When people search for the perfect Irish pub, they want something warm and familiar, maybe even predictable. The Field is all that. You know that when you walk in, Addie O'Connor will be singing her heart out, servers will be maneuvering around tables treating diners like VIPs, and manager Hilary Joyalle will be floating around, making sure everyone has what he or she needs. Guinness will flow, people will chatter in Irish accents, meals will be devoured, shots will be drunk, cigarettes will be smoked (outdoors, of course) and secrets will be told. When it's over, patrons will return home and fall into bed, their hearts beating like a bodhran brought to life by fiddles, uilleann pipes and the taps of a step dancer's shoes as they hit the wooden floor. It's the perfect Irish experience.
