I,d like to invite all the overland bikers to my new pub in Medellin! We,ve got beer,beef and hot chics. Medellin if you didn,t know is the biker Mecca in South America.We,ve got the best roads,climate and servicing for any bike you might have. The pub is two blocks from the KTM,Kawasaki,Honda and Yamaha dealers!!! I have been dealing with bike travellers since 2002 and have a wealth of knowledge I,m willing to share.Just drop by and ask The Shamrock Irish Pub and Grill Carrera35 #8a-11 El Poblado Medellin Home phone 582 1802 Cell 313 516 4143 Everywhere else is Shite!!!
Shit. Now I have to ride back. Did the Parrilla turn into an Irish Pub with Argentinian meat? I'm headed north in a couple of weeks amigo. Should be back your way in a few months.
Awesome. Planning a trip to Medellin in January (flying from Panama). I'll come see ya! Any suggestions on hotels near your pub would be great. Gracias!
Fish and Chips? You got fish and chips there? Are they as good as what you had at The Turtles Head? And why did you pick such a non-scatological name?
I dont understand the name. I know what a turtles head and a barking spider are, but shamrock, I'm not so sure. Do we get kicked out if we fall off the stool and throw up on the floor?
Good deal. I'll be looking for new and different beers sometime in the early part of next year and will be sure to swing by and check it out
Hey Al. congratulations for this new bar. I am sure going to visit you on my next trip to Medellin. claude
Congrats Al! Great timing for me...I'll be in the neighborhood in a week or so! Count me in for some pints!
Many thanks for all your support boys! The pub is doing nicely and it,s been great having all of you come by and I,m looking forward to many more nights shooting the shit about Bikes and roads and near death incidents!!! We,ve now finally got some Guinness in and the steaks as better than ever! Feel free to drop by anytime new and old vistors welcome! Especially Vinnie and the Goat,who spent way more time and money than necessary!!! God bless,em! If you,re really unlucky you may even get to stay here!!! Al
Hey Al...great meeting and hanging out with you! I enjoyed my stay at the at the Shamrock....thanks! Guys, he's not lying about the hot chicks! Let's just say he was clearly very selective in his hiring practices!
Steak sounds good, as does a good burger and fries. That is, when I get tired of scarfing down delicious deep fried artery clogging empanadas!! Getting my house ready to sell now. Also checking on shipping companies to ship my bike from Houston to Medellin. Hope to be dodging Colombian cagers by April, if not sooner. Will stop by for some grub and Aguardiente! :dg
Must of just killed a scotsman like you to open an Irish pub. Went on a trip to Germany to ride around. Planning a sailing trip from Finland this summer. Still have that Freewind in Ecuador. I'll have to go back, sell it and upgrade to KTM in Colombia. Jeff Scotsman moves to Canada and attends his first baseball game. The first batter approaches the batters' box, takes a few swings and then hits a double. Everyone is on their feet screaming "Run!!!" The next batter hits a single. The Scotsman listens as the crowd again cheers "RUN!! RUN!!" The Scotsman is enjoying the game and begins screaming with the fans. The fifth batter comes up and four balls go by. The Umpire calls: "Walk." The batter starts his slow trot to first base. The Scot stands up and screams, "Run ye lazy bastard rrrun!" The people around him begin laughing. Embarrassed, the Scot sits back down. A friendly fan notes the man's embarrassment, leans over and explains, "He can't run -- he has four balls." The Scot stands up and screams: "Walk with pride, Laddie!"
Mmm...I was just beginning to wonder about an Irish pub in Colombia. St.Patrick's day will see me celebrating my 5th anniversary on the road and now that you've got Guinness...
The GUINNESS fairys have indeed shown up at last! So we,ll be lookin g for a few bikers to liven up the proceedings here at the Shamrock. Don,t forget wear green or get your fokin teeth knocked out in true Irish style Al
I passed thru medellin last summer,I wish I had known about this place then as I am partial to a good pint of the black stuff from time to time. Mabe next time.
