Dropkick Murphy's

Cavernous pseudo-Irish pub in the Grassmarket vicinity, which plays just enough on its theme without verging on the tacky. With multiple sports screens, big cubey booths and a bar that stretches practically the length of the building, surrender any aversion to serene sobriety at the door; a winner with big groups on the prowl for a party, Dropkick's is without question the place to get it started.
