In all honesty, the rating should be more like 3.5 or so. This is an example of a great little neighborhood bar - friendly patrons, good drinks at a reasonable price, great people watching, and all in a easy to reach central location. The one and only complaint is about the snotty DJ this past Saturday night that was too busy to talk about requests. "I'm not playing right now" was the response...then turned away. I don't know how hard it is for the Shamrock to find someone with a personality, but that single interaction has me saying they are "OK" and not better. Other than that.... :-)
