Description
Duck under the green awning and into O'Reilly's Irish Bar for an authentic North Beach pub experience. Old World pictures, mirrors, and green-tinged glass cover the walls. Wrought iron candelabras hang from the ceiling. A steady stream of tourists and regulars (especially on Friday and Saturday nights) make it a crowd, but with dark wood tables and chairs tucked into every nook and cranny, the bar is deceptively spacious - and, bonus, there is sidewalk seating. Pick from a vast collection of Ireland's best beers, including Boddingtons, Kilkenny, and, of course, Guinness (which takes the requisite full five minute pour, by the way). Tip: After a couple of drinks, hobble over to the adjoining restaurant for a satisfying nosh (highly recommended with fresh oysters and homemade soda bread).
