Swift Hibernian Lounge: You have to hand it to these guys; the owners of the quaintly named Puck Fair/Ulysses/Swift trio have got this Irish pub thing down. Dark wood everywhere? Check. Long plank tables? Check. High-backed booths? Check. Thematic mural? Check. Extensive list of draft beers, with an honest Guinness pour? Check, and check. It all adds up to a slightly dungeonesque feel that makes it easy to lose track of time here. Luckily, that’s what most people come here to do. The crowd is a bit more grown up than the “Woohoo! It’s Friday, let’s get shitfaced” masses that can mob Puck Fair (which might also explain why Swift explicitly does not do bachelor parties), but a shuttle bus running between the three sister pubs ensures there will be at least some commingling. |
