Blarney Tavern

Don' t take this review too seriously because I was pretty well stoned when we went in -- the other reviewer said it all well.  I don't even remember what I drank there -- probably rum.  Suprisingly there was a big buffet of soul food which I think was free

Still $5 for great strong drinks including Bacardi.
Nice and quiet during the afternoon

I gave it a sentimental 4 stars, this is my local Irish pub, though, don't let the name fool you, there's nary an Irishman in sight, haha. This is a ghetto ass bar, as ghetto as they come, hipsters talk about dive bars like Mars Bar gathers the skeaviest of Skid Row but it doesn't compare to a place like this, this shit is divey, it doesn't pretend to be in a bougie neighborhood.

That said, the prices are dirt cheap, 2 bucks for a draft of Bud (it's the only thing on tap, I was there last night and they ran out, so it was bottles after that). I came here for my b-day ages ago and they gave us, my three cousins and I, four Rounds of shots on the house (make sure you read that carefully, the bartender had each of the rounds with us) and charged us like ten bucks for 3 rounds of beer, if you tip (and I don't mean generously, just tip, period) then a buyback will surely come your way.

The patrons are mostly locals and although they may look rough and tumble, don't let that fool you, they're there to have a good time and are welcoming, for the most part. Let's just say this place ain't for the faint-hearted.
