Traditional Irish Pub Thread - Americans fleeing Trump welcome!

[Spud]

We recently discovered a growing population of Paddys on the guild and so we do what every Irish person does, we built a traditional Irish bar on the guild because we thought it would be fierce Craic.

We're a friendly folk who love to have the bants, so pull up a chair and grab a pint (soft drinks if you're under 18, wouldn't want to piss off the gardai now!).

First rounds on me!! Introduce yourself, oh and before I forget, Cead mile failte!!!

Welcome to The Baked Potato* (bar name subject to change).
I'm your Landlady, Spud, I've travelled all around but now I live up North on weekdays and down south on weekends, if you wanna know how the craic is in the Midlands or how bad the traffic into Dublin is on a rainy Monday morning, I'm your gal!
There's a tip jar over there so if you're feeling generous after a few schoops, drop in some euros or a comic books (Spud is team Cap btw ).

Today's menu is ... Potatoes and cabbage because we're fucking Irish lad!!! And a pack of tayto after if you're good!
All our Americano friends on the guild, where abouts in Ireland will you be moving to when fleeing the Trump presidency? Come chat with us!!!

@Spud
Can that first post get anymore Irish? :P

Also annoying the Gardai is good craic! A little bit of drink at 17 never harmed a soul!

[Gowi]

I am so glad I brought two potatoes together.

@NarcissisticPotato

Ah yeah, sure a wee sup at 17 never harmed a soul, but there's to be no knacker drinkin in here now!! And leave the tractor parked if ya have a pint, no drinking and driving now.

@Gowi your first pint is on me! What'll it be? Baileys a Guinness? A sup of poitin if you're feeling hardy!

I have been torn away from my land of FREEDOM and forced to travel with my meager supply of twelve guns. My rations of quarter pounders are running low, and I've been forced to eat one of my bald eagles for sustenance. The only thing keeping me going is humming the 'Star-Spangled Banner' while I cry into my Stars and Stripes pillow. I plead with you, people of whiskey and 'taters, to give refuge to a poor spirit on her last straw of luck.

[Rynko]

Some fisherman took my bacon toothpaste in exchange to take me to Ireland and all I have left now is my hamburger phone and a camera with potato quality.

Can I use my potato quality camera for a real potato?

[pugbutter]

How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman?

Answer

None.

@Fubsy

My heart bleeds for your plight Fusby, please, pull up a chair you're very welcome here. Dya like cabbage? I'll get Mary to get you some colcannon, and we've still some brack leftover from Halloween, sit by the fire a mo and we'll get ya a feed!!! You'll have to talk to the gardai about the guns though friend, the laws here are a bit stricter! How many bald eagles have you got left? They love nature here, sure the eagles will fit right in and start tweeting with Cork accents I'm sure!!!

@Rynko

A camera, even of potato quality, does not provide the same sustenance of a good Irish spud. Come in, come in and we'll give you a complementary gift basket of floury spuds!!!

@pugbutter

Thats incredible offensive. Get out.

Jk, that actually happened. We have pizza now though so the potato famine won't be as lethal if it ever happens again!

I heard the word Irish pub and I came running.

[BrokenPromise]

Ugh... "another" hang out thread? Did we really need this?

YES WE DO!

I'm a little disappointed in the lack of spinning bar stools, but meh, the atmosphere is so good I don't think i'll miss them. Seriously, it feels like St. patty's in here, and that's still five months away.

About me? Uh, I don't think there's a whole lot to say about me actually. I am an american, I guess that's worth mentioning. However, I'm here for pleasure, not to escape. I mean I can appreciate the romance people see in the idea, it's just not for me.

And since we have so many potatoes in here, why don't we ferment them and make some... Vodka? *wink*

Also, where are the Irish beer maidens? Are you hiring? what sort of credentials do you need?

[Rhythmloid]

@BrokenPromise I agree with them! I wanna work here too!

[Inda]

I'm really disappointed that in this lucid nightmare I'm having that I can't get myself to fly. Can I have some whiskey instead?

@Rhythmloid

Don't run man, we're open late, take your time and stroll on in! Here have a seat and rest your legs!

@BrokenPromise

We can order in spinning barstools friend, I will see about uploading some floor plans at some stage, and we can even vote a jukebox song list (or would you rather a seisún band for a real authentic feel?) If we're REEEEALLY good, we might be able to get Kristian Nairn to DJ for us sometime! Are there any other requests?

Also, its Paddy's day hun ;) but we'll give you a pass on that one since you're new to the bar.

You're very welcome here in our cheeky little pub, whatever th occasion, whatever the reason, whenever the time ;) As for Potato beer, we have that BECAUSE IRELAND!!! It is poitín, and its feckin schtrong schtuff so it tiz!


I am the resident Irish beer maiden, unless you guys think I'm too manly, I for one think I look quite fetching in a short sparkly green dress, ever since I moved to the city I walk everywhere and have thighs that could deflect bullets!!! Ehhh, we can take on another beer maiden I guess, but first you have to learn the sacred oath that every single Irish person learns in school ... are you ready ... say it with me...

"An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas a mhuinteoir"
Here's a handy hint, "Aan vwill kad agum dull go dee aan leh-heh-rus a voon-tore", it'll get ya out of a pickle!!!

[Spud]

@BrokenPromise I agree with them! I wanna work here too!

@Rhythmloid

Put on your frilly green dress, learn the magic words and lets go lads!!!

I'm really disappointed that in this lucid nightmare I'm having that I can't get myself to fly. Can I have some whiskey instead?

@Inda

You can my friend, first round is on me since we just opened, but next time I'll be putting it on your tab!

[Rhythmloid]

@Spud WOW...just wow.... "An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas a mhuinteoir" don't think I don't know what that means!

[Inda]

@Spud

Thanks! I imagine my tab will get pretty darn hefty soon.

[Spud]

@Spud WOW...just wow.... "An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas a mhuinteoir" don't think I don't know what that means!

@Rhythmloid

It is an integral part of the Irish language, without it you WILL NOT get by. It is the core, heart of Irish vocabulary ... not one student in the entire country will /not/ know this phrase, hell it even crosses borders, I've come across it in the Ulster dialect of Irish too!

Well, slap on your paddy cap and your sexy stockings (puhlease, theres no way we aren't having sexy bar wenches in this classy establishment!!!) LETS GET TO WORK!!!

[Rhythmloid]

@Spud oh I know. I went to Ireland when I was really little and my parents took me to some school to check it out(do you know how weird it is being black and Irish at a school that's just Irish? It's like being the only caramel in a sea of white chocolate) At that time my Irish wasn't good I only knew a couple words like luch and brocalaí. (I was like 8) EVERYONE laughed at me because I didn't know what they were saying. All of my memories came rushing back. *Triggered*

Welp! Time to put on my uniform! :D

Ah, a Gaelscoil :D I went to a Deis School haha. Thats fascinating :D there are no Gaelscoils near me but its really great to see those kinds of schools promoting the native language :D I always miss the bi-lingual signs when I go North of the border :(
Sorry people laughed at you D:

I've totally forgotten all the Irish I knew aside from that tbh xD and "Aon focail dó focail trí focail eile!" hahahaha

This ad is how much Irish the average person knows here!

For context, Ciúnas bothar cailín bainne (the bit at the end) means "Quiet road milk girl" ... the lad is just sayin' utter bollax because aside from Gaeltacht areas, no one has a clue how to speak Irish x'D
