New Malone's Irish Bar in Glasgow
Hidden away down a side street in the heart of the city, a small venue reverberates with the sound of traditional Irish music and dancing. Fiddles blaze, dancers stomp their feet in time to an Irish jig and sports fans roar as the giants of two nations battle it out on Dublin soil.

Valentines Day at your Irish pub
Valentine's Day is no longer advantageous to just chocolate stores and florists, your Irish Pub can celebrate the festivities by emulating the success of other bar-restaurants; introducing a novelty room, including families and friends in the event and ditching the coupons for something more memorable. To get your Irish Pub noticed as a Valentines Day destination, consider a 'Novelty Room' likeThe Local Irish Pub in downtown Minneapolis. The interior features a hand-carved wooden bar, a whiskey lounge, but what is notable is the former broom closet that has been transformed and playfully nicknamed "The Kissing Room." Their website boasts: 'This multifunction oasis was a broom closet until ideas were exchanged to the contrary. Great for birthdays, anniversaries, or getting down on the royal knee… Book this room to contemplate any of the above.' It's significant to note that Valentines Day isn't only for couples.
