Can't talk about St. Patricks Day without talking about bars, right?

 Here are three of my favorite bars, and it's not because 
all three are in Ireland, but...  

This bar is on Main Street in Glenties, a wee (they say wee - we say tiny) town in Donegal County, Ireland. There's almost always a small crowd of locals/regulars at the bar day and night. No loud music, no loud TV's - except when the Donegal Football (soccer to you) team is playing.

Just a good, simple neighborhood pub that's been there for 26 years now. Qiute, comfortable and friendly - a classic Irish pub if ever there was one.

...  

This is The Crown Saloon in downtown Belfast - in the heart of the city across from the Europa Hotel. First opened in 1826, it's a tourist destination that's also a local favorite. The bar features tiny little cubbies with doors that close for privacy - they call them 'Snugs', and they're so popular you actually have to make a reservation to sit in in one. If you ever get a chance to go, ask for Michal - the 'Cask Master'  - a personal friend of ours.

 

...  

You know I've mentioned this place once or twice before, but it's really worth talking about a bit - today especially. This is the Duke of York - one of my top five bars in all the world - at least those parts of the world I have first-hand knowledge of. You’ll find it nestled along a narrow cobbled alleyway in the historic Half Bap area about 1/2 mile or so from City Hall, furnished with Belfast furniture and walls adorned with antique mirrors and artefacts from some of the city’s most famous hotels and buildings from bygone times.

It’s a time warp, which is why it is so well loved, and crazy busy. Step into this institution of  a bar, enjoy a local whisky or creamy ale or stout, and you’ll be treated to a glimpse of Belfast’s historical past.
