Little Shamrock

Irish pub with character & free popcorn

Bar · Inner Sunset · $

A “friendly” “neighborhood hangout” that “hasn’t changed much since it opened its doors” in 1894, this Inner Sunset Irish pub is “cool” in an “old-fashioned way” ; it has “lots of character – and characters” too, who head here to browse the board games and “meet new people” over “cheap” pints.

I came here on St. Patty's day with my buddy, and man was it a good choice. The beer flows like wine in here, the bartender kept it coming, and because I helped him change some of the toilet paper in the bathroom, he gave me Guinness on him. On top of that, I met a bunch of interesting people including an old time classic Irish guy from Boston and a few others. There was also free corned beef hash and potatoes in the back. Unfortunately I put it off for too long and when I went to get some it was already gone. Still a good bar though.

Cozy hole in the wall with low priced drinks. They don't serve food, but you can bring in your own. They sell some bags of chips and nuts at the bar if you just need something salty to nibble on.

This is the BEST bar in the area. It's very cozy and towny, a classic and comfortable vibe. Seating is a tight squeeze but it promotes meeting others which I enjoy. No food available but they do allow outside food. Lots of board games available to play, and they have dart boards in the back. Love this place.
