Another pub we visited while in Lanzarote was The Blarney Stone. It is in the the old town and if being honest it was the liveliest bar we visited while on holidays. It is quite a big bar and food is served as far as i know. The pub is run by a Carrigaline man and talented musician Johnny Crowley. The pints were the most expensive we got while on the island. It is a very popular spot. The night that we were there was very busy and there was a lot of singers going up doing their piece accompanied by Johnny. I, of course was one of them and did my usual few party-pieces along with a few new attempts. To be fair Johnny makes the night for everyone there as he is witty and can back anybody it seems, no matter what song they choose to sing.
I was disappointed with the toilets that i used. They were not in great condition. Overall this is a good pub to visit. It shows all the major sporting events but the big draw back for me is that the prices for drink here are almost the same as you’d pay in Ireland. Check it out for yourself.

Final comment: The Blarney Stone bar is a very worth while visit. Make sure to sing a song!
The next bar that we visited on our trip to Lanzarote was Jimmy’s bar just a short stroll from Craic n Ceoil. It is a pub situated up a stairs and to be fair it is quite small. I got a nice feeling from this place from the moment i walked in. Myself and Jen went on one night and myself and Tom went another night to watch an Irish international match. I think the pint of beer, Dorada as i recall was 2 euro 50, which was quite reasonable. I found the owner of the bar to be a very friendly chap indeed and he was most helpful. I located the bars website and see that his name is Peter Coughlan. He appeared to be very hard working. There was also entertainment on the two nights that we headed in and again courtesy of the website i see that Peter Scott is the mans name. He was very easy to listen to and played a good selection of songs.
The gents toilet is just one cubicle. One thing i liked about it was that the lights come on when the toilets are vacated and go off when empty. Its a good energy saving idea. There was a bit of a crowd on both nights we visited and it was good fun.

Final comment: Jimmy’s Irish bar is small but can be lively. Expect a warm welcome.
