Spotlight On – St.Patrick’s Day

March 13th is St.Patrick’s Day, with celebrations starting the week before.   If you are renting away from home Mon-Fri, why not take time to soak up the atmosphere after work in an Irish pub near you.

London

Waxy O’ Connors

Set in the heart of the West End, the cavernous Waxy O’ Connors is rabbit-warren of four bars over six floors ranges from the gothic Church Bar to the fairytale Tree Room, but you can still find a cosy spot by the fire in the Cottage Bar. Wherever you manage to find a seat, the Irish pub’s lively clientele are always welcoming.

The Toucan

The Toucan, just off Soho Square is a purely Guiness experience! Walls are covered in Guinness posters overlooked by a trio of the busy tiny Irish pub’s namesake toucans, drink in hand, or perch on a stool designed to look like a pint of the black stuff. Guinness aside, the Irish bar also offers a good choice of whiskies.

 

Manchester

Mulligans of Deansgate

Mulligans is reportedly the home of Guiness in Manchester.  An authentic irish pub based in the centre of the city, you’ll find a great menu of irish classics including irish stew, traditional irish breakfast, an array of whiskies and of course a pint of the black stuff. 

O’Sheas Irish Bar

Standing on Princess Street, O’Sheas is a great Irish bar delivering the sights, sounds and tastes of the Emerald Isle to the lovely people of Manchester. With only a small sign signalling its location, you might have to keep your eyes peeled for O’Sheas; step inside however and you’ll know you’re in an Irish bar. Live music from Wednesday-Sunday, great pub grub and plenty of Guinness.
