One of the most popular "shots," if you can even call it that, at McNellies are Irish Car Bombs. They are particularly favored by the staff, which should be a good indication they're something to write home about. For those who are unfamiliar with the Irish Car Bomb, allow me to explain how this shot works.
A pint glass is filled about half way full of Guinness. A a mixture of an Irish Cream and Irish whiskey, usually Baileys and Jameson, are poured into a shot glass. The shot glass is dropped into the glass of Guinness, then immediately chugged. You can't take this shot slowly or it will began to curdle, which is pretty disgusting. I don't even like the word curdle, much less the effect. But when taken properly, this shot is quite tasty and fun.
As the name may indicate, this is a rather potent concoction. It's one of those drinks that tends to sneak up on you, so drink with caution. It will definetley get the job done. Normally a rather pricey drink at $6.50, this week Irish Car Bombs are on special for $4.00! So, come on in and knock back a few. And if you have a few too many, take a cab! City cab: 582-3333 or Yellow cab:587-6611

Better yet make it a Chocolate Turkey. -Tim
City cabs number is missing a number somewhere 582-333 Might want to edit it.
I will be sure to try one of these sometime this week.
6.50 sounds pretty cheap when you consider when I was first introduced to the Car Bomb back in 2001, I was in South Korea, and the only bar in town that had Guinness charged $10 a can, and the Base Exchange rarely stocked it, and rationed it too!
Thanks, Tim, on your Chocolate Turkey suggestion. Whatever decreases the chances of me cleaning up anyone's puke, I'm all for.
a college favorite of mine, it usually ended up with a few people throwing up in the basement, nonetheless a good and fun drink.
