which pubs in city centre do good pints of guinness?

an extremely inportant thread im sure you will all agree.
it can be fairly hit and miss as you know yourself and normally the "young peoples" pubs/clubs which i frequent do a dreadful jar.

so where in dublin is the good guinness?

keoghs on south anne street is one i like.

any other suggestions?

It's a rip off though. Really hate the fact that it has jacked up its prices over the last while simply because its become more popular. €5.40 for a pint of carlsberg last weekend

Kenny's on James's Street.

The Stag's Head, Dame Lane.

I was in Fitzgeralds beside O'Connell Bridge (westmoreland st side) for the very first time recently for the Chelsea vs Barcelona match. Got two lovely pints in there.

Thomas House, quality Guinness at 4 quid, can't go wrong.

Brogans on Dame street.

Stags Head.

Worst pint of Guinness has to be the Workmans, completely undrinkable.

The Old Harbour on Echlin St does the best Guinness I've ever tasted - it's right beside the brewery too, whether that helps or not - but it's delicious.

I'd also go with The Long Hall, Lord Edward, Madigans (Abbey St) and Fallons

Was in Peters a few weeks back. €4.90 for a Guinness I think it was. Pint was nothing to write home about either. Definitely wont be going back in
Always got a decent pint in the grand central in the front. Back bar can be hit or miss.
