Irish House

Aalborg


It’s almost too beautiful a setting in which to get sloshed. Inside a 17th-century building loaded with timber carvings and stained glass, this cheerful pub offers live music Thursday to Saturday, big-screen sports, cheap pub grub (Irish stew, beef-and-Guinness pie) and a big range of beers.
