STEPPING FOOT INSIDE EVERY IRISH PUB IN AMERICA
What's up? I'm Clint. I bartend in Cincinnati, I'm the former mascot for the Cincinnati Reds, & I now travel the country visiting as many Pubs as possible. You'll also see me throwing darts if there's a board around. It's been a wild ride so far.
Here, you'll find articles about every single Irish Pub in America (well, the ones I've been to so far). I'm trying to find out who has the best Craic and who flat out sucks. Join me on my mission to explore each Irish Pub in the country. You can rely on me to pump out a new article or 2 every week! Slainte!
If you don't see your favorite Pub, feel free to send a recommendation!

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.
