Oh we get Irish theme pubs but they gradually faded from prominence in favour of bars and the various flavours they come in. Nowadays, Irish theme pubs tend to imply cheap and inauthenticity over here. Not like the old days when there was barely any choice, now there is great diversity. Like if I were in Manchester I might haunt The Whisky Jar (obvious specialty) or one of the “hidden” speakeasy places where you enter a laundrette and descend into a table service cocktail joint.
