Syracuse, N.Y. — Walking through the door at Coleman’s Authentic Irish Pub in Syracuse, I was reminded of how important it is that some things never change. The entrance and telephone booth out front for leprechaun usage. The dark wood of the bar and the regular characters found sitting at it. The photo of President Franklin D. Roosevelt above the cash register. The decades worth of mug club members memorialized by their steins on display.
The art of a well-poured Guinness Stout ($6.50), full of nitrogen-fueled bubbles racing from the bottom of the glass to the finger-wide head of foam at the top.
