It was sunny looking in one direction and raining in the other. Should we walk? We did. I hit drizzle for a short bit, but it was mostly dry. So today’s walk theme is “Pubs I Pass”. Now, if I walked in the afternoon and stopped in every pub, I would never make it home. Heh, I wouldn’t make it halfway. And this is not all the pubs in Dingle Town. I can take a different route and pass many more.

Here’s an accounting of what’s in the photo gallery:

Marina Inn – We may have been in here, but, if so, it was years ago

James Long Gastro Pub – We had lunch here last year sitting outside in the sun

Paudie’s Bar – Somewhere on the blog is a picture of me sipping Guinness at an outside table.

John Benny’s – a favorite place of ours’s for lunch

Murphy’s – We used to go here a lot but rarely visit anymore (Sorry, Billy & MIanne)

Paddie Bawn Brosnan’s – Paddie Bawn was an old Irish football legend, long dead. I go here usually once a trip for a pint and I think Elaine joined me once.

Hannie Agnus – a local hangout where I don’t think we have ever been.

Dick Mack’s – Probably the most famous pub in Dingle. It was once and technically still is a leather good and shoe shop as well as a pub. They now brew their own beer. Very popular tourist spot with a walk of fame out front with stars of people who have visited.

Curran’s – one of my favorites. You can watch travel write Rick Steves interview the owner, James Curran, on Facebook here.

Foxy John’s – Rent a bike, buy a hammer or wrench, and have a pint.

Adam’s Bar – Seems to be closed. Elaine and I have been in here.

Lord Baker’s – Alaine and I ate in here with her parents, Doc and Lena) 23 years ago.

Paul Geaney’s Bar – Paul, the owner, is the brother of our friend Tom Geaney who runs the Dingle Pub next door.

The Dingle Pub – My local. You already heard all about it

Ashe’s Bar – We eat dinner here every trip and love it.

Walker’s Bar – I’ve never been in and I’ve never seen it open.

Nelligan’s – Very good local music venue. We’ve been a few times.

An Droichead Beag (The Little Bridge) – It’s been ages since we’ve been in here. Caters to a young crowd with loud rock music.

The Courthouse Pub – We have been in. Very low ceilings. I cannot stand straight up in about 3/4’s of the pub.

The Dingle Distribution Point (Not a pub, but it seemed relevant)

Bob Griffin’s Pub – Fairly small and fairly new. I’ve never been in.

O’Flaherty’s – If you don’t recognize this one, then you haven’t been reading the blog.
