You boys over in Ireland have it so good! Guinness as they say does not travel, here in Scotland I've never had a pint of Guinness that was as good as I had in Ireland. I couldn't believe how good the pints were in Ireland it was absolutely unbelievable. I can't drink it over here anymore.. Im gonna re-trace your steps of the best pints on this channel. You should create a pub crawl map
Well I appreciate this is the wrong end of the island for you but it can travel and London has some great Guinness. The now world famous Devonshire being a shining beacon. There’s also the Toucan off Soho square and little known The Ship off the beaten track by Fenchurch Street to name three. I really think a lot of it is down to a) the pub treating / storing the beer correctly and the lines well maintained and b) how much Guinness the establishment actually sells.
I'll be honest, in addition to the brilliant reviews that make me salivate for a good pint of Guinness, I partly watch these videos also for the manscaped ads as they're absolutely hilarious.
Had the pleasure of sippin' a pint at Gravedigger's a couple years ago. Counting down the days to when I can make it back to Ireland and have another go! ☘️
I live on the Isle of Man so close to Ireland ….I love my Guinness but want to pop over the Irish Sea to Dublin next year and do a tour when all is back to some kind of normality ❤️
10 year vet of hospo. what makes a good pint of the black stuff depends on a number of things. as said in the vid yes the draw length can be important and the cleanliness of the line also sitting to long out side the keg and outside the insulation of the 'python' - [large black insulation cover for the individual lines from the keg room] can mess with the texture. the other factors 'the stick' as he calls it comes from how well the glass has been cleaned. creamy head just comes from keeping the pourer at the tap regularly cleaned. Probably the most important thing is that your kegs are given time to cool in the keg room before tapping up to the line, we call it rotating your kegs. bubbles on top can happen on a busy knight, shouldn't be taken as a bad pint of the stuff, just not as astatically appealing
Don't forget a proper air mixture nitrogen 75% CO2 25%. Yes, proper temperature, 39 degrees, and clean lines. Making sure no leaks in lines. Letting keg settle for 72 hours before setting up. 😊❤
Just been to Dublin today, last time I came was about 4 years ago and I didn’t like Guinness back then. My taste buds have now changed over the years and I love it. So I came for the day today from Sheffield and went to a few of the high recommended pubs and also some not on on here and some unbelievable pints. The best I’ve had! Surprisingly Temple Bar was the worst even though it’s the most. Keep the videos coming 🤙🏻
the walsh's pint certainly looked the business - best vs the other three, at a guess. seemed to taste pretty good too judging by the reaction. 8.8 v the gravediggers. very strict ( shtrict ?) scoring Guru. keep up the good work, a nation awaits Part 3.
I've been to the gravediggers twice first time sept 21 second time on Monday 7th February 22.The quality of the pint is second to none and if scoring it I'd give it a 9.5 its really that good. On the second visit I had four pints all were of top quality and had very good shtick or lacing as I prefer to call it. Tried to visit walshs and bowes both closed so couldn't compare but will do next time I'm in Dublin.
Might be the lighting but it really looks as though you didn't let that pint in Tom Kennedy's fully settle. Be curious to see you reverse the order next time as you were being very nice to Gravediggers after 4 pints ;) Enjoying the videos!
Is the gravediggers 9.3 based on the pub and/or the pint exclusively? Willing to make the trip but Bowe's is first on my list⚫⚪loving the videos Guru keep them coming 👍🏼
In my opinion his scoring system is just a *fraction* harsh. His 9.2 at the end of part 1 ought to have been a 9.4 or 9.6 if it's faultless. Obviously can't give a '10' as he doesn't know if there's better anywhere in the world! Just think he could go 0.2 or 0.3 higher with scores... 🙂
The last review at Gravediggers confused me. Is the rating based on the contents of the glass or the whole package? He seemed to be influenced by the snug, the setting, the reputation of the place, etc. It visibly had no "shtick" like other pints that have gotten low scores.
Funny how shtick never seems to be surefire, I thought the same about the pint I had at The Faltering Fullback at the weekend. It was still class, and is still one of the best in London, but didn't have anywhere near as much shtick as I thought it would.
Hi Guru just wondering have you ever been to Killrush Co Clare . Worth a visit. Thanks,I'm in Dorrigo, NSW Australia. Dublin born and breed. A good pint in Dorrigo RSL depending on who is pouring. Safe travels.
I've been enjoying these videos lately, and after hearing him refer to Gravediggers a couple of times, I set out to find the review of it to see what all the craic was about. Weirdly enough though, it seems like he's scoring the pint based on the location and the history of the pub as opposed to the quality of the pint. Shtick on it looked well below average (something that he's marked a LOT of pints down for in the past), and he didn't talk about the pint here whatsoever. It didn't look like much on camera, and I don't understand how it's his highest score when the shtick was so poor. Plenty of pubs in Ireland that he's visited have an INCREDIBLE and longstanding history behind them, but this seems to be the only one afforded major "bonus points" simply for the location. That pint in the video (based on his own tough scoring system that he's demonstrated time and time again), was absolutely NOT a 9.3.
@Fagoooooo Ah I'm not saying that the history of the pub doesn't add to the pint. It undoubtedly does. I was just pointing out that in his other videos, he makes a case of pointing out that he's ONLY rating the pint, not the pub - whereas here, he seemed to blur the lines a bit 😅 But glad to hear that the pint itself is up to scratch! 🤙
Try downeys on the ballyfermot Road and the mullingar House in chapelizard both 9 out of 10 have to agree walshes in stoney batter is excellent and outside dublin the hatch in ballaigh and the tank both in co cavan
I love how Cobblestones has no Television and only live bands! I always deduct a point or two from a pub whenever I see a Television. Unless it’s a sports bar etc obviously!
Top drawer stuff again! Keep it up 💪👍🏻Watching here on a beach in Croatia, can't wait to get home for some cream. Seen a pint of Guinness last night, you wouldn't have given it to your worse enemy, the dirt of it, 10 times worse than a can it looked. And it was an Irish lad drinking it, sick man!
Found myself in the Gravediggers after an internment in Glasnevin and I was blown away by the authenticity of the place. Incredible pint of Guinness too, I could have happily spent the next few hours in there!
Ill agree with o sheas i had my first ever pint of guinness there and it was magic. I thought guinness tasted like that everywhere and have been dissapointed since. pure magic
@@monkeyx17 Yep unbelievable pints. Been back twice since. I live in Dublin and took a trip back down in July. Unbelievable pints. He needs to do Kerry that's for sure 👍
Very biased towards gravediggers there to say the least, was not a great pint at all, if your going to revist and rate the quality of stout that your given on that day then the score can change, just because you got a good pint previously doesn't mean it's going to be the same. Personally for me gravedigger's is quite average.
You can get a great pint one night and the next not so much. It's not the fault of the barmen, there's a number of factors from the pipes being cleaned or a different keg. Even the light in the bar can have an effect on how your taste works, scientifically proven.
Ya was going to say the same . thought sthick on it last time was better..but a guy in the know told me once that why sthick can be on some pints and not others is the chemical residue left on glass After washing..it tends to hold the sthick.

