McCarthy's Bar by Pete Mccarthy

McCarthy's Bar by Pete Mccarthy

The #1 Irish Bestseller

Despite the many exotic places Pete McCarthy has visited, he finds that nowhere else can match the particular magic of Ireland, his mother's homeland. In McCarthy's Bar, his journey begins in Cork and continues along the west coast to Donegal in the north. Traveling through spectacular landscapes, but at all times obeying the rule, "never pass a bar that has your name on it," he encounters McCarthy's bars up and down the land, meeting fascinating people before pleading to be let out at four o'clock in the morning.

Written by someone who is at once an insider and an outside, McCarthy's Bar is a wonderfully funny and affectionate portrait of a rapidly changing country.

Pete McCarthy was born in England to a mother who was Irish and a father who was English. In the United Kingdom, he wrote and performed in a number of travel series for radio and television. McCarthy's Bar, his debut book, was a hit in Ireland, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
