The Bar: Tucked inside a strip mall (as most good dives are). As we approached the bar, we were greeted by a over-powered security guard. This guy had cuffs, night stick, pepper spray, and a tiny badge on his belt, can't imagine it gets that crazy there. Anyway... the bar... and Irish pub. Inside the walls were made of wood, with a brick wall on the back and a stage tucked in the corner, which had a band on it offering Live Karaoke. Neat concept, which apparently I think I can do after 3 beers and 3 shots....not so much. The bar itself was U-shaped with one bartender...who happened to be the owner Greg. Seats about 12 patrons with a few booths and tables scattered around the inside.
The Crowd: When we first arrived, the place seems pretty quiet, but once the band got going, it livened up quite a bit. A mix of college kids and retirees.
Service: Fast.This bartender was on his A game tonight.
Prices: Fair. $10 domestic pitchers, $14.50 imported pitchers. $5.00 Fireball Shots.
Entertainment: Live music, Live Karaoke, Internet Jukebox, 2 pool tables.
Restroom: Fabulous. It actually smelled better then the rest of the bar. Cleanest I've ever seen. "I want that head so sanitary and squared-away that the Virgin Mary herself would be proud to go in and take a dump." - Gunnery Sergeant Hartman
Closing statement: With no intentions of going out this evening, we had an absolute blast. Frequenting this neighborhood often, we had no idea this place even existed, but we plan on making many more return trips.

We rate Fitzgeralds a 5 out of 5.
