I had some beautiful creamy pints in Foleys (old small claws) on Sunday
Nancys (inside) does a tasty pint
The Munster Fair Tavern does an excellent pint as does Rashers

Dont want to sound controversial but the influx of foreign workers in bars has really led to the decline of the standard of Guinness
Luckily enough the places i named have (mostly) Irish staff

you will get 20 replies naming 15 different pubs.

see "what's the best takaway"...

DJKAV

whats wrong with 20 replys naming diffrent pubs what i like about the dog is It has a lovely atmosphere, a nice alternative crowd, and lovely pints. It also has music and other things going on sometimes which are pretty interesting too. I don't get a chance to go there very often, but I try to make it every once in a while. I reckon the guiness is the best around ..

thats just me ..

WHAT ABOUT DISCOS. where is the best and worst pint and people ?

PA.

styer

Myles Breens does a good pint... most places that aren't packed are decent enough...

styer

pints in clubs... forget about it... shorts or bottles only...

the OP is asking for the BEST pint and not A pint in LIM.

it's the kind of question. limerick has (allegedly) threehundredsixtysomething pubs. there will never be an agreement on a BEST pint as there are to many choices. 20 people will name 20 different pubs. that's a great help to the OP's question, isn't it?! he has the choice now between 20 BEST pints out of 20 pubs.

the same happened in the "best takaway in limerick" thread. everybody named a different chipper as the best one. at the end almost every single chipper in this benighted was mentioned. and what is the best chipper now? no agreement.

this kind of very subjective questions is just ridiculous because you wont get an ultimate answer...

100% agree

I've noticed that the Still House on Thomas St does lager with very creamy heads, always a welcome thing! Tom Collins bar on Cecil St also serves great pints with a good atmosphere, you meet the most interesting of people in there too

Collins in Dooradoyle has a decent pint. Had a few earlier and no complaints ! Then again, its down to the company to top it off.:D

opelmanta

For me its definitely the country club or fennessys

Henry Ford III

Quite a few good hostelries.

Souths, Breens, Tom Collins, Fennesseys, Bobby Byrnes, O'Sheas (Ballysimon).

sioda

Is the country club still open??

Or the davin for that matter??

I know this thread is about guinness but to dave opening another what about the best pint of lager in town??

CheltenhamJ

country club is still open but its soon to be knocked and apartments, shops etc. to be built on the site, i think they're going to re-open a small bar when its done. davin still there but not for long, it's very soon to be knocked and a lidl built in its place. I still cant understand lidl paying that much for a site, surely they could have got a site on the northside alot cheaper???


sorry for wandering off topic there a little!!

sioda

Thanks RIN

mccutchie

Munster Fair Tavern, best pint in Limerick, Guiness or Lager, Full stop. Others that take great pride in the quality of their pints are:
Tom Collins
Sheas

Add the Curragower to that and the list is complete. These are the ones usually thrown around in best pint conversations and from here you can choose your personal favourite.

Fantastic pint in Bowles

Wouldn't be gone on the pint in Souths. The pint in Bobbys seems to be quite cold, but its a really nice pint. All the others I'd have to agree with.

The Gate by the Abbey Bridge is a very underrated spot, and probably the best pint I've had in town.

Also I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the few I had in the Ardhu after the Limerick Kerry match, there was a bit of a crowd there too with the soccer on as well, which sometimes isn't helpful, but to be fair there were no complaints from our group - generally spot on.

Yeah, the Guinness there is surprisingly good.

depends on what you are drinking.

I usually drink Paulaner if its available but the Heineken in rashers is just ridiculously good! You actually can't get a better pint!

Now I say this as somebody who has frequented in basically every bar in Limerick. After that it's probably myles breens but still way off rashers!

L.T.P.

Pint of Heineken in The Office Bar is good!!

If you got a nice pint of heineken they must have served you something else by mistake, heineken is rank.

It's the best of the "commercial" beers by a mile. I wouldnt drink bud or miller or that ****e.

I usually drink paulaner or spaten or polish beers but i drink heineken if im out and cant get the other stuff but its savage when you get a good pint

Myles Breens or Tom Collins's for Guinness. I've found these two to be head and shoulders above anywhere else i've been.

O'Connells being voted best pint in Limerick last year was laughable:rolleyes:

Insect Overlord

I'd be a bit young for Tom Collins' and Myles Breen's, but I had two perfect pints in Mickey Martin's last night. Flawless Guinness.

savagecabbages

Aren't we all!

I've not been in Tom Collins's since it was cleaned up, but a pint in Myles Breens is a work of art.

I'd only rate Mickeys middle of the road, good, but not spectacular! The atmosphere in Mickeys is its primary attraction for me.

i drink a good bit in town and i would have to say that Myles Breens is the best pint ive had, Tom Collins not far behind. Windmill and Willie Sextons are fair to good but nothing exceptional (although they are my locals).The greenhills main bar also has a great and consistent pint in my opinion, which is a bit unusual for a hotel bar.

Not unusual really. Most lines are cleaned on a bi-weekly basis and having a consistent staff pulling pints you can't go wrong really.
