Owl 'N Thistle Irish Pub

The Owl 'N Thistle is Cozy 'N Warm

Judging by the name alone I already liked the Owl 'N Thistle. It reminds me of all the pubs in the UK called 'Cock 'N Bull' or 'Cat 'N Fiddle' or 'Dog and Duck', all places where you can warm up with a thick beer and a plate of some sort of meat with gravy on it. The Owl 'N Thistle does not disappoint, it is cozy and comfortable from the entrance on Post Avenue to the warm goodbye of your server. This bar is unpretentious; if you are too then you will enjoy the unhurried service, crapola dart games, delicious soups and fish and chips, and of course, Guinness on tap. Of all the "Irish pubs" in town, the Owl 'N Thistle is my favorite- a little off the frat-boy circuit (though not completely, watch out for the afternoon Irish car-bombers), a bit rough around the edges, and a warm hole to cozy up in out of the cold with some belly-warming fare. Just like Ireland.
