Venue questions for Ireland - specifically Irish pubs

"Does this place have an all-you-can-drink option?"  No, it doesn't. Some continental mainland resort hotels and some cruise ships are "all inclusive", effectively meaning they are "all you can drink", but no Irish pub or restaurant does this, because it'd be a breach of the Intoxicating Liquor Act, and the pub would lose it's licence (if it didn't go bankrupt first).  Please remove this question.

 

"Does this place sell beer?"  Yes, it's a pub. Every single pub in Ireland sells beer. It's what they're for. Please remove this question.

 

 "Does this place sell hard liquor?"  What, like... Irish whiskey? Yes, it's a pub.  Every single pub in Ireland sells whisk(e)y, vodka, gin, rum, tequila, etc... Please remove this question.

 

"Does this place sell wine?" Yes, it's a pub. 99.999% of all Irish pubs sell wine. Please remove this question.

 

"Does this place sell artisanal cocktails?"  If you mean "Does this place make an ordinary cocktail but then put it into a jamjar and charge twice the price?" then... I guess yes, some places do that.  But it's not really worth asking unless the venue category is "cocktail bar", as opposed to "pub." What defines "artisanal"?  Please remove this question.

 

"Does this place have a great wine selection?"  Well - define "great"...  My "2 or 3 choices of red, 2 or 3 choices of white, sounds great to me" may not satisfy an actual wine drinker...

 

"Does this place sell craft/microbrewery beer?" A question notable by its absence!  Please add this question!  Ireland used to have just Diageo (Guinness) and Heineken breweries, but those days are over and we now have over 40 micro- and craft breweries.  I'd love to be able to more easily find pubs selling their beer.
