The Craic /the-crack/ n When you walk into a Pub and everyone is having a good time, but not only that; they embrace you into the conversation at hand, the bartender is both engaging and amazing, and it feels impossible to close out your tab due to the incredible atmosphere.

Craic Addict /crack-add-ict/ n A human being who seeks the Craic. Someone who knows that not all Irish Pubs have any Craic at all, despite having a beautiful building. Typically, one in The Drunken Mallard community, who wants to receive about one email per week to be informed when The Drunken Mallard has stumbled into a new Pub.

If you're ever in the Tampa Airport, then I demand you to visit Fran. For your sake, because my life is so much better having shared an hour with this absolute gem of a woman, and I want you to experience it, too.

McCracken's Irish Pub Leesburg Curb appeal

McCracken's Irish Pub. Leesburg, Florida

Nothing beats a neighborhood Pub where you know who'll be there on what day and at what time talking about roughly the same thing each visit. Without that, then you're just a public bench without any tradition, character, or allure.

The Shamrock Lounge Leesburg Florida Curb Appeal

Shamrock Lounge & Package. Leesburg, Florida.

There's a printed sign on the wall that says, "No fighting, if you do, you're barred for 30 days, no exceptions." I think it's hilarious. Most Pubs will ban you for life if you pick a fight. Here at the Shammy Lounge? Eh, just disappear for 30 days, let those raccoon eyes recover, and bring a case of beer for the fridge next time you come in and we'll call it even.

Why this beautiful Irish Pub doesn't cut it

Raglan Road. Disney Springs, Florida

I'm in love with the eye candy at the Raglan Road, and no, I'm not talking about the waitresses or Irish Dancers performing on the stage. I'm talking about the Pub's curb appeal and stunning interior design.
