The Shillelagh Club. I attended my friend 's wedding this last Saturday. She is one of the sweetest and beautiful people out there. And word on the street was we would end up at the Shillelagh Club and that was a promise. The club was described as a bright lit, old man, dive bar! Yum!! You had me at old man dive . I have always gotten weak in the knees when it comes to a good dive. The ceremony was followed by a lovely reception. After I danced in heels and sipped on bubbly, I was ready for the promised dive. We all squeezed into our appointed party bus and away we went. It was a quick ride but I would definitely not be able to give directions. Thank gawd for Google maps so I don 't have to include that in this review. As we arrived to the Shillelagh Club, everything was as I imagined and more. I quickly spotted the pool table and a jukebox! And then as drinks were being ordered I noticed the ginormous sized beers!! Yes, please super size my beer! Now the bartender, John Dooney was undoubtedly our angel that night. He had people needing attention from all angles of the horseshoe shaped bar. I kept hearing one guy, yelling Bartender! Bartender! Shots! Put it on my tab . He was obviously not one of the siblings to the bride. Mr. Dooney even tried to give one of the cousins his tip money for a cab since he wasn 't sure the cab took cards. A heart of gold, that John. The tale that has been told was the parents to the bride and her three siblings had their second date here. And at this very bar, there was a random guy who said he could see their future as a married couple and all there little kids. They have renamed this man the prophet . How many years later all there kids are grown up and drinking in their older sister ' honor at the same bar. Thanks for the great times Shillelagh Club, John Dooney and the super sized beers!! Until the next time I 'm New Jersey!
