When you think of Irish pubs, you think of those you see all around the world, in places like New York and Munich, even in London. No doubt the best Irish pubs are actually in Ireland. 

Everyone no doubt has their own ideas in their head of what they should look like. But everyone is probably picturing the same kind of things – a small, warm place in a tiny Irish town, with cheap pints, endless tayto, class toasted sandwiches, a fire burning in the corner and some legend propping up the bar for hours. 

Well, we would all be wrong apparently. 

The Irish Village in Dubai was just crowned the best Irish bar in the world at the Irish Pubs Global Awards. But what makes it so special?

Their outdoor area is something to be revered. With their gorgeous weather as well, I’d say it is jammers. It probably wouldn’t work as well here in rainy old Ireland. It even comes with some bodhrán playing statues. 

We just hope it is frequented by some real bodhrán players from time to time, or it can’t possibly be the best Irish bar in the world…

It has Guinness and dogs. We are SOLD!

It even has a classic Irish favorite – Bulmers! (Ignore the silly picture that says Magners…)

The food is also supposed to be unreal. Just like an Irish Mammy would make you – but maybe with slightly better presentation.

And would any Irish bar actually be complete without random inspirational texts plastered around the place?

Even if you’ve had a few drinks on you feel like visiting Ireland, they will point you in the right direction
