The Blarney Stone is one of the oldest and most authentic irish bars in Amsterdam. Unlike most of the irish theme bars that litter europe and other parts of the world, the Blarney is the type of bar you'll find in most rural parts of Ireland. The owner, Paddy, comes from Tralee, co.Kerry and has lived in Amsterdam for many years, Little Paddy,the manager, from Kildare has also been here for a long time.The bar has been in existance since 1989. The staff are very friendly and come from various parts of the world. We are situated in the centre of the city, two minutes from central station, five minutes from Dam square and ten minutes from the red light district.
The customers
Our customers come from all over the world. A lot of our clients are tourists who find themselves at home in our bar.They know they can meet people who speak their own language.You'll find an aussie talking to a scotsman or a brazilian girl having a chat with a guy from Trinidad.On any night of the week you can talk to an american, south american, scandinavian,ethiopian or a kiwi. Most of our regulars (various nationalities) have been working here in Amsterdam for quite a while.We get our fair share or dutch people as well .They like to sample a pint of guinness or kilkenny too. Some people you meet might be a bit eccentric but you'll find them in Ireland as well.
