The Craic /the-crack/ n When you walk into a Pub and everyone is having a good time, but not only that; they embrace you into the conversation at hand, the bartender is both engaging and amazing, and it feels impossible to close out your tab due to the incredible atmosphere.

Craic Addict /crack-add-ict/ n A human being who seeks the Craic. Someone who knows that not all Irish Pubs have any Craic at all, despite having a beautiful building. Typically, one in The Drunken Mallard community, who wants to receive about one email per week to be informed when The Drunken Mallard has stumbled into a new Pub.

The Lodge Tavern. Chicago, Illinois

'Twas a woman who first led me to The Lodge. I never did write to thank her. This may be the coziest Pub in all of Chicago.

D4 Irish Pub. Chicago, Illinois

This Pub isn't for everyone, and that's my favorite thing about it. It delivers a proper atmosphere with its own library. Check this out.

Murphy's Bleachers. Chicago, Illinois

Cubs fans have a fun spot to watch a few innings, here. However, can a Reds fan have just as good of a time? We gave it a try.

Cork Harbour Irish Pub's Curb Appeal of Pittsburgh, PA

Cork Harbour Pub. Pittsburgh, PA

It's a cozy Pub with magnificent natural lighting during the morning shift. 4 Guinness Taps behind the bar with a significant amount of Craic! If only there was a steel tip dart board here...
