Six Penny Bit is a real Irish pub. Not the kind of the bar where they paint a shamrock on the window under the Old Style signs, keep a few bottles of Guinness in the refrigerator and one Irish Rovers CD on the jukebox. Here the men at the bar speak in native brogues and the back of the bar is adorned with photos of Irish soccer teams and road signs in English and Gaelic.
