Description

Throwing back pints to a live soundtrack of traditional jigs and reels gives this Richmond watering hole a notably authentic Irish feel. Though P&S occasionally opens the stage to folk acts, the Emerald Isle crooners are the real treat -- whether offering tear-in-your-beer ballads or pint-swinging sing-alongs. Thursdays evenings offer set dancing to local ceili bands, while open sessions on Sundays and Tuesdays provide a chance for aspiring Celtic pickers to join in for a quick play-along.

Anywhere from a handful to dozens of the Bay Area's best Celtic musicians gather to rip through old favorites, as well as attempt complex Celtic melodies for which... More »
2004 | Best Irish Pub

The greatest thing about a good Irish pub is its congenial, courtly, somber, gregarious, witty, sentimental, surly, musical, poteen-fueled ambience, and the Plough is all of that in a beaker of brew. From the sidewalk out front one can hear the sound of clinking glass, ruttish laughter, and the occasional angry expletive. The pub's long, dark, scarred-wood interior features a small stage on which Irish music is performed almost every night of the week, including step-dancing, if you like... More »

Darling Clementine

By Greg Hugunin | Wed, April 25, 2001

Inner Clement Street wears a multitude of faces. You could call it the other Chinatown, Little Saigon, New Bohemia, or the place where people of every description go to browse books at Green Apple, cure their ills at the herbalist, or buy one of ... More »
