O'Toole's Pub. Columbus, Ohio
An Irish Pub in an American strip mall is one that will typically suck, but has the small percent chance of blowing your mind. When I say, "suck," I'm talking about what people traditionally consider an Irish Pub to be "authentic," where many expect a touch of properness, craftsmanship, and worthy food. Any Craic Addict within the Drunken Mallard community knows that those aren't the only things that can make an American Irish Pub a fantastic one (although important).

Flanagan's Pub. Blacklick, Ohio
There are a handful of things that don't necessarily scratch the itch when comparing Flanagan's to Pubs rated above a 9. For one, the Guinness pour isn't what you want to see, and on top of the pour, it comes served in a 16oz glass rather than a traditional sized pint.

H.M. Frank's. Jeffersonville, Indiana
This rustic little spot belongs to the same people that opened Pat O'Shea's across the river in Louisville. It's an inviting Pub, with sort of a "grab and go" culture to it.

The Irish Rover. Louisville, Kentucky
The Irish Rover may have done everything correctly, but I guess what I'm ultimately saying is that they didn't hit a homerun in regard to anything. It's sort of like when a single guy sees a cute, funny girl at the bar. Just because she's cute and funny, does that mean he has to try and marry her?

Molly Malone's. Louisville, Kentucky
Molly Malone was known as the "tart with a cart," as she traveled around town with a wheelbarrow. She was a fish monger by day and a prostitute at night who died at an early age from a heavy fever. There's no way that woman could have smelled very well.
