The traditional cornerstone of any town, a good Irish pub is a destination for multiple purposes; or for no reason at all. The publican (owner) knows and greets everyone with a warm handshake because he also engages with the community outside of the pub. A good Irish pub always has something for everyone: business lunches, family-friendly dinners, international soccer and rugby, karaoke, themed trivia nights, or Sunday brunches. Come in for food and spirits; leave with friends and memories.
