London Pubs for Irish New Year - March 17

[Numbers]

T'aint the Irish new year, its Saint Patricks Day!

[/Irish Mode]

I see it differently... it shall henceforth be known as The Irish New Year.

I've decided, within myself, for myself, and those close to me.. .the day formerly known as Valentine's day will be forever known as Mr Pat's Day... and the day formerly knows as St Patrick's day will be The Irish New Year.

[/Irish Mode]

And the other two celebrations

ssshhhh...

I am indeed. I hail from the sunny south east, or.. the Irish Riviera as some would say.

How about you A Chara?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Isn't this International Pay To Advertise Guinness Day?

 

[maximilian ping]

kilburn is more antipodean now than irish, although there are still a few...stick with the o'conor tir na don, or whatever it's called

and now its more polish than antipodean. but there's still some red faced alky drunken irish old boys lolling around the high road for good measure

I can be found in East London these days, amongst all things Eastern European.

 

[Onket]

So where are we drinking then Tony?

 

[William of Walworth]

Let us know where you end up. We might very well drop in!!!

Repeated request here too!

 

[Mr Retro]

I thought it was settled? It's the Canterbury!

Free music all day, free bacon and cabbage at lunchtime, Cheltenham on the box - it's the day out of the year.

 

[Onket]

Unfortunately I'll be at fucking work all day anyway. Just interested in where people might be after work time.

The weather was fucking lovely last year too, doesn't look like it's going to be this year though!!

 

[William of Walworth]

I thought it was settled? It's the Canterbury!

Really? Was that in this thread, the decision? Was checking tony1798's posts and didn't see ... I guess I may have missed a key one though.

Oh well .... at the Canterbury, I may not survive the strictly Guinness-only choice** for all that long, but very happy to pop in for a while

**For anyone wanting drinkable beer!

 

[Numbers]

Shit... this thread still going, I had forgotten about it... but there you go.

I've changed strategy (festivitis strategist changist) for the Irish New Year as I'm not sure of my movements as yet, i.e. if I'm gonna be in this city, this country even...

the homeland is calling you see (choiceist changeist possiblyist)

 

[William of Walworth]

Damn!!

Was relying on tony for ideas ...

Help help we need suggestions ....

 

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

Yes, come on!!! Are there no Guinness testifiers anywhere around here??!!??!!

 

[Onket]

Well, the one me & Jung Offender went to last year was very good. Very busy though & we were stood outside, which was fine due to the weather being fine. Not sure what is forecast this year though.

The name of the pub escapes me but was correctly guessed by Derian earlier in the thread.

<Edit 2 add> The O'Conor Don

As far as I remember we were drinking on the pavement/street.

I have to be honest though, I don't even know if I can afford to be out on Friday cos I've got a leaving do on Thursday evening & Sultans of Ping/Tribe of Munt on Saturday & I don't get paid until Monday.

 

[guinnessdrinker]

it's going to be £1 a pint in my local....

 

[Numbers]

There's loads of good Guinness houses in London.

Craic House in Kings Cross
Toucan in Carlisle St Soho
Coach & Horses in Covent Garden
Captain Morgans in Brentford

to name but a few...

Well, they're the ones I go to for a nice Guinness, but wont be in any of them on Friday...

I'm <fingers crossed> hoping to be drinking Guinness in Bugler Doyles on Wexford Main St.

Only taking the piss WoW, trying to force my suggestion through, it wasn't settled. Just trying to get ye to come to my local.

But if you do go you'll enjoy it and would love to meet you all.

 

[William of Walworth]

It's looking a good chance, I know acid priest was thinking of it too

Well I will be central for most of the day then heading down to Jamm ‘cos it’s the Basement Jaxx night. Will be very drunk
