Beer Hall in Dublin

    Hi All,
    Just thought I'd plug a pub that I think is doing things right.

    The Bull and Castle, (formerly the Castle Inn) has now got a great selection of craft beers, including two beers from Cork's Franciscan Well brewery; Blarney Blonde and Rebel Lager, as well as Erdinger Weissbier, Budejovice Budvar, Staropramen and Krombacher, all on tap. They also have a great range of bottled beers, including the excellent Goose Island IPA.

    The upstairs has been turned into a Bavarian style beer hall, where you can get a beer in a litre glass, if you like.

    A full review of the Bull and Castle can be read here: http://www.irishcraftbrewer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=57&Itemid=64

    Checked it out last Saturday and I will be coming back.
    I only hope it doesn't turn into some tourist trap.

    Was there last friday great beer but terrible food. COnsidering they are owned by the FXB Group which includes a farm you would think they could cook a steak to medium, but no it was creamated.

    Would go back but only for beers.

    That is surprising. I would have sent the steak back. If I say medium, I expect medium.

    I had muscles in cream and white wine sauce there a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious.

    Last time i was there I had steak cooked to medium and it was delicious. Very tender and juicy, loved it (McArdles was the drink matched i think). The only negitave i might have would be the size of their portions. Little bit small...

    I must check this place out the next time I'm in Dublin. Blarney Blonde is gorgeous. :)

    A couple of us from the Film Production forum went there to plan our project for the Fast Forward Film Festival about 2 months back and it was very nice... Didn't think much of the food either though.

    Not a fan of FXBs myself. Would go out of my way to avoid it.
