What can a person expect from such a nondescript bar as the "Irish Pub"? What it lacks in originality of name and decor, it makes up for with selection of beers, quality of music on the "jukebox", and the danger one feels when pulling money from the ATM...located conveniently next to the dart board. "Quelle dangereux mes amies!"
I had a good time in here. It's pretty plain, the prices are average, and my friends and I stayed quite a while playing darts while looking out onto State Street at all of the drunks stumbling by.
I'd recommend stopping in for a quick pint of Guinness or Smithwicks, especially if a live band is playing here...which looks like it happens some nights. I could see hanging out here and watching the eclectic mix of local students and old-timers walk in and out of the door. You can't put a monetary value on the entertaining drunks on State Street though.