I’ve had some decent pints in Edinburgh though, captains bar and the Royal Oak x

09:35am and I already wanna Guinness after this
09:53am and I'm right there with you pal

Shoutout to the camerawork and editing, class!
Had the pleasure of sippin' a pint at Gravedigger's a couple years ago. Counting down the days to when I can make it back to Ireland and have another go! ☘️
Visited Dublin in August, the best pint I had was at the Harkin's bar. It's a pity we only stayed for 2 nights. Amazing city, amazing people!
Enjoyed the interview, be good to see more of them from pub owners
I live on the Isle of Man so close to Ireland ….I love my Guinness but want to pop over the Irish Sea to Dublin next year and do a tour when all is back to some kind of normality ❤️
You should
I have never had a guinness but this guy is their best sales person ever

So with all these things considered where are your favourite pints?
Best pint I've had in my life was in Cobblestone. Glad to see they are still good. Haven't had an 8 in over a year! Cobblestone is getting hit next 👍
Compare the pint with the toilets in the establishment, esp the cobblestone!!
‘Good fookin gear’ .. another T shirt. Just found these videos a couple months ago preppin for my 1st trip to Ireland for a 10 day pub crawl. Awesome.
Only recently starting drinking Guinness so I'm loving the videos. Shoutout to Cronin's Sheebeen in Westport - cracking pint.

