So, my friends and I were going to the Sun National Center for an event, and they wanted an adventure. (Isn't there always adventure in Trenton??)
Anyway, we found this quaint Irish pub in the middle of town, and had some beer.
This place could not be more authentic Irish pub, right down to the barkeep with the accent!
Total dive, but great atmosphere. I bet if you grew up around this place, you know everyone. I'd go back!
Please note, I would not exactly recommend going here if you are unfamiliar with the area at night. If you get lost, you can quite easily wind up in a bad section of town. Be safe, and yelp on!
Three words: Authentic Irish Bar
I wasn't sure about this place at first, mostly because it was blatantly obvious I was an "outsider." Â But as soon as one of the locals bought everyone a round of drinks and we all started joking around, I realized, "This place is pretty cool." Â
Will be back again.
This bar is hardcore - the true definition of an Irish bar. The mood and aura changed with the passing of Billy Briggs (RIP). I have some unbelievable memories of my time spent there. I knew I'd love this place when a friend asked for a drink menu and was told their choices were beer and whiskey.
Review Source:Holy cow this place is authentic. Â I thought that I had some Irish in me but these folks...the real deal with real musicians and a real Irish juke; have not even gotten to the stuff on the walls...I'm an amateur, vis-a-vis the locals here. Â We went to the "American" Irish place on Monday where our waiter was obviously from the Emerald Isle - after he chastised me about The Pogues being pop music, he told us about this joint. Â We went the following night and wound up closing out the week (as in seven days) with six straight at Tir Na Nog.
Highly recommended as long as you're (or can act as though) a good Irish Catholic. Â Nah, for anyone who appreciates authenticity.
you will stick to every surface of this dive. liquor in the front / darts in the rear. drinks come in two sizes... tall and wee. like there's any question.
the beer is good and all drinks are reasonably priced. the clientele are drunken and loud, friendly and argumentative, opinionated and sarcastic. in a word... irish.
my people.
