    I've been drinking here for 11 years & a partner for 8. Guinness here is sublime, but the pub features 16 taps, 7 local brews & the best Fish & Chips I've had since England. Manic about fresh beer.

    Remarkable Irish pub disassembled near Dublin and now installed on 6th Street just across from the remarkable Driskill Hotel where I have always stayed since 1973. Most authentic pub in Austin.

    Great atmosphere in this Irish pub. Check out the live music or come with some friends for lunch and a beer! Decent menu of traditional/non-traditional irish food!
