Pubs by Donderjaeger

I was told to see all the good Irish music at the local pubs. Well, back in 1993, they rolled the sidewalks up at 8pm, though an Irishman could still stagger from pub to pub until they closed at…10!! LOL

St. Patty's 2005 by 6thboro

My Girlfriend, my brother, myself and some other Americans were the only people in “the Hobbit bar” on St. Patty’s day who didn’t know the words to some traditional Irish song when it came on the juke box. Everyone else sang along, but we felt left out. The next song that came on was “Living on a Prayer.” We were the only ones who sang to that song. Ha ha. It was awesome.

Weather, Locals, Drunks, not the best time by Bobbi

Out of all the european cities I’ve visited, Cork ranks lowest on the list. Part of this may have had to do with the weather…atrocious winds and rain, but also that a friend of mine was nearly sexually assaulted by a drunken local. That put a damper on the night.

We had a nice time in the pubs we visited, and it was enjoyable taking a bus to Blarney Castle, but Cork wasn’t as exciting as we had hoped it to be. We visited in November, not the best month to visit as most tourist sites were closed for the off season. Additionally, our hostel was the worst accomodation-wise we’ve stayed at. The Kinlay house…beds were terribly uncomfortable, and a group of high school aged students kept everyone up until 3 or 4 each night, and the workers on duty did nothing until someone complained. MAybe it was a string of unlucky happenings, but this was not our favorite stop. We wouldn’t visit again. Killarney is a different story though.
