About

Though physically in the city, Paddy Reilly's Music Bar seems straight out of the Old Country. Horseshoes, barrels and old-fashioned water pumps decorate this spacious Irish pub, and patrons of all ages gather nightly in front of a small stage to hear traditional Irish bands play their Celtic hearts out (Black 47 and the Chieftains got their starts here). Even the bathrooms, dubbed the "Hen House" and the "Tool Shed," have a quaint, old-time tavern feel. Claiming to be the first and only all-draft Guinness bar in the world, Paddy Reilly's boasts five taps, all of which take their sweet time pouring nothing but fine, semi-solid Guinness. The dimly lit pub is never quite full, but doesn't feel empty. Plentiful cushioned benches offer ample space to sit.
