The main entrance to Irish Times is in the back alley, which makes it seem like you're back in Dublin, walking through a dimly-lit alley way to get to a friendly, down-home, no-frills Irish pub.
The Irish Times in the Palms area of Los Angeles is exactly the type of pub you'd expect to find wandering the streets of Ireland itself. A dark and small little spot, this place immediately gives off an intimate and neighborly feel as soon as you enter through its heavy wooden doors. The forest green flower boxes outside and its matching forest green window panes let patrons know straight away that this is going to be the type of place that kicks it with a retro vibe. Inside there are a few long tables for larger groups, booths, and of course the main bar while you'll see lots of locals grabbing a pint of Guinness. In fact, this place received the "perfect pint" award from Guinness itself. While the Irish Times draws in a steady stream of regulars that know the menu and the bartenders like the back of their hand, this spot also attracts young crews looking to really immerse themselves in the chill European feel that the Irish Times has. Especially on St. Patty's Day, you can expect this place to be packed to the brim with people from all over craving that homey Irish vibe. There are pool tables and a couple televisions, but the main draw of this place is simply the good drinks, the uncomplicated food, and conversation with friends. Grab some green beads and get ready to enjoy some good company and some even better whiskey at the Irish Times.
