Mc Kinelly

I find it odd that every German town must, must have an Irish pub. Well, I guess that applies to every average-sized town in the world. Mc Kinelly is one of two or three Irish pubs located in Erfurt, and I have to say it’s more authentic than the other one. Let’s start on why, shall we?

1) The other Irish pub showed football instead of Rugby during the Rugby World Cup, even when two Kiwis asked to switch the channel.

2) The Canadian, American, English, Scottish, and Irish expat community who gather here Friday nights.

3) Dennis, the Irish bartender, who serves Guiness with a three-leaf clover imprint on its foam. Very cool

Need I say more?

Well, for a pub, they serve mighty portions of good, hearty food. I had Broccoli casserole, and the menu has an awful lot of cheese and meat in it. If you’re vegetarian, they serve salads and excellent fries . Cozy interiors and a great beer garden at the back where you can sip your ales, stouts, and Guiness while enjoying the summer sun is another seling point. The kitchen closes at 11, but you can continue drinking until around 2 on weekends.

Expect to pay 6 euros on average for the food, though the steaks cost 9 euros. A bottle of beer is around 2.40 to 2.60 euros, the same is true for the Guiness. They also serve bourbon, whiskey, and proper drinks that will keep happy boozers knock back a few drinks too many.
