Delaneys has about 5 beers on tap and serves a variety of what they call Irish ""pub food,"" although there's very little real Irish food (only Shepherd's Pie). It's terribly mediocre. Definitely don't go there if you're black or gay or not otherwise fitting into Southern conservative mentality. The staff is generally great, but you have to watch out for one of the bartenders, Mark Siegel, who is apparently off his rocker. He continually fights with customers over the littlest things -- sometimes threatening them with arrest if they don't agree with him -- and berates his wait staff in front of customers. Very unpleasant way to spend the evening and very bizarre. Never have seen anything like it. Stay away at all costs There are plenty of other places in Five Points and around Columbia that are much better.
