Fake Irish bars are everywhere

According to Slate, the surfeit of faux Irish bars everywhere has beena calculated move on the part of Irish companies. Not that you should let that stop you from pickling your brain in the name of a country you're probably not from tonight. :)

Anyone, at least in B.C., concerned about the "theme" of a pub is too young to remember when the province's liquor laws permitted only beer parlors resembling the mess halls in prison movies. Any theme, no matter how trite, is preferable to a gloomy barn where the only diversion is sitting still and drinking round and after round of draft beer and the major feature of decor was red terry cloth covers for the tables. Curiously this lack of ethnic imperative or prefabricated incentives to party never seemed to stop anyone from getting dead drunk.
