The Irish Times in Laurium, Michigan is a fine establishment of refined taste and Irish mayhem. Sydney and Michael are in town for Winter Carnival so we stopped by after enjoying a fine Mexican dinner at Carmelita's. Sydney used to work at The Irish Times and a reunion of sorts ensued.
The establishment itself is tastefully decorated and the bar that you can see in the picture is artwork itself, done by a local artist. The artist also painted one of the walls and added the most interesting brick-like texture that appeared to "come out of" the paint. It's hard to describe but it appeared as if the wall was brick and just had a few spots left untouched. A very cool effect.
We spoke with the owner "McCormak" who came over from Ireland ages ago and told us about his Irish ancestry.
Overall, the night was great!
