Read, Drink, Repeat
Started by a former high school teacher in 2000, The Dead Poet is a popular Irish Pub that's all about the literature. You'll be reading more than just the menu, with mahogany walls sporting quotes from a list of famous authors and poets. Fancy yourself a member of the Literati? Well now's your chance to show of your knowledge of the Western canon while sipping pretenciously on your drink of choice. Win - Win, clearly.
