McNally's Irish Pub

There's a good chance that McNally's Irish Pub is older than your mom.

Seriously, as of this year, they are celebrating their 80th Anniversary--pretty great for a business in the Rockridge district!

Snarky, witty, insane bartenders really set the scene-- and there's always a fair mix of alcoholics, party-girls, depressed people trying to forget their lives, stuttering intellectuals, and new friends!

Bathrooms are less-terrifying that one would think.

The Back-room is on and poppin' for private events, if you so wish.  This large, wooden, smallish-barn-enclosure is decked out with posters throughout the past 80 years of McNally's purveyance of alcohol (essentially since the end of prohibition!!)

Oh, did I forget to mention the smoking alley-carport area out back that boasts outdoor furniture and a working TV? Ya, smoke on smokers!

Winston Churchill said that one of the primordial human joys is found sitting in a dark Irish bar while enjoying a pint on a beautiful sunny day.  
Or was it was James Joyce or Mark Twain...
OK, You can quote me if you like.

This is where you want to be next St. Paddy's day..2014, cuz this year it was rocking. Fun crowd, not too young, not too old.
