As an Irish person, I can confirm we do have furniture in our bars 😂 I'd say Theo was in a club or something 😂. But he's right about not letting our friends stop drinking. Hence the "Irish Goodbye" where you slip out when no one is looking so that they can't stop you, hahaha
Haha I used always do that but more because my friends would love to stand around outside the pub after chatting,then onto the chipper for more chatting outside … brutal… soon as my last drink is over I’m gone
This actually happened to me at an Irish bar on St. Patrick’s day in Kyoto Japan! I had never seen so many honest to God Irish in one place. My sister wanted to leave around midnight and those people were trying so hard to convince me to stay saying “It’s not like this every night, you should make the most of it!”
God, that’s so true. I’m sober 15 years, but I well remember the disappearing act that had to be performed. You literally weren’t allowed to go home. “Where are YOU goin’?”
I lived in a tiny village in England that had 5 pubs and it’s pretty much the same. All the Irish pubs I’ve been to have been meeting places for everyone with singing etc
I'm half Irish, half English, and I don't drink. At family gatherings, I am the only sober one, and that's always the first topic of conversation once the formalities are over. Both sides of the family bond over my lack of enthusiasm for alcohol. 200 people all with their own opinion on what went wrong with me. Great people, you're never alone, but also, you're never alone.
Lived in galway for a while early 2000s, it was great drinking culture , hardly ever any aggressiveness, it was addictive , the irish just wanted a laugh and a good conversation, they are good storytellers its in the DNA. I hope that hasn't changed .
The craic is getting diluted by serious pricks that are easily offended, and your not even talking to them they're just overhearing a conversation and butting in to say how offended they are, have to make themselves the center of attention, "poor me and MY feelings"
@@danielobrien7695says the seriously privileged boy that's sheltered from all the horrendous things happening. It's a heck of a level of cruelty to demean people that are in genuine pain as they see social degradation in their home and fear they can't stop it and protect their own loved ones. Time for self reflection, not gaslighting those you deem less than you. You show the worst kind of snobbery imaginable. The most essential tool to protect yourself is your intuition. People like yu are teaching youngsters to ignore that for fear of being called a racist, putting them in more danger. Misogynistic scum
as a full blooded irish person i’m just gonna say… alcohol affects us differently, my mexican friends say the same thing, & you’re right - there’s just something in the dna 🧬 we’re build different. or it could be centuries of cultural oppression & poverty… who knows. 🤷♀️
I start drinkin and you can't tell me there's a tomorrow. All that matters is the memories being made in the present moment, and who's gonna sing Rattlin' Bog with me 😅💃 I was born American but these Irish roots seem to run deep
As an Irishman ,we love to drink,have the craic ,slag the bollox out of each other but still never let a man struggle to get home on their own. ... We cud be on the other side of the world and bump into another Irishman and realize that where cousins and just get buckled for the few days.......love it.....
@@im_just_serioushe’s saying they love to fuck around and get hammered but they won’t ever leave someone to find their own way home if they’re too drunk, they help you at least get back home and be safe
Everlast would ya go away outta dat , ain't one of us man . Born and bred in America never lived here so daddy chilllll . If you wanna hear some Irish rap from Ireland check out " Rejjie Snow " or " Blindboy" wouldn't be my cup of tea but is decent nonetheless. UK scene is huge and very very good artists coming out of there , it's only starting to get decent here in Ireland .
New Orleans native here - my friends Irish Aunt who was kind enough to host me in Dublin drank me under the table and of course knew every bartender at every bar we went to
When you're Irish and visit America, or anywhere abroad, the last thing you want to hear is the locals suggest we all go to an Irish bar just because they're with an Irishman. It's depressing. @@DudeAbides1969
😂😂😂 from an Irishman who just came back from Germany you are correct. In Germany u can drink all day and night and in public excluding playgrounds and schools and just all beer. No cider anyway.
It was the Irish gaels who brang Gaeilge Gaelic to Scotland and the Isle of man and parts of Wales the Scottish were pics from picland spoke pictish wipe out by the Saxons and vikings. Mac/MC/Ní/Ó are all of Irish Gael blood surnames. It was the Irish gaels who called it Albain=Scotland=the land of the Irish gaels like Scotia means Irish Gaels we are the one people by blood 🇮🇪🏴🏴⚓
So are the English and Welsh. The Scot’s are overrated as Scotland is a shithole. Ireland and wales are by far the nicest places in that part of the world
@@emilymccartney1593 haha I think everyone likes a drink these days. But the Scot’s and Irish just seem to have a great way about them with it. Unlike the English 😂
But it’s our national sport that’s why. Shame it’s not in the Olympics. It would us vying for the gold along with Russia, GB, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland.
