Pub Names

UKJon · 2012-08-29 01:03:27

One thing I didn't really think about till I visited Ireland is the fact most pubs are named after the people who run them. Whereas here in the UK, it seems there is a list about 100 pub names and every pub has one of these names. Is there any examples pubs in the ROI having English style names?

The Kings Head is a famous pub in Galway

First day in Galway for college, we were to meet up for a couple of drinks that night in the King's Head, but I was slightly later than the others.

Walking down Shop St., asked this guy where the King's Head was ...

"Between the Queen's legs, of course!"

Oldest known Galway joke, apparently! >.<
