Celtic Tavern: This downtown pub celebrates all things Celtic, which includes Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Cornish culture, beer and whiskey (1801 Blake St.; 303-308-1795). For those the ‘burbs, try the Celtic Tavern at Riverside Downs (2620 W. Belleview Ave., Littleton; 303-795-0709).
Fado’s Irish Pub: Pronounced “f'doe,” the name is an Irish expression meaning "long ago." This LoDo Irish pub offers Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's and more, as well as combos of all of them poured from the tap (1735 19th St.; 303-297-0066).
The Fainting Goat: Located in the Golden Triangle, this Irish pub has the bonus of an awesome rooftop bar (846 Broadway; 303-945-2323).
