Plot

Homer neglects Abraham Simpson by not joining him in a three-legged race. At the urging of Marge, Homer decides to make up for it. Abe reminisces about a pub in Dunkilderry, Ireland called O'Flanagan's. He had visited the pub many years ago and had the best night of his life. Homer decides to take Abe there, but things are different as the pub patrons are all yuppies. After a night of drinking, they end up buying the pub from owner Tom O'Flanagan. They discover that pubs are no longer popular in Dunkilderry and they try to get their business going, with help from Moe. The episode also features Irish landmarks including Giant's Causeway, the Blarney Castle and the Guinness Brewery.
