I dunno about the Guinness, but "the 40 foot" pub (with a wonderful terrace for summer dining) and the yacht club in Dun Laoire are all pretty nice hangouts, good atmosphere, nice sea views and sailors a-plenty.

The yacht club holds sailing suppers that visiting sailors are encouraged to attend, and it's a good way for people like you to get to meet the sailing community, enquire at the clubhouse when you arrive.