As an irishman who has lived in different countries.. We very much have a completely different culture to the rest of the world when it comes to drinking.. watch a bunch of young lads pop into a bar for their first round.. Excitement, joy and smiles all round. Theres an appreciate for the pint i have seen nowhere else.. And i think it's all about setting. An old irish pub creates an environment for perfect drinking culture to thrive.. there's history and stories in the walls
Then 5 minutes later those lads make their way into the jacks and come out dusty nosed ready to start shit. Please stop glorifying our drinking culture. It's problematic to say the least. The small % of people who actually go in for the experience are normally forced to leave due to drunks who can't hold their drink. There's a reason why there are 5 bars in every back arse of nowhere village here. Because i would rather go to my local which kicks out the troublesome ones.
@@Olterior Any time I've came out the toilets dusty nosed, I'm generally in a good mood and so are my mates who also have dusty noses and we never start sh*t... you do get the odd group of d*ckheads but you will get that when you are dealing with humans.
@@OlteriorAye I think you’re right with the problem with nose beers. Too many lads end up fucking it by doing coke. I think it wouldn’t be bad if it wasn’t for that.
@@Olterior As a Dubliner I would say there are great local pubs which I stick to, pub culture here is a lot to do with talking and being together, a visiting American friend told me after a visit to my local, how unusual he felt it was to hear people actually discussing things, deep in conversation, ( then start singing at the end of the night )yes there are hyper bars in the city centre, with blaring music, or pubs known for a rough crowd etc but they are not the traditional type, you can choose one or the other or somewhere in between.
@@scarletred8888 Your American friend should go to a small bar in the states instead of the trendy bars he goes to if he wants to experience the same. Even better is to not drink at all
We took a Polish lad drinking with us on Christmas eve a few years back. By 1pm he was passed out so we finished off the rest of his vodka and beer and headed to the pub for the rest of the day. It takes a different breed to keep up with us. I will say ye Polish are some great craic to drink with though!
I love how Ed knows us Irish...yes we like a drink and to go to pubs but we aren't all holding each other up in pubs (come on buddy🙄). Also sports bars to us Irish is kinda like a beef quarter pounder to a vegetarian...and we love our sports!!
His Granny from here never left, her son Eds Dad moved from Ireland to UK, he spent summers and holidays here and busked here ,so he half Irish anyway but definitely knows us
Maybe he came over on st paddys that's differentttt 😂😂😂 sounds like he was in a city centre the way theres bars at the exit and it was probably full of stags and hens ect
So glad Theo came to Dublin. His set was incredible and like he said he went around to a few bars around the city and just mingled with locals, good dude.
Just go to a football/ rugby game. The Welsh are the beat singers probably. But even though I've got Irish & English blood, I love the pipes. Scotland at Murray field gives the chills
Hey Theo, my sister has an authentic Irish bar in the cathedral quarter San Diego. The furniture and decor/props was shipped over from here in Ireland. Irish traditional music and Irish dancers plus traditional Irish food. You should pay a visit, tell them I sent you and they'll look after you on the house of course..love you Theo Yvonne xx 🇮🇪
UK has so many drunks that in the 80s they passed a law called “the measurement act” where it’s law to measure out spirits, wine, etc to exactly 50ml, 75mls etc. if you don’t then your pub/restaurant can get shut down. None of this “1,2,3” guestimating there 😂
@@Cian._.We have the same thing here man. The Weights and Measures Act 1985. I asked my father about this he was a bartender for 30 odd years and all spirirts were measured to 35.5ml exactly.
I've been to 12 countries (that's a decent amount for a North American anyway, ha-ha) & 22 U.S. states, and New Orleans may be my favourite city I've ever visited. Such a unique, charming city and a lot of fun.
