Post pictures of far-flung Irish pubs here

Old Town Square, Prague. To be honest I've avoided going in the times I have visited Prague.

Who the hell would visit Venice and think to themselves 'now what this place really needs is an Irish Pub'?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh *raises hand*

... tho, tbh, it doesn't have to be Irish, just a pub

There are so many Irish pubs in Rome, it's a bit odd.

It's the ones in places with genuinely great beer (Prague, Ghent etc) that are really unforgiveable.

Another one in Barcelona:

Does any other nation have such a strong set of national signifiers?

in fact best leave that, let's stick to pictures of pubs

Seems to be a dearth of Irish pubs on Antarctica, someone's missing a trick there

Allegedly Gili Trawangan (Indonesia) is the smallest island in the world with an Irish pub

No, apparently O'Kelly's really *is* an Irish pub at Guantanamo Bay. http://www.jtfgtmo.southcom.mil/storyarchive/2009/November/091203-bartender.html

I didn't actually go to this Irish pub in Santiago, I went to the other one (Fiddlers, of which there seem to be no pictures).

Wait, I think Velko posted that one... It came up in a search for Lima, but Cuzco is right. xp again

i like the place with "irish people night". the night they let the irish people out of their cages to cavort with the clientele.

Looking for Irish pubs in Nome, Alaska, I found New York Kitchen:

^ José O'Shay's - Cabarete, Dominican Republic

nice they've put up a banner with that charming old Irish greeting "Beach Access"

I've been to the one in Cusco! They serve good nachos. Guinness not so good.

Loving this thread, thanks to all!

Third time it's been posted in the thread. It must be the best. xp

i want to say "god fuck all these stupid fucking assholes who start or frequent all these dumb-ass far-flung irish pubs" but would that be as tiresome as the pubs themselves?

Montserrat to thread.

Patrick's Day a public holiday in Montserrat.

btw i did not mean to address ilxors posting in this thread, sorry!

also i don't know why they annoy me. maybe b/c it's usually white foreigners who go to these? because i really love and appreciate far-flung chinese, mexican, indian, vietnamese, peruvian, etc etc restaurants

oof!

they are bad tourist traps and total shitholes normally. i can remember being in prague about 12 years ago and the irish bar there charged irish prices for a beer, about 10 times (literally) the price of everywhere else.

in La Paz, Bolivia. I did not go to this bar (though I did eat llama at the "Swiss Chalet" there)

prob not a time for revelling in the plausibility of falsehood but there is something kind of amusing and interesting about the ease with which somebody might create something like that.

the hated british denied the poor irish their much-needed pint.

caveat wikipedia obv but this short paragraph has a couple of genuinely interesting sentences imo:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_pub#History

(also some details which the careless or hostile could might inflate into the great british pub ban)

(i actually have deadlined work today for tomorrow so naturally i am going to be spending most of it "researching" this eloquently storied social phenomenon)

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_pub#Worldwide: "They have establishments in over 53 countries around the world"

this sub-editor reliably IA at exact-yet-vague claims like these (more than 53 but less than 55?)

http://www.turtlebunbury.com/published/published_features/pub_feats_oldestpubs.html

some rare work on this page^^^, also

(i'll stop now, as this only respects the "far-flung" requirement in terms of time)

dont send clicks to turtle bunbury pls

good advice
