    This is a go-to establishment for good food as well as merriment. "Four Courts" plays most BPL and Championship matches, in addition to the Six Nations rugby tournament.

    Happy hour is great. Wednesday's are 60¢ wing night. Get the double fried wings. Always a good choice. They have your usual Irish pub choices on tap: Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks, Magners. Great place.

    Opened in March 1996, Ireland's Four Courts has great food, drinks, and people. It is an ideal place to see D.C. United soccer matches. Ireland's Four Courts is an official MLS pub!

    I have been going here since I was in my 20s. I used to have a pewter mug here but who knows where that's gone to. Sometimes way too crowded

    Shane is the best at making mojitos and margaritas (ask for frozen pomegranate... it's not on the menu but it's a Shane specialty!)

    Live music often in the front bar; much quieter for good conversation in the back room.

    Like the ambience and fireplace but the HH is a joke. Guinness for $5 and Miller $3. That's all they offer. Used to all draughts on HH.

    Don't forget to check the back bar if the front is packed. It's often quieter too if you're looking for that.
