Best Pint of Guinness in Dublin?

Bottleofwater

Where's that to be found then...

Gae

Mulligan's on Poolbeg Street, IMO

henryporter

Palace Bar, Fleet Street or the Long Hall on Georges Street are both very tasty

Going by past reactions I must be one of few people who thought Bruxelles used to have good pints.
The Palace as mentioned and I found Cassidys on Wexford Street, Slatterys of Rathmines, the Sackville Lounge to have nice pints

O'Donoghues Baggot st.

gaffneys in fairview is brilliant. the crossbar in harolds cross and the halfway house in walkinstown are very good too

Chaplins on Hawkins Street do a lovely pint as does The Clock on Thomas Street.

+ 1 for Chaplins, it tends to get over looked as it's so close to Mulligans. Personally I think Chaplins is better.
Other great pint pubs, Ryans on Queen st does a beautiful pint. The Lower Deck and Ryans on Wexford street are good too. Bowes on Fleet street is an other great spot.
But my favourite is Fallons in the Coombe. Consistantly great pint.

It's a well known fact that the best pint of Guinness in Dublin is at Hartigans on Leeson St., just at the corner of St. Stephens Green.

Kehoe's, South Anne Street - are there any other pubs in Dublin?

The Guinness bar (no craic though).
The Long Hall (between camden and georges street so can crawl on up to a club)
Duffys of Malahide

+ 1 for Fallons in the Coombe.

Also, Brogans on Dame St, Bowes on Fleet St (although, I haven't been in quite a while, but I reckon they still do a good one), and The Lord Edward at Christchurch.

Ah Brogans, I love the spot but the Guinness is nowhere near as good as the other places mentioned. Pity as it used to be top notch. Still good craic in there esp. when the rugby is on.

Oh and Kennedy's on Tara street is great too (hope it opens back up soon)
Oh oh, and Devitt's on Camden street.

Don't drink Guinness but was in The Oval on Abbey St with a mate before and he said it was a lovely pint of Guinness he had.

Fallons or Hartigans on the southside. Downeys and the Gravediggers on the northside. All four are consistent pints.

Squelchy

The Pebblebeach in Clontarf has a tasty one.
Shame they don't deliver.
The Bloody Stream out in Howth.

Fallon's do a lovely one too, I'd agree there.
I'm partial to The Swan on Aungier street as well.

Gravediggers in Glasnevin. Can't be beaten.

Raytown Rocks

Clarkes Bar

Judging by the forum you mod Dave, I see you have fallen off the wagon

O'Connells South Richmond Street, a few doors down from the Portobello.

Fantastic pint, always a newspaper knocking around too

(its a pity the Portobello is gone such a kip lately, used to be a decent oul spot)

Older established boozers in the city are hard to beat when it comes to the best pint of Guinness.

Ryan's Pub in James's Street is exceptional I think, for Guinness

O'Donohues, Merrion Row

Kitty Kiernans (formally the Jolly Beggarman) on Collins Ave does a great pint in the bar. So does Dohenny and Nesbits on Baggot street but the best pint in dublin is in the Guinness Store house!!!!

Judgement Day

Surely the quality (enjoyment) of a pint of Guinness is to some extent influenced by its surroundings? I mean the very fact of drinking Guinness in a tourist trap like the Storehouse would ruin it for me, just as surely as drinking a pint of Guinness out of a branded lager glass.

After two years living in Dublin I can't say that I ever had a BAD pint. You guys are incredibly lucky to have a bar tradition that takes pride in serving a good pint every time. Call for a Guinness here in Jersey or in the UK and the barman/girl will invariably just throw it into the glass and push the foaming result hopefully in your direction.

However I can't recall a memorable pint, one that stands out ahead of the rest. Being of a certain age I tend to frequent 'old man' pubs. (I simply avoid the city centre superpubs and younger crowds, and probably wouldn't get into a club ) One or two bars not mentioned here which I particulary look forward to visiting are Doolan's (Hogan Place), WJ Kavanagh's (Dorset Street) and the Yacht (Ringsend).

The only pint I've objected to wasn't in Dublin but in Barry's (Douglas) where they served it ice-cold and I was told that 'everyone likes it that way' :eek:

Was in Brogans couple of days ago and the pint was a hell of a lot better than the time previous. Had a good few few to make sure!

Walsh's in Stoneybatter, the best I've had I think.

Cheers for the plug, its myself and two others that post on here (both of whom have considerably more posts than me!!) on run CHTM. We reckon we've visited over 120 pubs in Dublin at this point. My three favourite pints so far have been Brogan's (its my local, and I've never gotten a bad pint in the place) Kehoes and The Dame Tavern.

I've heard it said that Guinness staff recommend the pints in Brogan's. Used to love the pint in Mulligan's, but it has gone downhill of late.

Who said that, Ben? I love Brogans too but don't think it is the best pint in town. Where else can ya meet the stars of "Leap Year" and rip the piss out of them (well the direction team any way)

Haha, Ben? Sure you don't get much out of Ben bar a sneer and a "grazie" when eh gives you your change! John on the other hand, top lad. Love the place myself, have had some epic sessions there. I think it was one of the lads from CHTM! who gave a walking tour to some Guinness workers and they said it to him!

The rugby sessions are things of legend. Once you get in under the tv you;re in for the night!

Must know you to see so, I'm always in Ben's with a big crowd of loopers for the rugby!

EDIT: Sorry for dragging the thread off topic Mods. Still bigging up Brogan's pints

I haven't been in there in ages! I must go back again.

Oh, and Kavanaghs up the top of Stoneybatter used to do a great pint, and hopefully still does! The bar is a bit sterile though...

BraziliaNZ

there's a pub in dun laoghaire where they pour all the pints of Guinness in one. No difference at all in taste, and head the same size. This is coming from a Guinness enthusiast. Makes you wonder.

Toners Baggot St.,Fallons The Coombe and Smyth's Haddington St.
