Profile

Supposedly, Paddy Reilly's was the first and only all-Guinness draft bar in the world. Today they have nothing on tap except Guinness, Bud and Bud Light. Furthering the Emerald Isle pride, this Irish pub also has  Celtic rock on weekends. Dying to show off your uilleann-pipe skills? Wednesdays and Saturdays are open-mic; if you’re feeling shy, stop by on Friday to see the house band, the Prodigals. 

Live Music

Thursday, 10:30 p.m.–1 a.m., traditional-oriented Irish music; Sunday, bluegrass performers, 5 p.m.–8 p.m.
