Irish Village

This place is passionate about their beers and it shows. The bartender was very knowledgeable about beer. He even made me realize that I don't hate dark beers as much as I thought I did. I'm not sure about the food though, we didn't order any.

Went here for the first time last Friday night and liked it a lot. I wish I was in Brighton more because I'd definately come by. It's a townie bar but not the sketchy townies, more like actual Irish/old Boston people that are pretty friendly. There is also a jute box and they have cider from a Cambridge company.  I like how the bar is circular so there is plenty of room to order your drink without having to fight for a spot.  And the back area is great for a big party.

If you want an authentic Irish Pub, this is the place.  I went in with a guy from Germany so he didn't get any shock waves, I am part Irish and my best uncle in the world was off the boat from Cork so I grew up learning a lot about the Irish. We would sing seafaring songs, dance jjgs, make fishing nets, splice ropes, and thankfully he was not big in the drinking department, although he did stash a bottle of Irish Mist for special occasions.

Anyway, I waked in there and my uncle was sitting on every stool, I could hear the thick Irish Brogue and see the hard life faces of the working and retired men.  The older gent next to me was quick to start a conversation with us and he bought us a beer and told us some of his life story.

If I am ever in that area again, I will surely stop by for a cold one.
