Wow - what a typical pub. This was the most authentic Irish pub I found. The bar had just the right amount of locals standing around making just the right amount of local Irish men standing at the bar noise. The women came in groups for lunch and were mostly older, dressed conservatively. They sat at the tables off to the right, in front and a bit away from the bar. Off to the left, well in front of the bar, I sat in a half booth on a raised alcove that surrounded the fireplace.
The ambience was just right for my usual, a ham and cheese sandwich with tea. It was a perfect Irish lunch experience. And, for dinner or just a drink, being like the only place in town, town being like only one street, it is the place where everyone seemed to go.
