Recreating Dublin’s Pub Scene in Long Beach

It's time for leprechauns, shamrocks, and those annoying 'Kiss me I'm Irish' t-shirts. Get ready to show your green or get pinched, as we approach the traditional Irish holiday of St. Patrick's. Day, 2010.

DIG magazine wants to give you the scoop on several Irish Pubs in our city that will definitely provide patrons with authentic Irish cuisine, great Irish drink specials, and a lot more than just your typical green beer.

The Auld Dubliner

Located adjacent to the Convention Center and Long Beach Arena on Pine Ave., Auld Dubliner prides itself in being one of the most authentic Irish pubs in the city.

"We're one of the most friendly Irish bars in the LA/Long Beach areas," says manger Chris Caldwell.

Everything from the actual building itself to all the furniture and facade have been directly imported from Ireland. "We really focus on recreating the Irish pub atmosphere in America, and I think we do a good job of it," continues Caldwell.

Auld Dubliner is located at 71 South Pine Street. (562)-437-8300


Clancy's

Clancy's has the vibe of a dive bar but readers should not take this as a put down. Located on the corner of Broadway and Alamitos, this is not your typical hole in the wall.

"This is a great place to have cocktail or a meal, and we serve breakfast lunch and dinner," says owner Mark Dana.

Clancy's fits both the older and younger bar crowds with its casual atmosphere. The drinks are stiff and the food is affordable. This is a place both old timers and college students will enjoy.

Clancy's is located at 803 E. Broadway Ave (562)437-1836


Gallagher's

Just down the street from Clancy's is Gallagher's, another local favorite Irish Pub. This joint has the feel of a friendly tavern, and is decorated throughout with soccer memorabilia and vintage posters paying homage to Guinness, Norte Dame University and St. Patrick's Day. This place is for sports fans as they have six TV screens all showing soccer and rugby.

Gallagher's offers Harp, New Castle, Guinness, Pyramid Haywire, Sierra Nevada, Fat Tire, and Smithwick's Irish Ale on tap, along with a plentiful variety of everything from vodka, tequila, ciders, wine, mixed drinks and of course, Irish whiskeys.

Gallagher's is located at 2751 E. Broadway Ave (562)856-8000
