Coming Soon: Mulconry’s Traditional Irish Pub
On top of being a champion for Big American Beer (BAB), I am also a champion of suburban living. So much so that I pretty much have no reason to go to the city unless I want to see a Redwings game or if I want to get shot, stabbed, robbed, have my car stolen, beat down, harrassed, or killed. Look, I like my house, my yard, and having to drive to get my groceries. But this is a whole other blog.
So, when my latest edition of the Fairport-ER Community Newspaper arrived in my mailbox I was quite happy to read in the featured story that right here in Fairport a new bar or “Traditional Irish Pub” is going to be opening soon.
Damien Mulconry is an actual Irish fella who met his wife while tending bar in NYC. She was in college and when she was done she dragged him back to Fairport. Now that dude is here, he is opening his own Pub on Liftbridge Lane right on the canal. He is going to feature “traditional Irish fare” which means he is going to be boiling a whole lot of shit. The pub and restaurant will feature great views of the canal and should offer up a great place to hang outside on a nice summer day/night. Unfortunately nothing was mentioned about the type of beer he will have, and don’t expect me to seek out an interview. First I’m not Mark so I don’t care that much, and the dude is a real Irish guy. That means I’m better than him and don’t need to talk to him.
On the flip side of this great news is this…another Irish Pub. I can stand anywhere in Monroe county and spit on an “Irish Pub”. Hell just down the street from the soon to be Mulconry’s is Fairport favorite Donnelly’s Pub. On top of that, Mulconry is shooting for a more upscale type of a pub. And while this is good for keeping the riff-raff from Gananda, Macedon, and Walworth out, it also can place a stuffy atmosphere in the bar with simple fuckers like me despise. I don’t want to feel uncomfortable if I stroll into a bar in my shorts, jeans, or my David Wright jersey. Maybe this place won’t be like that, but the article might have you believing otherwise. Also, along with the “old world” feel and the upscale atmosphere come high prices even for watered down BAB, as well as Snobby ass Pittsford clientele and thinks they’re from Pittsford but still in Perinton clientele. This doesn’t mean I won’t give the place a shot though.
The tentative opening date for Mulconry’s is 18APR08. Give the place a shot. And city folk, if you venture out please leave the city lifestyle at home. No guns, knives, or violence please.
