Check out one of two 9 Irish locations in town. A great spot for watching Soccer, catching up with friends and family over their repeatedly acclaimed "Best Irish food in Indiana", or over a pint of Guinness and cocktails. Leend has it, Guinness stopped having their international Pour Contests, because Jerry and team won it too many times in a row! Enjoy this local favorite near campus!
