WHAT qualifies a New York bar as Irish? Irish ownership is good; Irish accents behind the bar are better. Multiple ever-flowing Guinness taps with skilled, patient pourers are good; supplementing them with Smithwick's ale and Magners cider on tap is better. Irish flags and Guinness signs are O.K.; old posters from County This and County That are really cool. Even with those qualifications, though, there are dozens if not hundreds of Irish bars to choose from should you be in New York for St. Patrick's Day (or any time). Narrowing the choices is beyond the capacity of a mere American, so this column turned to a group of Irish -- and Scots -- who paid $20 to gather at McCormack's on Third Avenue on a recent Saturday and watch Ireland beat Scotland in the Six Nations rugby tournament.
