Editorial Review for Biddy McGraw's Irish Pub – by Andre Hagestedt
In Short
The warm, rural flavor at this Irish-themed bar is created using slightly battered wooden decor, as in a rustic pub in the Old Country. Stone floors and a mishmash of political posters from Ireland augment the vibe. It's part neighborhood bar and part hangout for a younger crowd. There's live music--Irish folk, funk or roots rock--most nights of the week. Darts and other games are in the back of the bar.

We like Biddy's on a Sunday night. It is a nice pub and the food is always good. The art work is Irish Republican but I could care less. I don't think the owners care. I don't think they are Irish. As a side note, I never have seen Sein Finn posters in the Republic of Ireland pubs and bars. I think the interior reflects much of what I have seen in Ireland. The music is grand. Seems to get a good support from the Irish community on Sunday nights. If I were to improve the pub it would be to get a more charismatic bartender. This is the opinion of my Irish friends and myself.
Pros: nice atmosphere, irish music on sunday nights
Cons: cool to chilly bartender

My opinion?,.....Offensive atmosphere. Not at all impressed by the Sinn Fein and IRA memorabilia at the place. I will NOT in any way put money into the coffers of anyone who supports or is otherwise impressed with murderers or terrorists. To bad. People might equate this kind of thing with what it means to be Irish. I call it disgraceful.
Pros: Nothing to ofset the cons
Cons: IRA/Sinn Fein admirers
