Ever wonder what pubs in Ireland are like on Friday nights? Are they filled with cheerful revelers celebrating a long week of work? Does everyone take shots of Jameson; down pitchers of Guinness? Do the bartenders nod at the regulars? Do members of the opposite sex flirt shamelessly? Are the bars in Ireland truly special places, everything you've ever wanted in a local pub? Or are they different from the Irish pubs here?
