Look at me planning in advance for this one! :) I figured, since St. Patrick's Day was coming up, that a few of us might be planning to bend an elbow with a pint or two. And what better place to knock back a Guinness (or a Murphy's or a Beamish or a Smithwick's or a Bulmer's (or Magner's, as it's called around here)), than a good ol' Irish pub.
And Irish pubs are everywhere. I mean, really, everywhere. Now, I've not found anyplace that can complete with an off-the-beaten-track, peat-fire-burning, locals-wonder-who-you-are-when-you-walk-in, fresh-poured-pint-of-Murphy's REAL Irish pub in Ireland, but gosh, don't places try hard to get that atmosphere? In addition to the real deal throughout Ireland, I've been to "Irish pubs" in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Germany, and even Reykjavik, Iceland. (It was a really good one, too.)
So let's hear it from you...
What's your favorite Irish pub and/or most unusually located Irish pub you've been?

I'd usually go for Bushmills over Jameson.
I've gotta say, one of the more surreal experiences was a very touristy Irish pub in Ireland. It felt a little like the U.S. version, only it was in Ireland, and there were things about it that were clearly actually Irish, and all of that was just weird.
I will take any opportunity to hit an Irish pub in the states, but I don't really have a favorite.
