Do they have good Irish pubs like this in Australia? Unfortunately, so-called Irish pubs in America are often nothing more than sports bars and Irish in name only. San Francisco has the best and most authentic pubs by far on the west coast, everything else here is "fugazi".

No nothing like the ones in Ireland with the traditional Irish music. Some of the Irish pubs are not even owned by Irish or anyone with connections to Ireland.

You have to go to Ireland for a real "Irish" pub.

This is fantastic. Dolan's Pub in Limerick. This is the traditional Irish session that you just don't get anywhere else.

I was in Salzburg and in Linz in Irish Pubs, dont know if the owners were actual Irish though or Austrians, i had a guiness, it was good, i liked the place... the atmosphere... i think in austria it is rather a "white place" didnt saw any arab or asian looking people or blacks....
