This is undoubtedly the most Irish (or at least IRA) pub I have ever entered in the U.S., and I am Irish! Every inch of the place seems to be plastered with materials- you can't get away from the martyrs- don't even try. There's also great art and photography everywhere. They celebrate St. Patrick's Day, of course- but they also celebrate Bobby Sands Appreciation Day- and if you don't know who he is I wouldn't ask there! That said, I found the people there to be friendly and funny- just what you want with your pint.
They do not serve food. At all. Because of this, they allow well-behaved dogs and have the occasional dog-related fundraiser upstairs. All in all, a truly unique and fascinating bar, one you imagine existing in its state 50 or 100 years ago. A treat to find it today.
