Durty Nelly's Irish Pub

It's spring break at UF so it's kind of slow this week but you can't beat $6 Killians pitchers. This is one of my favorite bars in Gainesville. They often times have live music and a pool table in the back. It is much more relaxed than many of the bars in the college town. The low ceilings give it a homely feel. They have a good selection of draft beers that are reasonable priced. It is located on University Avenue in downtown Gainesville, very close to historic downtown. I will be going back to this bar. It is also roomy with plenty of tables and bar stools. Go enjoy a beer at Durty Nelly's!

I imagine that if I lived in Gainesville, this would probably be my regular hangout. I believe an employee called it Gainesville's only Irish pub, and if that's true, then that's some appeal right there. It also has some of the cheaper prices, cooler bartenders, and better regular crowds. As a show space, it's pretty darn good for a small venue, but I don't know what their typical shows are like. I've had some of my best times at Fest at this venue, and the staff and space itself are always a big part of that.

Michelle H. took the words right out of my brain,

"Close your eyes and think of every Irish Pub you've ever been in. Add a dungeon/basement feel.

That's Durty Nelly's."

I was here for Fest 10. The bartenders were kind.
The steps in the back were great for our group to sit and take a load off while listening to Banner Pilot rock the place.
