    The pints are poison, bottles of Guinness extra stout are where it's at in my belly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,567 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    The fourth.

    That's because Guiness brew special kegs with extra 'goodness' in them, and they get shipped to Blackrock in County Louth.

    Dundalk just gets the same muck that everywhere else in the world gets.

    I understand the creamy consistency one requires and wants with a pint of Guinness, but surely the want of creaminess in a pint is overrated and far too much sought after when it comes to a Guinness - next it'll be a pint of cream people will be after. Something in the middle will do surely.

    €3.90?

    45c less than the crap I drink in my local.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭Flincher


    My best 3 would probably be
    1. Mulligans in Dublin
    2. A tiny pub across the road from the side of Talbot Hotel in Wexford Town. No idea of the name of it, but there was a session on some Thursday night a couple of summers ago.
    3. Jim of the Mill's


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 281 ✭✭Maglight


    What's the name of the old bar across the road from the Dice Bar off the quays in Dublin. They have lots of dusty bric a brac hanging from the ceiling.

    The pints are nectar

    one of the many reason's i dont go near dublin if i can help it. I'm not sure if alot of people in dublin are aware but there is such a thing called the "normal price" and the "dublin price", your bank balance shows the difference. Unless i really wanted a pint of guinness i usually would'nt pay more than 3.50 for it. It only cost pub owners 1.80 to serve a pint of guinness,so these high prices are just plain robbery

    yeah but the problem with the dragon is if you haven't drank there for the last 500 years then you're not welcome.

    The Wagon Wheel in Ballynacargy (just outside Mullingar) has the best pint of Guinness you will ever taste. At €3.80 a pint its not too bad on the pocket either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Hurts to say this but the best pint I had was in 'The Big Tree' in Dublin.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭myflipflops

    3 of my personal favorites:

    O'Dwyers pub in Waterville, Kerry
    Toners on Baggott St in Dublin
    McGloins in Kinlough, Leitrim

    Oooooooooh controversial.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 319 ✭✭netnerd

    Ryans of Queen street. I love that spot, I think its the chilled pint glasses they use.
    Personally I think Mulligans is over rated, Chaplins around the corner does a better pint.
    Great pints in Dublin, Lower Deck, O'Connells, Devits, Ryans Camden st, Fallons and Brogans.
