatha de Dannan, the last gods and goddesses to rule Ireland.
You don't need a sign to find the Irish pub in Berlin's Europa Center. The crowd noise leads the way. Berliners love the Irish.
Located on the Freedom Trail at Faneuil Hall opposite City Hall on Union Street, The Purple Shamrock offers Irish and New England specialties by day, and live music, karaoke and DJ's by night. Named for James Curley's Jamaicaway house, known in in his time as "the house with the shamrock shutters", the pub sits within a long toss of Curley Mall, which houses two statues of the former mayor, governor and congressman.
It seems like there are Irish Pubs all over Germany. What's funny is they are usually called "Irish Pub". A friend of mine loved this one at the Europa Center off the KuDam. I never really understood why she liked it because it's pretty lame. From the weblog: theberlinimage.blogspot.com
Group of friends eating seafood and having fun outside with musicians playing in the background at Johnnie Fox's pub, Dublin. I do not usually upload photographs that are not mine. This photograph was supplied to national and international media by Failte Ireland in order to promote the Dublin as a tourist destination.
