CEOL

191 Smith St. between Baltic & Warren, Cobble Hill 347-643-9911

What it is: Ceol, which means Music in Gaelic, is an Irish pub, through and through, from the bartenders to the beer to the food to the green paint.
Why we love it: The accents on the bartenders (and most of the clientele); the fact that “one more round” is never the last.
Who to bring: Friends who can relax and get lost at a pub for an entire afternoon, or til the wee hours…
What to order: Shepherd’s pie, fries with bacon and cheddar with one of 15 beers on draft.
Ceol fun fact: The owners, Loretta and Samantha, hail from Dublin and fashioned the place after Loretta’s pa’s pub in Ireland and her experience working with Smithwicks Brewery.

This week, we took it upon ourselves to make the rounds on Smith Street, trolling from Atlantic Avenue to Union Street to find all of the happy hour specials along the way. Although most of the 16 places listed below have similar hours and prices (weekdays 5-8, $3 beers), some standouts caught our eye: Camp’s Recession Thursdays run all night long with $3 well drinks, while Bar Great Harry offers 21 beers on tap as well as well drinks and bottles, all 2 for $5! Once the clock strikes 8 you can always saunter down the block to Gowanus Yacht Club, where $2 and $3 drinks are the norm.
