Not true.

You mightn't like their stouts, but they have some good ones. My personal faves would be Oyster Stout and Wrasslers.

Much stronger flavour (and abv) to Guinness, but it depends what you're into.

Best pint of Guinness is when it's in a Murphy's glass...

Is that because there's no chance of anyone else stealing it on you?

Oooooooooh controversial.

Anyway, the Cobblestone in Smithfield do a delicious Guinness.

Hmmm, I lived right behind the cobblestone for a year and have sank a few pints in there. I always found the guinness to be ok but nothing spectacular.

The best pint I have had was in the templebar a few years back. Never had one in there again as it was over €6.00 but it was delicious.

The worst pint was in the gravity bar.

In response to your question about the best pint of Guinness I would like to reply with:

Callanans pub in Cork city sells Beamish for €2.90 a pint and it's the best pint of stout I've ever seen/tasted.

So f*ck Guinness.

Taaffes, Shop St

^^ Taaffes does a serious pint of guinness, also,

Flanagans in Newbridge, and Mahons in Kildare town are dispensers of excellent pints of stout.

Never had a good pint in there, stout or otherwise.

Their "good pints" are a myth as far as I'm concerned.

Aye, it's a "lolrandomwacky student" pub. People go there because they've heard weirdos go there and that the owner is going to yell at someone because they ordered the wrong thing. It's a sideshow. The locals in there are happy to live up to the image and spout a load of bollocks at anyone who walks in there. Just like looking at bearded women, it's all very sad.

I love Beamish, and that's a great price for it.

Wrong thread though chief, this isn't like Blur vs Oasis.

Mac's bar bunratty folk park, best pint of Guinness iv'e ever had the pleasure of drinking.

Macs has been closed for over a year.
They say Guinness is an acquired taste, when I started my drinking career I was dabbling in the odd pint here and there and Macs was the first pint of Guinness that made stand up say "now I get it".
Mother's Milk.

The best Guinness I think I've ever had was probably Shoot the Crows in Sligo. A bit of hipster pub but by God do they pour a quality pint.

Up until recently i was of the opinion that Matt Molloys in Wesport was the best

pint i ever had. That was until i came across the Beaufort Bar just outside Killarney.

Pure cream!!!!

I completely agree. The sloppiest pint of stout I ever had, vastly overrated pub.

There is NO beer in Ireland only products with very heavy marketing.

A short draw from the keg to tap seems to be one of the most important factors for a good pint of stout.

Barrt2 · 26-08-2011 08:25PM

any pint i can pour myself served from a cold keg in a cold glass

Possibly the best pint in the country. Definitely the best pub. Found myself having a pint beside a certain Michael Jagger one evening. Great place

Best pint of Guinness
