Atlantic City, NJ, Irish Pub Identified as one of oldest in U.S
I have spent many late nights at the Irish Pub in Atlantic City.
The Irish Pub sits at 164 St. James Place in Atlantic City and has all the classic looks of what an old Irish Pub should look like. Filled with old charm, which makes it a very cool place to have a beer at any time of the day.
The bar fills multiple rooms and the tables are sprawled out throughout the restaurant, it's truly one of the unique spots in Atlantic City.
Beginning its operations in the 19th century, the Pub has been going strong ever since, being identified as one of the oldest Irish pubs in the United States.
Back in the days of Prohibition, The Irish Pub in Atlantic City was a speakeasy. Today, it still offers a taste of old Atlantic City, having been in operation since all the way back in since the 19th century, with the exact date unknown.
The other Irish Pub's that were identified as the oldest in the US include:
