Its almost St. Patrick's Day and a pint is in order. Look no further than Fitzgerald's Pub in Ballykissangel, Ireland. From 1996 to 2001 the BBC broadcast a fictional drama of the same name featuring real-life Avoca, a small town located south of Dublin. Today the town is a magnet for BallyK fans to see the pub, bridge, and church prominently featured in the six seasons of the show. Sheep (and a few cut-out sheep) still graze in the area, but sadly Eamon Byrne no longer tends the flock and Brian Quigley no longer builds his BallyK pipe dreams. Know that.

This Way to BallyK
