Epicurious "guide to Irish pubs"

"Six of the best new Irish pubs" or maybe the ones to stay away from, now that they've gotten this exposure

Dang. Not one of them is anywhere near me.

Though, if I ever have an excuse to go to Chicago, Lady Gregory's looks AWESOME. That style is almost exactly in line with my own tastes.

Interesting, though, that Lady Gregory's is in the Andersonville section of Chicago which is the traditionally Swedish Neighborhood.

Not a complete list, missed Hurley's in Montreal.

*sigh*

I have a hard time abiding by any "Irish Pub" that serves corned beef and cabbage spring rolls. That is some Bennigan's/Applebee's crap, if you ask me.

Now, if anyone is in the Tampa Bay area - Dunedin has Flannigans - ran by the Cooney family, with deep roots, and great food.

On the other side of the water, Four Green Fields is nice - I'll be there the day before St. Pat's "beating the rush".

***. Went there once and it was a truly amazing experience.

I was surprised that there was only one in Boston they even wrote about...the very last.

Obviously the author is just another coastee. The only mention of anything in the Heartland was Chicago and that barely qualifies. She should get out more. I vote for Barnett's in Waco, Tx and for the pub just two blocks from the Federal building in Seattle (I forget it's name).

I did some military "2 weeks a year" duty a few years ago in Boston over St Patrick's Day (I know "oh the pain") and I can say that getting into a Irish Pub can be difficult in the least.

They may have taken that into account. Getting into anything in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace is a pain.

Anytime I've been abroad in the last few years, I've tened to stay away from "Irish Bars" they just tend to be so tacky and almost embarassing. Nothing what an actual pub is like at home.
But saying that, I've never been to Boston, so they may have a better class of pub there.
