  What is Irish Pub?

 

 One Irish man says, " For Irish people the pub is like the dinner table or the 

restaurant or cake is for French and Italians. It is a place to meet friends and talk and tell stories and sing and listen to music. However as Ireland has changed a lot in the last twenty years it is important to make a distinction between traditional and modern pubs. 


Traditional Irish pubs are like people's homes. There is a fire in the corner, it is quite dark and cozy. Traditionally everybody has a local and regular pub where they know the other customers, will usually sit in the same place and the barman will know your name, your drink and maybe your family.


Modern Irish pubs look a lot different, they are often similar to pubs anywhere else in the world. However many new pubs are built in the style of the traditional pub and many old pubs have remained unchanged so you can still find the traditional atmosphere if you want it.


I think Irish people spend so much time in pubs because we like to socialize and to sing and dance. However, Irish people can be reserved and often will not talk to another person about how we feel. This is why the pub is perfect. Once we get drunk we have no problem talking about these things and friends can be made easily. Of course this can cause problems and alcoholism is quite common among the Irish.
Like everybody but maybe to a greater extent, we go to pubs to celebrate, to drown our sorrows, to meet people, to be on our own, to talk and to think. It is part of our culture and very important to Irish people."

 

People who like Irish pub would be attracted to not only Irish alcohol but also cozy atmosphere and that time goes slow.  Irish pub makes a mood we can chat with a person sitting next. This is Irish pub.

About Beer...

Pint is size of glass. Usually they have "a pint" or "half pint."

Generally Irish beer would mean "Guinness" in Ireland, but Japanese 

people are seemed to prefer "kilkenny" as I used to. However after 

having tasted "Guinness" in Ireland, without dought I got to like "Guinness".   

The reason is mixed taste with bitter taste and cream. That cream is 

no more beer. The difference of climate, temperature, and place might have 

caused it because I can't drink couples of pints as Irish do.

 (Irish people around me drink 5 or 6 or maybe more pints quite easily.) 

 

 

 

About Irish Whiskey...

I usually don't drink whiskey because I drank too much in about 18( Illegal !! 

Please don't tell my mum!) However, Irish whiskey is very tasty. It's not like Japanese

whiskey and tastes like soft and mild. I know some people who are crazy for 

Irish whiskey. I.W. might have some power to  attracts people 

 

 

 

About Cider...

This is my way: first drink beer and after that drink cider. Cider means soft drink in 

Japan, but this cider is hard cider made from apple. It tastes not too sweet and sour,

like soft drinks. However, because of it, I got drunk too much, so be careful.  

 

 

 

About Others...

My most favorite drink should be "West coast Cooler"!!, but I can hardly find it

in Japan. In Ireland, most pubs have it. It's kind of wine cooler and tastes sweet and 

clear. In Ireland I tried drink as much as I can because I can't drink so much in Japan.  

I like Irish cream liquor, too.  Baileys has some kinds of flavor like Butter scotch,

cafe, and more, but unfortunately it's also difficult to find them here.

 

 

Before Drink, Don't Forget Irish Toast!!
