Most Saturday nights - JACK QUINN'S ALEHOUSE & IRISH PUB
     21 S. Tejon Street
     Colorado Springs, CO
     80903

Big Paddy plays an energetic, rowdy show here, usually to a shall we say lively crowd, most Saturday evenings from 9:30pm until 1am.   A warm and highly atmospheric pub, located in downtown Colorado Springs.  All wood panelling and warm golden lighting, there is a stage in the downstairs surrounded by wooden tables that are just right for pounding, and it is here that the crimson banners on Big Paddy's speakers stand tall.  The food is good hearty Irish-inspired stuff, like Shepherd's Pie and Boxties, and the Guinness and Jamesons and Glenlivet flow easily and often.   The pub's webpage is

FINNEGAN'S WAKE in Avon
     82 E Beaver Creek Blvd.
     Avon, CO
     81620
     (970) 748-4610

Big Paddy plays occasionally at Finnegan's Wake in Avon, and often plays a St.Paddy's Day show there.  Check back here or on the mailing-list for updated information on the next Finnegan's Wake show.

From the Vail Daily News:  "Dark and rustic wood speaks volumes about the feel of Finnegan's Wake, the new Irish Pub in Avon.  It's almost like you can hear the history whispering in the background.  And unlike its European counterparts, this pub is open until 2 a.m., serving food until 1 a.m.

To the left of the bar is the "Victorian" side of the pub.  Featuring high-backed chairs and proper tables, this area is reminiscent of a Victorian parlor, complete with large rocking chairs.  On the right of the bar is the "country" side, with a large stone fireplace and distressed wood used as tabletops in the booths.  This side of the bar displays a more rustic side of life in the British Isles.  Distressed wood was used in much of the downstairs bar, giving it true old-world flair.  Custom carving on the bar is almost overpowered by the neon-green backlit shamrock hiding the kegs of Guinness and Smithwick's.  Upstairs is another bar entirely.  Isolated from the more elaborate downstairs, the upstairs bar offers patrons a more relaxed atmosphere.
