Monday is the new Friday at the Blarney Stone Pub in Clairemont. It’s difficult to pack a bar at the beginning of the week, but the Blarney Stone consistently goes off.
Featuring such local mainstays as Allison Gill and Fever Crotch (Sean O’Donnell of Reeve Oliver and Matt Gorney of Bad Credit), patrons definitely getting their money’s worth (no cover). While they’re interested in providing quality music, these performers know the crowd is also there for the entertainment—meaning instrumentation often takes a backseat to humor.
Gill plays the first set around 9:30pm, followed by the Crotch. Both sets consist mostly of covers with a few brilliant originals mixed in. Feel free to sing along at the top of your lungs—everyone else does. Most nights, Dallas Mclaughlin (Bad Credit, FM 94.9) will contribute with some old-school rap, and the Bumble Bee Tuna guy might get on a chair and invade some poor unsuspecting newbie’s personal space (if you’re lucky).
On August 13th the regular Monday night crowd at “the Stone” will be all decked out prom style for the Messed Up Monday’s 5th anniversary.
The Blarney Stone Pub in Clairemont is located behind (back and to the left) the Vons at Balboa & Gennesse. Sure it sounds sketchy, but I assure you it’s worth it.
