I'm trying to find an Irish bar in Daegu in which to celebrate St. Paddy's Day. Does anyone know of any? I don't think I've ever encountered a town without one, authentic or not...

I noticed an Irish bar in Gyeongbuk last night - at least an attempt at an Irish themed bar, anyway. I didn't visit, but it is called O'Kim's [groan] and it is opposite the bus stop outside Gyeongbuk University's North Gate. You can't miss the signage - huge green lit O'Kim's on the 2nd or 3rd floor of a building directly opposite the large Daegu bank next to the North Gate.

There's a pub called Old Blue behind cell phone street downtown, exit 12 Banwoldang. You might also want to try the Ariana Hotel in Su-seong(?)and see if they are celebrating.

Across from Ansan Park there's an Irish pub. Unfortunately, I've been p*ssed everytime I've been there, so I can't remember the name.

O'Kim's in Daegu? What's he going to do for St. Patty's Day? Serve green kimchi? Laughing
Wake up guys! He's not an irish pub! Just some Korean selling Guiness for 8000 won a pint, right?
Sounds like you're missing home.

Sorry...perhaps p*ssed is a slang term your not aware of. It means drunk.

What do you think Irish people would think of O'Kims?
Another thing I am wondering is if I can get a hunk of grilled squid with my Guiness?

Anthony (the Brit) has moved on to greener pastures. People's Club is still there, but under new management.
