The second film in the "A Proper Pint" series, this film looks at McLoughlin's Bar and the magnificent landscapes and interesting characters of Achill Island, Ireland
Achill Island was my favorite drinking spot back during the good old days. I was back a few years ago and I'm pretty sure that McLoughlin's is located on the Sound. My mom's maiden name was McLaughlin which is a more modern way to spell the family name. The McLoughlin's were High Kings of Ireland for a few years in the 13th century and I have absolutely no idea what they screwed up to lose the title. I suspect drink might have played some part in it all, but we've learned to just move on and get over the loss.
