BEST DOWNTOWN BAR

CONNOLLY’S ON 5TH

Staff Pick

If you’re looking for a quiet place to sit and have a drink without hearing any foreign accents, you might want to look elsewhere. Connolly’s is small in size — upstairs and downstairs — but has just enough wiggle room to navigate your way to the old-style bars, especially when a U.S. or Ireland soccer match is on the tube. It has a great traditional Irish pub ambiance with the lights always dimmed and the temperature kept frosty. Maybe if you’re too cold, you should drink more to stay warm. 115 E. 5th St. 704-358-9070 www.connollysirishpub.com
