Slainte'



There's a cool new Irish Pub in T town, Paddy Coyne's on Pacific Ave. This has been a much anticipated opening. Paul and I showed up about 4:40 pm to find out that the official opening wasn't til 5. We don't follow directions very well so we went in anyway. We offered to sit quietly until the hour of 5, but Paddy himself gave the bartender the green light to pour us a couple of beers. And that, dear children, how we consumed the first historical beers of Tacoma's Paddy Coynes. Yum!




Truly the pictures don't do the place justice. It is a beautiful space with a great attention to detail. You have to go see it for yourself.



This is how the bar looked a few minutes after we arrived. Within a half hour, the entire establishment was packed, standing room only. My quess is that seating capacity is in the neighborhood of 150 people. Look out Tacoma, Paddy Coynes has landed.

That's just great. I miss Tacoma... Who would every think I would say that? But it is true. I miss my dear friends a hell of a lot more. Talk at ya later Sandy, you little lady you.
