Best traditional pub with great guinness Dublin

A good pint in Mulligans but its not the outstanding pint many make it out to be.Slatterys,OConnells and Cassidys all have good guinness and are near the area OP lives.

I think Diageo ensures that their product is the best no matter where it is served up. They have quality control everywhere now. Price might be different here and there but not quality.

Taste varies from pub to pub imo.

Maybe it's the ambience you are feeling or not...Never get a bad pint now. Did in the past and you'd be told to put blackurrant into it. Those were the dog days for sure!

Not anymore though.

The best pints in Dublin at the moment.

Imagine thinking Guinness tastes the same everywhere. Lolz

All crackin, atmospheric pubs you've picked there. I'd say the packet of crisps even taste better. Must be the way the barman puts them on your table.

I used to find that busy bars that didn't have to rely on regular customers had complete and utter swill for beer. Maybe they didn't clean their liens as much as places that didn't have as good of a reputation.

Try drinking any of Diageo's lagers anywhere that has lax hygiene standards and/or keeps lines that aren't moving (presumably to keep a salesman off their back). Undrinkable. To an extent I've not quite noticed with other breweries, somehow.

However, in the vast majority of pubs it is going to be down to atmosphere and company - the fact that pretty much every pub listed as 'the best' here is a Victorian-era bar without blasting music or sports commentary or a tacky carvery and annoying wait staff is telling.

I went to the Lower Deck, on the recommendation of a friend on saturday,
great pub, amazing Guinness and great banter with the locals,
it's funny, in the portobello right beside it the guinness is 4 euro but it's muck, here it was 4.70 but like cream,
Great pub

If you want low key, no nonsense; just a good pint of Guinness, low key non-intrusive crowd, minimal fuss and chat from barman if not wanted then Hartigans on Leeson Street.

Hartigans is class. Old Ma Mulligan is a Dublin institution at this stage.

Excuse my ignorance on this, iv never worked in a bar.

My question is can the individual pubs change the temperature that a guinness is served at or is it someway controlled when the guinness tap is installed??

I mean can peoples preference for the pint in pub x be just because they prefer a cooler pint and that pub decides to sell guinness a little bit colder?

They can change the temp on the chiller but Diageo check the beer serving temp and will tell you off if its not cold enough.