Or listen to shit ass music blasting in a tiny ass pub , happens all the time , going out is shit here , at least in Listowel it is I had some fun in Killarney they were playing real Irish music not garbage techno
Have you been to The Mean Fiddler in Manhattan? It reminds me of The Temple Bar in Dublin tbh! You're better going to an Irish bar in the country areas, the city's nearly the same everywhere!
And the best part is that lad who can barely stand up probably only went "for the one cheeky pint" but there's no such thing in Ireland. You always "just go for one or two scoops" and then you leave hours later head fucked, pockets empty, asking someone in the street to point you in the general direction of where you lived two apartments ago.
Mine and my brother’s was like that when we were young, mine til I was 19. My brother’s now sandy haired, and I’m not much darker - bit like that guy Theo’s is I suppose. It’s strawberry blonde - Ed’s probably Irish himself 😁 Edit: I just read that his father’s Irish, there you go 😆
We leave no man behind. That's how we do it. There's a video online of Post Malone at a "lock-in" at a bar in Dublin, and he's pissed playing music with the locals 😂
Irish pubs in Ireland🥰 There's LITERALLY 8 pubs on each block. One on each corner.. and one in the middle of THEM. AND THE GUINESS IS DOMESTIC FRESH FRESH FRESH YUMMY😋
Baby come up to Illinois and Saint Louis nothin but Irish and German pubs 😂 you'll meet people you've never seen before. MacIllrayvies, Foleys, RJ's, Demo's(deemos) all Irish pub. Cheap beer too
@@Irishwild Oh really, then how come in Dublin alone on an average weekend there's easily 20 drunk drivers arrested. I'll also inform you right now that I'm a solicitor who lives in Dublin so I'm well aware of the high number of drink driving incidents in the whole country. For future reference it helps to actually know what you're on about before you incorrectly comment, contradict, assume and basically make a fool of yourself. 🤔🤦🏻♂️😂.
Note to the wise, when your in ireland drinking in a group never ever show weakness youll pay dearly😂😂 by weakjess i mean saying youve had enough, youll create a temporary 3 second silence followed by shut the fup, your going no no were sure its only 11.30 am weve only started ya big girl, she has ya wrapped doesnt she, a few of the attacks ya mite get for shown that weakness and thats mild 😂 welcome to the best country on this planet
As an Irish man that like a pint... i remember my friend was that drunk he couldn't talk when he went to the bar they just gave him a carlsberg but he was drinking Heineken.. it was our local so it was grand
@@Hiram1000 People absolutely drink and drive, regardless of the laws. It happens every weekend, just because you don't doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Story time... My Grandmother was Irish and my Dad would tell us stories about her. He said him and his brothers used to pick her up from the pub and take her home in a wheelbarrow and said she'd sing all the way home😅 Then when the neighbours would look out the window shed say "what ya looking at! Pull your head in!😅 I have also visited Ireland and loved the atmosphere of the pubs there. I had an allergy when I arrived there. It made my face red and puffy, and the only thing that made it go down was Guiness so off to the Brazen Head I went (oldest pub in Ireland) I drank 13 pints of Guinness!😅 The barman said to me "In all my time working in bars in Ireland, I haver NEVER seen a woman drink 13 pints of Guinness!😂 The allergys gone now haha. It's definately in the genes!😊 Cheers 🍻
Im half Irish and half Filipina and my daddy quit drinking and was sober till the day he died. 🎉he used to tell me and my sis listen, dont be dranking. So , i dont. 🎉but i still ball out at karoke
I'm half Irish & half German, and I have religiously placed myself as far away from sober as you can go, in every direction. I've really had to apply myself, study & work hard, to chart this psychonautical universe. Phew!!!! Not even close to done. It's always f*ing expanding!!!
@@jaxbot13as an Irish man I can confirm we will sing at the drop of a hat. It’s just a culture thing. We don’t need to drink to sing but when drunk we will not stop singing. It’s just a bit of craic ☘️
As a Wexford woman and after seeing the full interview of him defending us against Theos attempt to paint us all as stereotypical alcoholics, he's earned his Irish passport with me. One of us! One of us! 😂
Its also about the atmosphere. There's (rarely) any agressiveness or showing off. It's not the goal. THe goal is craic. Craic is a good time. Going drinking in Ireland is basically just trying to have as much fun as possible. Be it stories, jokes, making fun of each other, funny shit happening. There's a reason we keep going at it despite the hangover consequences :D
