Sunday, Day 13 of the pub tour.
Hitting three states today, let’s hope the weather holds for Tim as he treks through
Lousiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
First Stop, New Orleans.
Finn McCool’s
Looking for authentic Irish in the Big Easy? You found it! These guys are actually from Belfast and they came here in 2006.
Yes, they love football…but not your kind of football. They fill their big screens with world soccer matches. Finn McCool’s is known for their love and support of football all across the world. If you ever wanted to enjoy the rich sports culture of Ireland from afar, they offer a variety of leagues including Bundesliga, Champions League, La Liga, English and Scottish Premier Leagues, MLS and many more. All U.S. National team games are shown, as well as the widest selection of international matches. Major tournaments such as The World Cup, Euro Cup, Gold Cup and others are mainstays of the viewing experience.
To support this variety we offer 9 indoor screens* and two outdoor screens.** These include several “64-inch LCD screens as well as an 8-foot and a 6 –foot projection screen. No matter the match you will always find supporters for your side at Finns. They bring passion, knowledge and a love for competition and good sport. Sláinte!
And the name — Finn McCool was a legendary Irish giant of lore. Yes, he was probably a soccer fan, too.

Stop number two for Sunday
Bulldog
6111 Ridgewood Rd,
Jackson, MS 39211
These folks post very little on their website in terms of their history, but they have one great looking pub. Both the interior and exterior are very sharp. Tim will feel right at home imbibing with the crowd here.
Final Stop for the day is Birmingham, Alabama.
This is in an historic district and one can see from the ornate front of the building that this is classy and large. Buck Mulligan is yet another Irish pub that is slim on words and prefers to just have you come on down and drink. Just up the Street from the university, so it should be packed with younger folk.
Very few photos, but enough to give you the full flavor of the place.
Call to insure Tim will be there when you are.
