While other "pubs" tack up a few shamrock placards on the wall, the ambiance at The Half Door is authentically Irish, not half-arsed. And for every beer and liquor that comes to mind, the Half Door offers immensely more. The staff is both knowledgeable and congenial and will gladly guide both uninitiated and experienced drinkers to vast and varied potables. There are 17 different beers always on tap, more than 100 bottled beers, at least one dozen Irish whiskeys, and arguably the largest single malt selection in the region.
