Aside from being a very cool place to have some dinner and hang out with the French fare, this…read moreplace was really a life saver. On our trip to the Normandy region of France we got in pretty late to the City of Angers and after finishing up settling in we went out on the hunt for something to eat. Lucky for us after a relatively short walk, we came across Matt Murphy's Irish Pub. I can't say how happy I was to see a pub style establishment that was open as it was pretty late. The food, beer, service was excellent and the owner behind the bar was extremely friendly and helpful as well. They appreciated my speaking and ordering in French; however, they were very cool and spoke to us in English as well with none of the stereotype attitudes we have all heard about. We kept it simple and had a cheeseburger, fries and the fish and chips. Overall the menu has a little for everyone with all the typical items you would expect to see at a pub. Comfort food for the perfect end to a perfect day. I mean we are in France!! C'est magnifique! So if you find yourself If you find yourself visiting Angers and want a laid back atmosphere to let your hair down, have a few pints of beer, a little food and recount the days activities then Matt Murphy's fits the bill. You can't miss it as it is on the main drag in the center of the City! Enjoy and Bonjour!

Most of the kids from my program went here very often, as it was about two blocks away from our school, on rue Bressigny, which is a great street full of restaurants, kabobs, and patisseries we also frequented. We organized a thanksgiving party, concerts, and even a beer pong tournament here! The bar is often full of foreigners, so you should keep this in mind when considering your mood. And it's definitely nothing fancy. But the beer is cheap (sometimes cheaper for students) and you can get ten half pints in long box called a meter for a crowd! Also, bring memorabilia from your hometown or school and they'll hang it on their wall!

It's not often you find a quality Irish pub located on the Loire in Saumur, France, but The Celtic…read moreis one of a kind! Serving meals all day every day, The Celtic is an ideal place to pop into for a beer, snack or for an evening meal. With seating both outside and upstairs, it's good for group entertaining. Beers and wines are plentiful (Leffe, Hoegarden, Duval and local types sitting comfortably alongside better knowns such as Stella and Guiness!) but suprisingly, The Celtic serves a wide range of alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktails, presented in a strangely tropical and extravagant way that even Del Boy would be proud of! Delicious, and well worth trying, especially the one featuring Papaya and Bacardi. Food wise, the ommellettes are filling (mushroom and fromage a favourite) and the pizzas thin, crispy and delicious. Good old Fish and Chips also makes an appreciated appearance. Recommended pub!

It's a classic French bar that skews younger than some of the pubs. I loved that they had charcuterie and the beers were priced very fairly. Pubs line the streets throughout Angers, so you have options. The reason this one was a good option was mainly that it wasn't far from Université-Catholique-de-l'ouest. It's also a bit brighter and livelier than some of the Irish themed pubs. Mainly going down memory lane here, and realizing I never reviewed spots in France, so wanted to chime in that this is a fun spot!
