The Inn at Long Trail has been a favorite watering hole of hikers for
many decades. McGraths's
Irish Pub was the first location in Vermont to serve Guinness Stout
on tap, and still serves more than any other public house in the state.
Locals, hikers, skiers, and other friends of foam and fiddle gather
on Saturday nights for live Irish music.
The Inn was the site of the first Northeast Letterboxing Gathering in
November, 1999, and the McGrath's Irish Pub letterbox was created for the
occasion. (Click here for Rae Record's pictures.)
The walls of the pub are decorated with many Irish posters (and bottles)
and letterboxers must be prepared to use double-vision to find this one.
