Mais au delà de l'ambiance (irlandaise) fidèlement restituée, il convient de noter que ce pub est le point de ralliement des étudiants Erasmus et que ce bar, normalement très anglophone devient en quelques heures une tour de Babel au cœur de Rennes. De plus, fidèle à la réputation de l'établissement qui occupait ces murs autrefois, le O'connell's s'efforce d'assurer un service de restauration avec un mot d'ordre simple : copieux. Des salades aux menus en passant par les sandwiches, l'objectif semble être de rassasier la clientèle et de lui faire apprécier son café ("Illy", les connaisseurs apprécieront). Enfin, le O'connell's peut aussi être l'endroit rêvé pour vivre la retransmission d'un match de foot ou de rugby.

Aménagé sur deux niveaux avec deux bars, le Saint-Patrick permet toutes les ambiances et c'est sans doute pour cela que chacun y trouve sa place. D'ailleurs, on croise dans cette petite Irlande toutes les générations et aussi toutes les nationalités. Une programmation variée de concerts réjouira tous les amateurs de musiques celtiques. L'établissement propose six bières bretonnes et irlandaises à la pression ainsi qu'une gamme de whisky intéressante, les "Degré Naturel" comme "The Copers Choice" et plusieurs whiskys arrangés.

Aside from being a very cool place to have some dinner and hang out with the French fare, this…read moreplace was really a life saver. On our trip to the Normandy region of France we got in pretty late to the City of Angers and after finishing up settling in we went out on the hunt for something to eat. Lucky for us after a relatively short walk, we came across Matt Murphy's Irish Pub. I can't say how happy I was to see a pub style establishment that was open as it was pretty late. The food, beer, service was excellent and the owner behind the bar was extremely friendly and helpful as well. They appreciated my speaking and ordering in French; however, they were very cool and spoke to us in English as well with none of the stereotype attitudes we have all heard about. We kept it simple and had a cheeseburger, fries and the fish and chips. Overall the menu has a little for everyone with all the typical items you would expect to see at a pub. Comfort food for the perfect end to a perfect day. I mean we are in France!! C'est magnifique! So if you find yourself If you find yourself visiting Angers and want a laid back atmosphere to let your hair down, have a few pints of beer, a little food and recount the days activities then Matt Murphy's fits the bill. You can't miss it as it is on the main drag in the center of the City! Enjoy and Bonjour!

So sit down shut up and read my alcohol induced review of the bar that i never remember but never forget. Great bar, hot girls, and amazing potato wedges. After you enjoy 6 jager bombs in a row, the bar top in the place to go to let of some steam. Once the bouncer force-ably makes you get off the bar because you took of your shirt and started grinding to "my hips don't lie" by shakira, the outside bar is the place to go to have a smoke and get harassed. Love this bar.

Most of my admiration for this little Irish bar comes from its attachment to my study abroad…read moreexperience. Most of the kids from my program went here very often, as it was about two blocks away from our school, on rue Bressigny, which is a great street full of restaurants, kabobs, and patisseries we also frequented. We organized a thanksgiving party, concerts, and even a beer pong tournament here! The bar is often full of foreigners, so you should keep this in mind when considering your mood. And it's definitely nothing fancy. But the beer is cheap (sometimes cheaper for students) and you can get ten half pints in long box called a meter for a crowd! Also, bring memorabilia from your hometown or school and they'll hang it on their wall!

It's a classic French bar that skews younger than some of the pubs. I loved that they had charcuterie and the beers were priced very fairly. Pubs line the streets throughout Angers, so you have options. The reason this one was a good option was mainly that it wasn't far from Université-Catholique-de-l'ouest. It's also a bit brighter and livelier than some of the Irish themed pubs. Mainly going down memory lane here, and realizing I never reviewed spots in France, so wanted to chime in that this is a fun spot!
