"This Irish pub in the heart of Dixie is a staple for many UA students. It sports all the features of the traditional college bar: wood paneling and exposed brick, walls (and ceilings) decorated with sports memorabilia, and signs for Irish brands and local businesses. There are local touches too, like the 21st birthday stickers slapped on surfaces around the bar (meant to bring good luck to the birthday celebrator), and the TVs are eternally tuned to Crimson Tide games. Whether it’s for drink specials ($5 Irish marys) or a quick bite (try the shepherd’s pies), the Innisfree and its friendly staff offer Southern hospitality with an orange, white, and green twist." - Jen Bowman
