Serving Your Own Guinness

In case you haven’t guessed it by reading my posts on our trip to Ireland, the Emerald Isle can be a quirky place which you need a sense of humor to enjoy. Today’s example: we were a group of six adults and seven children (three to thirteen) looking for a decent, affordable, family-friendly restaurant in Galway city on a busy Friday night. The pizzeria Fat Freddy’s was recommended and appeared to meet all criteria although tragedy almost struck when the menfolk of the group heard that there was no beer on tap in the restaurant. Our excellent – and incredibly patient – server calmly explained that if so desired, beer could be ordered from The Quays bar next door and brought in i.e. “if you want a pint, go get it yourself”. As you can see above, my husband found this arrangement particularly agreeable :)

What a great find! Can’t imagine traveling with such a large group and finding a place to please everyone. That’s what I call keeping your “spirits” high.
