In the old days I used to bar hop on 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. More bars on one single street than anywhere else in the world - it's in the record books.
Now I drive by inviting pubs on my way to the grocery.
I recently learned the expression 'called in' refers to a visit to a pub ...
Interesting (probably only to me) the bar/tavern on every street ceded to nail salons in the 90s and then banks in the more recent years, with so many failing/being absorbed into other lending institutions what do you suppose will replace the banks? Bars/taverns again?
I can see where the nice red exterior would invite people in - not that I have been in a bar in quite some time myself now that I think about it. I believe I had landed squarely in the Land of Old Fogeyism!
And I caught hell for shooting a bridge photo on the fly?
Worth the stop though D. Um... you did stop, right?
And my two-way mirrors are really only useful for what you saw. They're not big enough for much of anything else. Certainly nothing nefarious or clandestine.
The pub crawl seems to be a younger person's outlet. Except I would love to visit and tip a pint of Black and Tan in the ruby treasure. With some appealing pub grub to wash down!
It's funny how priorities change over time. As a youngster my life revolved around bar hopping with buddies. Now a quiet night in with a few friends and a couple of drinks is more my pace! Looks like a cool bar :)
Hi Dianne, that is a pretty red pub that you drive by. If they serve fish and chips I'd go in there once in a while, they are my favorite pub food (and I don't think they were on the original pub food menus). ..
Hi Dianne, This place sure looks cozy and inviting, although I haven't been in a bar in years. I didn't do a Ruby Tuesday photo this week, but I didn't want to miss yours.
Ah ... sweet mem'riez ;--) I didn't play or visit much of anyone this week. Life's been BUSY, but I'm hoping to catch up this weekend. Hugs and blessings,

that's a cool looking pub!
yes that does look very inviting. i love red!
That definitely looks like a place I would go in to.
And I think I would hang out on that street with all the bars a lot too. ;-)

It's a really pretty red. But I'll pass, thank you.
Interesting how times change and how we change too, isn't it? I hope you stopped at a light to take this photo. ;-)

Good capture for Ruby Tuesday. Yes, those were the days. I, too, just drive by, now.

Times HAVE changed, huh? ;-) One can't miss the put in the red color.

It's definitely red!
Great capture! Oh and by the way there is a Greenwich Village "Literary Pub Crawl" that runs every Saturday afternoon, in case anyone is interested.
Nice capture from the car. That place is fire engine red~~ Very attractive!!
Well you couldn't miss that pub. Just as well you don't walk to the grocery store you might be a bit tipsy by the time you get there.
fine looking irishbar, wouldn't mind having a guiness in there. nice lil' red in a rewiewmirror as a bonus. happy RT!
I think I still would hop in, lol ! I love pubs (at least the once in England)

I'm guessing with a name like McDonagh's that it's an Irish pub - they get everywhere!
That's a very red bar! I love your picture from the bus.
