With the Guinness flowing, shamrock hats and Irish flags draped across the bars, these pictures are a throwback to past times on St Patrick’s Day. They also revisit some of the proper Irish Bars which people loved back in the day. Some have gone but others are still very much around.
Take a look at some of the pictures.
