In search of the perfect pint

Blarney Stone

You get a pretty decent brew for your buck at Blarney Stone. Playing Dropkick Murphys in the background definitely upgrades (and authenticates) the experience, but it was still hard to forget we were in Fells Point and not on the Emerald Isle. The jukebox and pool tables in the back aren't typical of the Irish pubs we visited, but at least Blarney makes an effort with the Guinness signs.

Cost: A very reasonable $5

The pour: Average
