Father Teds

SHOCKINGLY BAD!! I went to this pub expecting to find a theme bar with Irish folk music and jolly punters instead I ventured into what can only be described as a well lit shack. Old mentally retarded gentlemen resided on the bar blocking any sale of alcohol and with only one member [...]
