picture of Waxy OConnors
More theme park than pub, this cavernous, never-ending pub is truly enormous. A full-grown tree in the middle of the pub adds to the Tolkein-esque air of the place. Still, it does serve a mean pint of (rather rare nowadays) Beamish and a decent enough pint of the other dark stuff. Overall though, it's about as authentically Irish as an inflatable leprechaun.
