Danny's Irish Pub

Maybe going on St. Patty's day was what made the experience what it was. But seriously, I did NOT expect an Irish Pub to have such POUNDING SPEAKERS! Granted it was the first Irish Pub I've ever been to... I think. But most places that advertise themselves as pubs - English, Scottish, what have you - have been more low key!
We ended up not being able to stand it for more than an hour, not only because of the music but because of the two black and white horror/thriller flicks that the two screens were showing... There was just no relief whatsoever!

I am hoping that it was a St. Patty's Day fluke that it was sooo BAD...

Will I be back? Only if I'm in the area and someone else insisted.

I can't think of a single person who likes a long narrow space that can get cramped. So I don't know why this place was built that way. Or why they kept letting people in when it clearly felt over capacity. Or why the people at the table we took left what looked like coins at first glance but was actually chocolate. Was that the tip they left? I have many questions.

On St. Patrick's Day, they had green beer and played Irish music -- complete with what looked like an electric violin, definitely the best atmosphere around for that day. Although it was cramped, the crowd was diverse and friendly as we chatted up with randoms.

I'd love to come back on another week night or weekend to check out the vibe then.

Danny's Irish Pub was a bit of a let down in terms of what one might expect on St. Patty's day. I went with some friends after midnight so maybe all the lore of green beer and Celtic music had died down but I felt more like it was Halloween. For starters, the two huge flat screen tvs were both showing scary flicks; Hitchcock's Psycho and King's The Shining.
Second of all, the jukebox is great but expect to get a good "scare" because there doesn't seem to be any volume control. Sometimes the music was just right and other times it felt like it blew out our eardrums! Yikes!
The bartenders were quick at getting our beers and we enjoyed ourselves but as other Yelpers have mentioned, the bar is very long but not wide so moving around is a challenge.
The bathrooms were a fun sight and actually cleaner than I expected.
So all in all, Danny's does not seem to have the "luck of the Irish" but maybe they'll do better around next time with another holiday like Halloween.
