Irish versus Gaelic

[OC Richard]

Here in the states the only "Celtic" origin bars you see are all "Irish" in nature. I've yet to run across a purely Scottish heritage bar/pub.

True that they're few and far between, but there have been a few Scottish pubs and pub/restaurants here anyhow, like The Loch Ness Monster Pub, The Black Watch Pub, and The Tartan Drum, and currently Buchanan Arms, Tam O Shanter, and Morrison's.

It's odd that, in general, here in the USA drinking and Irishness are so intertwined. One of those cultural stereotypes! If we want food we go Italian, if we want drink we go Irish.
