If anyone from Drogheda goes in there they slaughter them – true fact
Facepalm.
Cromwells, a great bunch of lads.
…no, wait…
Well, I remember a nightclub in Alicante called “The Clap.”
There’s a lot to be said for carrying out some research before calling the sign makers!
To hell or to Cadiz
I upvoted even though I really really didn’t want to. Fuck Cromwell. (Killing Charles was an illegal regicide of the King of Scots, but could have been a good thing for occupied Ireland – Nope, he fucked that really really badly.)
Oh so many people to choose from, O’ Connell, Plunkett, Pearse, just to name a few… And they went with this…
It’s like they googled “Ireland History” and just went with whatever. Similarly I was in an Irish bar in Turkey. The outline of Ireland was missing the Six Counties.
Arra for fuck sakes Oliver, down with that sort of thing
Egregious errors abound around the world. Get to endure [this piss take](https://www.fionnmaccools.com/en/pubfare/food.html) in Canada. Last time I was in the wait staff uniform included kilts. I see they’re still doling out shepherds pie made with beef, “irish” nachos which almost certainly isn’t made with irish beef lest the price be completely extortionate and trying the usual lazy trope of “any dish becomes irish if you throw a bit of guinness in it!”
I remember being in an English pub in Banff called the Pump and Tap. When complaining to the owner about not having a good Irish bar in town. He opened a secret compartment that was basically a shrine to Ireland behind the bar and pulled out “the good whiskey”
Who wants to open a tapas bar with me in temple bar called Franco’s
Gotta love when somewhere accidentally names a place after some English bastard who’s hopefully being tortured in hell
All you have to do is add “grave” in the arch, problem solved.
Right across from a Scottish-themed pub called “Maggie Thatcher’s”
Madrid seems to have a bunch of Irish related things. There’s an O’Donnell street and bunch of irish pubs all over the place. Went to this one called Paddy’s bar or similar. Place was full of Kilkenny related items and decorations. Pretty cool
Holy fucking god
Christ I’d love a cigarette
There’s an “Irish pub” I came across in Zurich called Big Ben’s. I took my business elsewhere.
Jesus wept…
this made me think of McNulty in the Wire going undercover as a Cromwell
Putting the harp in a design with the name is a hate crime
I don’t think this is what happened but imagine being Irish and just happening to have the name Cromwell. Proud of your culture, proud of your family, you want to open a pub to honour both but you know you can’t do that in Ireland so you go into exile in Spain and then someone shows up with a camera.
Cromwell’s – where the Irish go to get slaughtered.
It amazes me that you can go anywhere in the world and you’ll find a Irish bar.

Richard Harris played him [in the film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromwell_(film)), so I think he had an Irish accent.
