Best pint of Guinness

couldntthink · 27-08-2011 09:13AM

Lynch's pub, Clonbur, Co. Galway.

Barman is from the Phillipines but by god he has picked up the skills of pulling pints since he started. In that pub you'd better learn quick!

Also there is a pub not far from the Wicklow border in Wexford. Can't remember the name but it's absolutely tiny and the toilets are outside. But Fukc me do they have some good Guinness. Think there's a church down the road, can't remember the name of the pub or the village. For some reason I remember a tiny vodafone shop stuck to the pub too.

I went to the Gravediggers today for the first time and am disgustingly disappointed with my pint. Too cold, too thin, and no wonderful complex coffee/cocoa kind of flavours.

Best pint in Ireland is still Guerin's Pub, Castleconnell - served three ways, cold, room temp or half and half. Don't know how they do it but it just tastes different.

In Dublin:

The Oval, Middle Abbey Street.
Seán O'Casey, I think Malborough Street.
Nearys, Chatham Row.
The Hill 16, Gardiner St. .

Proper mens pubs, none of your fashionable Mulligans nonsense

cornerhouse/maisie kellys in arklow is a pint of cream

more dublin:

halfway house, walkinstown
pier house, howth
harold house, harolds cross
ramble inn, donnycarney
bachelor inn, town

The Bachelor used to be great, until it was sold. They took out the ultra comfy horseshoe seats and replaced the aul lads behind the bar with youngfellas wearing dickie bows, the horror. They even made the jacks smell ok.

It was shocking I tell you, I drank there for years and they tore the soul out of the place.

There are products sold in Pubs but not beer in the remotest meaning of the word.

Reilly's, Main St., Ardmore, Co. Waterford.

Guinness is over priced. IMO.

Beamish more consistant and 50 cents cheaper.

Mikel91 · 04-01-2012 03:22AM

Not from there but the best Pint of Guinness I've had was in Longford in some pub called the Valentine I think.

The worst was at an Irish Fair we came across while in Munich...There were 6 Irish people,Four of us,The guy at the set up bar stall and the dude on stage...We watched as the Germans clapped in sync to the Irish dancing...It was both magnificent and eery.

You must have had more than one.
Maybe on the 14th of Feb.

SomeFool · 04-01-2012 04:03AM

The Castle Inn or the Sextant in Cork usually do a good pint.

GY A1 · 04-01-2012 04:05AM

woodside monivea galway :P

Seaneh · 04-01-2012 07:28AM

O'Connell's in Brideswell Co. Roscommon.

The Guinness there is the best I've ever had.

That said, Guinness is a fairly average beer.

Give me a pint of O'Hara's any day.

Paparazzo · 04-01-2012 10:52AM

The shítter/older/dirtier the pub, the better the guinness

anto2 · 04-01-2012 11:29AM

In Dublin ,The Red Windmill and Doyle s both in Phibsborough .Where i am now in Chiang Mai ,the Red Lion near the night market .

PS,I like the Porter house stouts also .They have a bar in Phibsborough by cross guns bridge .

+ Mulligans in Poolbeg street have always been famous for their Guinness and it is better there than average .Also its nice to have a pint at the Guinness brewery in the glass bar up on the roof .Great views on a good day all over the City and to the Dublin mountains .

Lombardo86 · 04-01-2012 11:32AM

I'll have to give a +1 to Grogans

The pint is best when served with one of their toasties. Amazing.

Living in phibsboro all my life and you have picked the 2 worst pubs for beer full stop never mind guinness..
The red windmill is now closed down and Doyles should be.
Have had really bad pints in both years ago and never went back, both have really bad reputation for their beer.

In Phibsboro you have around 3 or 4 choices.

The hut- Great little pub, great pint of guinness, yummy toasted sandwiches and bowls of stew.

The bohemian- absolute kip, patrons are mad but the guinness is delish and one of the cheapest around, grand place if you mind your own business.

The Phibsboro House- Bit of a clicky pub, if they don't know you they will give you the look, guinness is great though.

The best pint of guinness I have had in Dublin was in the Strawberry Hall out by the strawberry beds, absolutely amazing guinness and very consistent from first pint to last.
