In recent years there has been a fashion for "Irish" bars & pubs in the UK, though they sometimes have nothing Irish about them other than the name. Here on the edge of Kidderminster's town centre in Blackwell Street is this Irish bar. It offers live music and Caffrey's Irish ale brewed apparently by Bass. Update March 2019:- This bar closed several years ago and the address is no longer licensed premises.
