PUBS

In Ireland, the heart of any community revolves around the happenings of local public houses, or pubs. Young and older folks meet in the pub to relax, tell stories, hear music, sing a bit, and simply share good times. What characterizes a good Irish pub?

  • Irish proprietorship
  • Traditional construction
  • Eclectic wooden interior, often furnished with antiques
  • Plenty of Irish stout, ale, and spirits on hand

Below are some of Lexington's Irish public houses.
