Wait. Did I say libraries?
I meant pubs. In fact I haven’t seen a library since I’ve been here, but there is certainly no shortage of pubs – so plenty of options for a pint of the black stuff on St. Patrick’s Day. Come with me on a brief tour:
No messing about here. It’s a bar, and it’s Irish. No need to over-complicate things.
O’Reilly’s is a popular spot with a good location near Bugibba main square to entice thirsty Irish tourists. It’s also got a good pub-grub food menu and enormous cocktails in which you could comfortably house a family of (drunk) goldfish.
Murphy’s is a good old Irish bar, lots of live bands and suitably dimly-lit inside. And all the Guinness you can drink, though not one for the foodies, it’s a toastie or nothing kind of place. Like I said, a real Irish bar.
Not every Irish bar can be a roaring success though. It seems like it is possible to have too many Irish pubs in one town. Who would have thought it?
So last orders have been called for McCormack’s, Frankies and O’Connors, and you will need to look elsewhere for your pint of that black stuff this Paddy’s Day.
Great Post! Hope you enjoyed the craic (I’ve no idea if that’s how to spell it!)
Thanks Matt. Craic was good, as is your spelling!
