Good luck on getting any other flavored coffee there, even though one bartender would take pity on me and make it an Amaretto coffee since I truly don't like whiskey. Bailey's was never used since it is a cream whiskey. The trick is to get the cream to float. Oh, and don't ask for decaf. Those bartenders have Irish rolling eyes down to a fine art.
Had my first Irish coffee ever at Buena Vista in 1977. For Irish coffee lovers this video should be a treat:
