I grew up in Boston - I think we have the monopoly on Irish bars.  Anyway, Nine Fine Irishmen is alright - they serve Guinness, but it's bloody expensive (too expensive).  It's got an interesting decor, gets a bit crowded, and live Irish music is always a treat.  Anyone out there that is sick of spending big bucks on Newcastles, head down to the old Barbary Coast for 99 cent ones - draft beers, it's all the same.  Not a place I would want to camp out in, but this bar would do to kill an hour or two.
