Where is the Best Pint of Guinness?

When Pighead was in college, Taaffes(Shop St, I think) poured a cracking pint of Guinness. Although in fairness its a long time since I was a college boy.

Murphy's on Shop Street has a good pint

Great question,

Im a guinness drinker and i've tried the guinness in most pubs, i'll give a quick rating in my opinion for each bar and their guinness.

The roisin Dubh 6/10,
Massimo's 6/10,
Blue note 9/10,
The crane bar 8/10,
The front door7/10,
Bazaar 4/10,
Neachtans 8/10,
Garvan's 7/10,
Bunch of Grapes 9/10,
The cellar bar 4/10,
The living room 3/10,
O'connor's (which is now closed) 9/10,
Fox's 2/10,
The Skeff 3/10,
The hole in the wall 3/10,
Bar903 7/10,
Cant remember them all

I wouldnt even touch a pint in a night club because tbh you'd nearly need the staff to give you a knife and fork to eat/drink it lol

Donnellys Restaurent and Bar if you're out in Barna!

Savage Guinness or so I'm told

salthill has the best pints - the office, killorans, jamesons, o'connors

blasphemy

I can't believe the Dew Drop Inn and Freeneys havn't been mentioned yet, my top tips for the black stuff in galway

I always assumed when someone was talking about a good Guinness they'ed use the expression "good eatin and drinkin" or "soup" as in creamy head smooth body.I always found a ****y Guinness to be watery,strong tasting with a head that goes quickly.Anyway i dont touch Guinness in a busy bar either for the same reason as a nightclub, too rushed.

Thats not entirely true, if the guinness has been sittin in the tap or the lines for a while it tends to be rotten. What i meant by the knife and fork thing goes for all pints in night clubs.

Waaaaay to high for both of these Hole in the Wall doesn't deserve a rating when it come to Guinness. Garvan's I heard good things about but wasn't impressed but not a place iI frequent

Who said that?

Anyway, i had a few nice pints in the cellar last Wednesday night. They were ok, nothin special.

1. Kelehans Pub Bushypark
2. Freeneys
3. Dew Drop

The Rowing Club in Woodquay as a great pint IMO
