Talking about bars and pubs, of course.
The ocean harbor town of Dingle on the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry boasts the oldest bar in Ireland, although there seem to be differing opinions on that. Open the doors to Dick Mack’s and walk into a small pub, the bar on one side, which is well stocked with whiskey and beer. Sit at the bar or sit on the other side at the counter of the leather shop. So have a drink and watch while they make a belt or pair of wellies for you.
Paidi O Se was a Gaelic football player. This is his bar, so much memorabilia here and not enough time to take it all in. One tidbit is that Dolly Parton stopped here and did an impromptu performance.
With all this practice, we thought we figured out the difference between a pub and a bar. Pubs usually have food and bars don’t. That doesn’t always hold true, in Kruger’s but it general seems to holds true.

Fascinating! Their website says they have “good craic” pronounced “crack”. Masked US Federal officials are now on your trail…unless they googled “craic”….watch your back when you come back…
“Craic” (pronounced “crack”) is an Irish word that generally refers to fun, entertainment, good times, and lively conversation, often with a social element. It can also describe someone who is good company or a good laugh. Essentially, it encompasses the atmosphere of enjoyment and camaraderie, often involving music, banter, and a general sense of conviviality, especially when shared with others.
