We found about this Irish Pub up the road from us. So we ventured up there one evening for a pint and some Irish banter.

On the brochure this pub is the only Irish owned and run bar on International Drive (A Long Road).

As we entered shyly, the place looked dingy (a good start), then a guy behind the bar in a green T-Shirt and hat, so far so good. We walk to the bar, not shy anymore because it's like we're home.

Then the bar man says (in the most american accent), "what I can I get you folks". My heart jumped, reality kicked in, and then my mouth kicked in, "What the fuck?", I blurt, "Where's the Irish accent?", to which he replies, "...?".

Then a couple at the bar say (in a west ireland accent), "We were expecting the same thing...what a waste!!".

I calmed down with Heineken, and we chatted with them for a while.

So, to summarize. We went to this irish bar, it's called the lucky leprechaun, the bar man was an american shithead.

Mos failed to mention that the westerners we met were very nice an'all but we couldn't under stand a WORD the fella said most of the time. At one stage though, as he downed more and more pints he started telling us about the time he and his girlfriend got attacked whilst living in Dorset Street and began a racist rant about the blacks taking over Dublin. Nice company eh?
The place was packed with scumbag english aswell.

I hope you didn't tip at the bar. It may be the American way, but it wouldn't be authentic.

God Damn it. I did! Only a dollar tho. Not much when we spent just under €20 there.
