  • "In this delightful journey from Cork to Donegal the author never passed a bar with his name on it."@en
  • "This book is the result of a lifelong love affair with Ireland. On an odyssey taking him from Cork to Donegal, the author challenges his idyllic memories of childhood summers spent in Ireland and finds the charm of the Irish people still remains."
  • "Despite the many exotic places Pete McCarthy has visited, he finds that nowhere can match the particular magic of Ireland, his mother's homeland ... he journeys from Cork to Donegal. Travelling through spectacular landscapes, but at all times obeying the rule, 'Never Pass a Bar That Has Your Name On It, he encounters McCarthy's Bars up & down the land, meeting fascinating, friendly & funny people before pleading to be let out a four o'clock in the morning."@en
  • ""It was half past five in the morning as I lurched through the front door of the B&B. Mrs. O'Sullivan appeared just in time to see me pause to admire the luminous Virgin holy water stand with integral night-light, and knock it off the wall. Politely declining the six rounds of ham sandwiches on the tray she was holding, I edged gingerly along the hallway to the wrong bedroom door and opened it." Despite the many exotic places Peter McCarthy has visited, he finds that nowhere else can match the particular magic of Ireland, his mother's homeland. In McCarthy's Bar, his journey begins in Cork and continues along the west coast to Donegal in the north. Traveling through spectacular landscapes, but at all times obeying the rule, "never pass a bar that has your name on it," he encounters McCarthy's bars up and down the land, meeting fascinating people before pleading to be let out at four o'clock in the morning. Through adventures with English hippies who have colonized a desolate mountain; roots-seeking, buffet-devouring American tourists; priests for whom the word "father" has a loaded meaning; enthusiastic Germans who "here since many years holidays are making;" and his fellow barefoot pilgrims on an island called Purgatory, Peter pursues the secrets of Ireland's global popularity and his own confused Irish-Anglo identity. Written by someone who is at once an insider and an outsider, McCarthy's Bar is a wonderfully funny and affectionate portrait of a rapidly changing country."@en
  • "A journey of discovery in Ireland. A hilarious travel book."@en
  • "'Never pass a bar that has your name on it, ' says the eighth rule of travel; a very rewarding rule if your name is McCarthy and you're wandering through the west of Ireland. As he meanders from Cork to Donegal, Peter encounters many McCarthy bars in which he explores his confused Irish-Anglo identity with colourful, friendly and funny people, before pleading to be let out at hour o'clock in the morning."@en
  • "Reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, the author admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, he sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways."@en
