M M Mulligan's

Mulligan's is usually a safe bet.  Most of the time it's not too crowded and you can actually get a drink there in record time versus some of the more populated Main Street bars.  It's just at the end of the Main Street circus, and often it's a relaxing alternative.  My friends and I go there to play darts or shoot pool.  You can put money in the jukebox and actually hear your songs within a reasonable amount of time.  

As for the negative:

Sometimes it smells funny, and not in a "ha ha" way.

They have an Irish look about them - shamrocks and whatnot - but no Guinness on tap.  WTF is that about?

I ended up staying at Mulligan's for a good hour or so on a Saturday night out in Main Strasse- it was totally unplanned, but after coming in and out of several crowded and smokey bars, Mulligan's was a nice spot to hang out. It's definitely a dive bar with average drink prices. There is nothing fancy going on but there is a back room with a pool table, and the high ceilings makes it feel pretty open and spacious. It's a good, low-key place to have some drinks, and seems slightly off the beaten path of the usual Main Strasse crowd.

Mulligan's is one of many bars located in the Main Strasse district in Covington, KY. It's not the prettiest bar, the popular or even the most interesting but it's comfortable and mostly friendly. The last few times I stopped by to Mulligan's, it was during festivals so the bar was packed with the usual mix of 20-30 something area residents. The wait for the bar was far too long. On slower nights this is a great place to shoot some pool or darts with friends.
