Sippity – I’m with you, how about burger joints, authentic stuff, like A&W Rootbeer, and other car dining experiences?

Lisa – I thought the idea of third place captured it really well.

Lori – I’m with you, I’m a craic junky now, no pun intended but once you know about it, you have got to follow through.

I loved reading this history of pub culture. My husband and I are on the look out for one in every place we travel, but there is nothing quite like going to one in Ireland. We were introduced to the concept of craic by the girl sitting next to us on the plane on our first trip over. Such an intriguing concept that you can’t ignore once you are there.

I like the idea of a third place. I hadn’t heard of that before, but it makes a lot of sense. And, I agree, a bar is not the same as a pub.

The pub scene can probably never be repicated outside the UK and Ireland. But we have fully authentic American experiences, like… like.., um… err. Let me get back to you! GREG

Reeni – I’ll go with you! Wait for me.

Natasha – agree, there is something warm and cozy about them. We spent some time around the pubs near Trinity College and it was a lot of fun to take in the plans for the future companies – just like Silicon Valley, in fact.

Christine – Hmm, I am not sure I’ve been to an Aussie pub, can’t think of one of the top, shall have to seek one out for comparison sake. Can’t remember seeing the poker machines at the pubs.

Sophie – Thanks! How about a good Belgian pub, do you have something similar?

Erica – lucky you, the closest Irish pub here is really a sports bar, so definitely not the same ambiance.

We used to love going to a pub 10 minutes from my house.They had the best salads and sandwiches, but they close a couple months ago. It was a fun place with great music and delicious food:)

An excellent & great post this is!! I so love English & Irish pubs!! Here in Belgium, we don’t know the concept of a pub. Okay, we have irish pubs in Brussels, but it is not the same,..;

There are many Aussie pubs here. Don’t know if the Irish pubs would have some poker machines inside, just like the Aussie pubs.

We loved going to the Irish pubs for early dinners in Dublin, but they always kicked us out around 6 or 7, no kids allowed after that time.

How warm, cozy and welcoming! I’m packing my bags and moving to Ireland!
