My wife and i were in las americas last week and went to the gaelic corner on the patch in las americas. It only opened in june 2007.
Its above the dubliner and has a brilliant terrace with relly comfy chairs. There is a keyboard player called andy boyle from scotland on from 9.30pm until 1.00am. People can get up and sing if he knows your song but its not like karaoke you need to know the words. My wife was always up singing and loved it and everyone in the pub seemed to really enjoy listening to her.
The staff are really friendly and good fun. We had a good time trying their "cocktails".
The only problem with it was theprice of the drinks. It did seem a bit more expensive than other pubs and i heard a few other people complaining about them.

All in all we really enjoyed our time in the gaelic corner and will be back. Has anyone else been in?

We found this pub to be a great spot. During the day we always popped in for a nice cold beer and an odd day we had our lunch - they do a fab bacon/sausage roll and everything is very fresh. The place is spotless. We also went for a night out there and had a great night - the prices are not as bad as the dubliner downstairs!!

the gaelic corner opened this year. we went one night and the entertainment was ok. stayed for a while at the front and 'people watched' over a couple of drinks BUT we've always found the cheiftan bar much better for us irish; great entertainment and brill staff (john from england and ben from south africia couldn't be more helpful) we always have great craic with them!! the reason we prefer the chieftan rather than the gaelic corner is because the chieftan is 'irish owned' unlike the gaelic corner.

That is true, the gaelic corner is owned by a spanish guy but during the day the guy working there is Irish. I think he is from Carlow and he is a very friendly guy who remembers your face and your drinks order!! I suppose its better if Irish pubs are irish owned but we couldnt fault the gaelic corner.

EDIT> Forgot to ask - Where is the Chieftain?? Might have to give it a try when i am over there next.

My wife and her pal got 2 malibu and diet cokes and it came to 11euros.gaelic corner is upstairs and dubliner is downstairs but are both owned by the same people. the gaelic corner does food during the day. dubliner only opens 9pm to 5am.
