Officially, we now name the worst Irish pub in America

Too bad, the Spike program made it look like they really turned it around. Irish Pubs are very popular in the United States due to St. Patrick's Day Celebrations where they can throw a large party and make a lot of money. Most are owned by the Irish or named after someone of Irish decent. Other than Cinco de mayo for Mexican restaurants there is no other nationality that has a guaranteed cash cow bar day. Mardi Gras can be celebrated in any type of establishment. Irish pubs have a different atmosphere than your local lobby bar or Sports Bar, although many Irish Pubs are sports bars. They usually specialize in some of the basic Irish foods: Corned Beef and Cabbage, Bangars and Mashed and Shepherds Pie Irish Whiskeys: Jameson's, Bushmill's and some higher end Irish Whiskeys, & Irish Beers: Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's and Magners Cider. It is perfectly acceptable to think it is wrong for an Italian to say that his bar is a true Irish Pub. But what is an Italian Pub, normally Italian restaurants are for eating and drinking wine not boozing up during all times of the day and night.

Mamaginnty, I LOVED your post. God love this George Dillon loser character.

Because John Kin MD "a drunkard staggers in his own vomit" because the term "Irish bar"makes the word Irish and alcoholic synonomous. We all have to eat no matter what the ethniticity of diner or restaurant owner but we all don't have to drink thirdly its a way of controlling people as for instance the Roman phrase "drink Goth drink" Who you want to control you first make drunkI hope I've given just an inkling of why the term as well as the actuality of Irish bars should be done away with I could literally write a book on it but the conclusion of the argument is that Irish bars and banality are synonomous .Have a drink JohnKinMD have a drink

yakimak how is a non Irish person owning a Irish bar any different than a Greek running a Italian restaurant,it is a theme.

That's a real good idea, yakimak. And maybe they could recruit for bar staff here on Irish Central.

I think that if a beer joint is going to be called an " Irish bar" it should be owned by Irish people. I think that people opening these so called "Irish bars" is just another example of how low the Irish have prostituted themselves with this alcohol crap and now perhaps since we've had this first case reported of an Irish woman dying after having sex with a dog perhaps we should start opening up"Irish bar beastiaries" and complete the circle of inanity.

Now,Georgieboy, you know I can't ignore you. I'm afraid you're just going to have to put up with me. Hey, you'll have someone to sling nasty names at - one of your favorite things to do.

sirpeter aka antoman: I've looked up that word langer, and I see it means "p3nis" (don't know whether our prim schoolmarm IC will censor that word). I must say I've been called worse, though I would have expected a longer word.

Momma Ginnty: You're half right. I did report you--but it was for hate speech. But don't worry, it'll do me no good. IC accepts posts even from racists like joanxis. Say, Momma, have you heard they are talking of bringing back the Irish pound now that the euro has flopped? They're looking for people whose faces might adorn the one pound bill and represent Irish womanhood. Remember that for the old pound they had to get an American woman to symbolize Ireland. Don't let's have that happen again. Any chance you could post a pic so that we could see what a rale Oirish woman looks like?

joanxis: I asked you earlier not to try to contact me. I want no dialog whatsoever with racists. Go away.

YUK !

oh jasus, The first comment from G.D...I thought a slight change in his attitude for the better, holy mack how wrong can one get it, GoergefrigginDillon just cannot control himself, tis a bad sickness he has. GoergefrigginDillon who on this earth gives you the right to say how much money a person has or has not, to the people below who have been verbally abused by GfrigginD do not take any heed to this.. manic depressive brain dead bullying slimy piece of pig manure, Ah....I feel better now, but GfrigginD will probably report me to IC. for verbally abusing him now, well I don't give a friggin sh.. what he does. He has been asking for it, for a long time.

I see that you're at it again, Georgieboy. Maybe it's you that can't read. Kitty called you a grump, not a grimp.

Georgy boy you're a langer and a twat rat.(See Cork Slang)

robertsweird--Don't talk garbage. You couldn't afford to buy that place, you don't even have enough money to pay for the rats. Oldtimers like you should stick to your daydreams. And by the way, the next time you address me--which I hope will be never--knock off your stupid Philadelphia slang. You're not in a booze joint on Market Street now.
