I had no idea this was here! Â If my Irish blood ever craves some of its own people, or at least people who really want to be Irish, I usually venture to Murphy's/O Toole's/JJ Dolans depending on the taste buds. Â However, this year for St. Patrick's Day, I discovered Murphy's partners with Fergusons for free(ish) parking. Â Parking is free when validated with purchase from Ferguson's. Â SIGN ME UP
I very much enjoyed my Jameson and Ginger Ale. Â I stuck to the drink throughout the evening as I moved to each pub, but Ferguson's mixed it by far the best. Â It could be my Emerald Irish blood, but the drink was very refreshing. Â My partners in crime believed the drink was incredibly strong, but to me it tasted like a spritzer! Â (once again IRISH BLOOD HERE)
Since no one really knows about this place, or they aren't willing to venture two blocks down the road, it wasn't very crowded for how small the location was. Â It was the cleanest of the 4 pubs, which was decorated in a posh old world decor. Â They were selling corned beef sliders that day, which ruined me for all other food the rest of the day. Â What a genius idea! Â Why struggle to find a few seats together at a table to sit down and cut through your chunk of corned beef and pile of cabbage when you can walk around with a handy dandy mini sandwich in hand! Â My stomach growled while I tried to enjoy watching the drunken fools attempt an irish jig while running into every single person surrounding him. Â If it wasn't for Murphy's selling them for $1 cheaper, I wouldn't ran back to Ferguson's to pick some up. Â
If I worked/lived in this area, I have a feeling the hubs and I would spend a lot more time here for an Irish experience without the tourist feel.
