LOL! J.J. Foley's is a walk in the park compared to some of the real Irish bars in Southy.

That's interesting about Cambridge though. You'd think they'd be the first place to go PC.

Is the old Plough and Stars still open on Mass. Ave? That used to be a big IRA bar for a while. Can't see no smoking with that crowd!
:O)

Plough is still open with live music. I know, how do they ever squeeze in there.

One Foleys behind Washington St had a bartender- great guy - rogue with a brogue until we saw his foto in the paper saying he'd been deported. Used to make us drinks that were like Rum with a splash of cola!

I'll stick to Cambridge, thanks, even though Southie has a lot of new arrivals who were paying over 500K for a triple decker.

Cambridge is a very funny place. The leftists they have, tend to be non PC (the most obnoxious PC crowd is in Newton, Wellesley, Lexington etc) and doing a lot of things for show.

For example a few years ago they made a law requiring bars, restaurants and other establishments to have condom vending machines. But they included the small print provision that one can get an unconditional exemption if requested. The end result? It is VERY hard to find such machine.

Another example - they made Cambridge a "nuclear free zone" - and Cambridge is one of the few towns which has the nuclear reactor! (for MIT research).

Also Cambridge budget is very well balanced and frugal.
