each to their own but really if you want to see an Irish pub go to Ireland ! and its nothing like those lepracaun grottos !
Sorry for the rant
TOTALLY agree with you. I don't go to the "Irish pub" in town on St. Patrick's Day, I go to my favorite one. Good craic is more Irish than green beer and a map of Ireland on the wall.

There are many around here, unfortunately. I call them "Shamrock Sports Bars"!

What a buch of auld crabbits around here today! First Irish dirt, now Irish pubs. 
Seriously, though -- there are good Irish pubs and bad Irish pubs. I've been to my fair share in St. Louis. McGurks used to be one of the best (they would even fly Irish musicians over from Ireland for the weekends), but I haven't been there in quite a long time, so I can't say how it is now.
I wouldn't judge all of them by a few. Sorta like judging all kilties!
I'll let you all in on a little secret -- Most Mexican restaurants aren't that authentic either.

Daz,
I can't say I've ever been in an Irish pub that served green beer, St. Patrick's Day or not.

I have. It's enough to weep. My culture boiled down to leprechauns and "Pog Mo Thoin". Ugh, St. Patrick's Day - a love/hate relationship.

Ditto Todd!
Around here it's the regular, run of the mill dives that do this during St. Pat's,
aiming towards the college crowd just up the hill.
