Best Irish pubs in the world


The Irish times, have run a feature on the best Irish pubs, in the world. They did actually ask me for some input

Here are my top picks

Desmonds New York City,

I did not want to go in. My brother knew better, we spent five St Patrick days here. Meeting people
listening to the wolftones, drinking brooklyn ale.. watching a documentary about sectarianism, in Glasgow. Some one offered to by my shirt. Meeting people from HS, in. The two hours after the parade are epic

desmonds tavern


The Corkonian, Colonge

I discovered Germany from here. I spent a great St patricks here. A good Irish pub, should be a base. A safe place to explore, and strike out from. The Corkonian was that. I remember mentioning the Irish civil war, in a fit of academic distraction and the German waitress stepping back.

Jonos Ealing
Under it last manageress Bridget. This was my home from home. I could be found at the penultimate seat at the bar, if it was the quiz, take your pick, or listening to Free McGuinness. Here we were.
Its a family tradition to go to Jonos if relatives from home come to visit, or if there is an all Ireland

Fitzgeralds Charlotte NC,

Website for Fitzgeralds

 I watched the infamous Henry handball football match here. Again another aspect of an Irish pub, A place to catch up on things, A place to get up to speed, even if your in the Deep South. Popular with a younger crowd. So get there earlier if you want a quiet pint

For number five, I could mention Cassidys in Corpus Christi, Why because we met interesting people there. Though the beer, and the music I forget. An Irish pub, in Hawaii, well it said it was Irish, and I kept knocking the waitress over, and the Dusseldorf Altstadt.....

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
