| - If you are looking for a place to meet up with friends, then run, don't walk, to McMullan's Irish Pub. Maybe I was high from winning $50 on bingo earlier that night (HUGE winnings from someone who usually gambles about $1 per Vegas trip, on penny slots no less), but I was really taken with this little gem of a place. It's such a well-hidden secret that I'm guessing the only the locals go here, but once you step inside, you will be transported to the Emerald Isle. The pub is run by an Irish gent, and hey, my waitress was Irish too, so there are some authenticity points.
I played a show on this particular evening and the crowd was enthusiastic, polite, and focused on the music. (I guess my expectations were that of playing to a bunch of rowdy footballers (so maybe the pub is not THAT authentic). I sold some cds, met some new fans, and sat back to watch the headlining band Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Things got particularly raunchy when they covered "Baby It's Cold Outside". I mean, hey, they also play a song called "Got So Drunk I Crapped Myself" and have an album called "Christmas Songs for drunken Athiests" , so you kind of know what you're in for. Darby O'Gill is the house band...make sure you get there on a Wednesday night to check them out.
What to order: Guiness, a Veggie Burger, and Mashed Potatoes (w/ a sprig of Rosemary).
