And just see if you don't feel like dancing a jig after a couple rounds of the Chieftains. However, I think I also need to point out that the bar is extremely bright. As in, enough to interrogate suspects. It's the first thing that strikes you upon walking into the bar, and probably the last thing you think about when leaving, blinking blindly in the darkness of the night. Yanks come with curry to make a nice, salty, late-night snack.
Work is the curse of the drinking class.
Oscar Wilde Cock and Bull 6330 Gaston Ave. The Cock and Bull is probably the most authentic Irish pub in Dallas, in the sense that the Irish are all about homey comfort. The jukebox houses a great collection of traditional Irish music, but it did not interrupt the private conversations that were taking place throughout the bar. A great place to go for a quiet drink or five. Little Dublin 2614 McKinney Ave.
