Irish country side

Spending some time with locals in the countryside on a rural mountain pub tour. Sure they use the word "mountain" a little loosely around here but it was a great night nonetheless.

The first pub we stopped at was really a unique little spot with great craic! It was called the Blue Light Bar, the history goes back to the time of heavy shipping. The pub is on a nice lookout so back in the day after the import inspectors would go home for the night, the pub could tell awaiting ships that it was ok to come a shore with the illumination of the bar's blue light. They had some nice turf fires going inside to accompany the great pour of Guinness and it really added to the authenticity.
