Sorry, the correct name of the bar is Nine Fine Irishmen. It's a Vegas style re-creation of an Irish Pub...kind of in the same vein as how they recreate New York, Paris, Venice, etc. in their casinos. It's a little too clean to be an authentic Irish Pub, but it's a worthy attempt. I go there everytime I'm in Vegas...even when there's NOT a Pogues concert! There's no slot machines inside the bar...but acres of them right outside. I know they at least have Guinness, Harp, and Bass on draught, and 3-4 others in the same category. I'm a beer drinker, but I recall a fairly extensive list of Scotches and Irish Whiskeys as well. It will be pretty slow before the concert...I plan on kicking things off there around 4-5 p.m. (Along with 4 other buddies). Even a small contingent of Pogues fans will OWN this place. Best of all is the easy access to Mandalay Bay...a stumble acrosss the bridge and a short, FREE ride to the gig! Hope to see you there! P.S. This place often has live Irish music later at night on the weekends, and may be a great place for a Post-Pogues party on Saturday.