Keep the videos coming 🤙🏻
Surely there should be a bigger difference between a disappointing pint at 8.4 and a "cracking" pint at 8.5.
He never gives a pint a bad score even if it’s shite, too much bad publicity
It’s the small details 😂😂😂
If you were expecting a 9, 8.4 would be disappointing.
@@MindToPage pretty sure he gave Diceys a 2/10
he explained the difference
The production of your videos is very impressive now. They have progressed alot!!!
6:43 “that is good f***ing gear” I hope he’s talking about the Guinness 😂😂
Still no Hut in Phibsboro. I’m shaking my head cause you’re missing out.
Monster pint in Walsh’s, nothing but compliments and then 8.8. Surely a 9!
the walsh's pint certainly looked the business - best vs the other three, at a guess. seemed to taste pretty good too judging by the reaction. 8.8 v the gravediggers. very strict ( shtrict ?) scoring Guru. keep up the good work, a nation awaits Part 3.
Walsh's pint best of the lot
The Guinness in Walshs is tremendous but nowhere but nowhere can touch the Gravediggers. Their Guinness is unrivaled.
@@Frorackous Grogans would give it a run
If The Gravediggers is the benchmark and it sets the standard.. It's a 10
You barely spoke of the pint in the grave diggers, did it get scored on reputation or ambiance?
Reputation. Zero schtick which marks a lot of pints down.
I think he was distracted by possibly the owner sitting close to him
That’s me in the back in Walshs taking shite with my mate.
A true Guinness, only for the soundest around.
I've just subscribed to your channel, for many a great reason! God bless you on this journey...
6:42 me in Colombia 😂
Mulligan has it right. A pub without trad is frankly depressing.
Subtitles on this video is great, it doesn't have a clue. Great vid 👌

The glenmalore Lodge in Wickow does an outstanding pint 👌beautiful location too!
Couldn't agree more
Gravediggers pint had almost zero schtick but it gets a 9.3? Come onnnn...
Not sure if you're into the Beamish Darragh but Tom Kennedys have the definite best pint of Beamish in Dublin without a doubt
Skitter with a head
Lads hit The Hut in Phibsboro, unbelievable pint
Might be the lighting but it really looks as though you didn't let that pint in Tom Kennedy's fully settle. Be curious to see you reverse the order next time as you were being very nice to Gravediggers after 4 pints ;) Enjoying the videos!
Was in bowes last weekend for the first, great pints also a great whiskey bar
Were you
Last review for gravediggers seemed odd to be fair, no real chat about the pint, definitely didn’t look like over a 9
I noticed that. And what about "I can only judge the pint in front of me"
Pint looked average with zero shtick. Something definitly off!
Have you guys had a pint in the Gravediggers before? If not get on it.
@@Frorackous not yet but definitely will this weekend all being well
@@Gtweet85 diggers best pint in Dublin. simple as that. great atmosphere also
No words needed for a Gravediggers pint… It’s between them and The Long Hall for best in country in my books
Is the gravediggers 9.3 based on the pub and/or the pint exclusively? Willing to make the trip but Bowe's is first on my list⚫⚪loving the videos Guru keep them coming 👍🏼
Mate, I've had both. Bowes only last week. Really puts it up to the gravediggers
Haven't done Bowes yet, hitting there the end of the month. Diggers is my local so looking forward to see if it's up there
These videos making me foam at the mouth for a pint this Friday. Very much looking forward to Bowe's Conor thanks for that
Gwan the Diggers!
The stature of the Gravediggers probably does help the score I can’t lie. But anyone will tell you the Guinness there is top class
Monday morning 10am Gunness guru time!
You had O'Donoghues in the graphics at the beginning of Part 1, but never covered it in Part 2?
I noticed that. Would that be the one close to St Stephen’s Green?
@@Tomfromlondon yup! Merrion Row
Any advice for best guinness in killiney? or places to drink/eat? Heading there for couple days next week?
In my opinion his scoring system is just a *fraction* harsh. His 9.2 at the end of part 1 ought to have been a 9.4 or 9.6 if it's faultless. Obviously can't give a '10' as he doesn't know if there's better anywhere in the world! Just think he could go 0.2 or 0.3 higher with scores... 🙂
Dublin in march next year-week after paddys day,cant wait - gonna drink all the guiness is the city 🤣🤣
Not great stick on the grave diggers pint .

Any links on how we can purchase the schtick shirts here in the states?
fear maith, love the content, keep up the good work
Keeleys on the old airport road has an amazing pint.
Have you tried the boot inn out by the airport
Shame about the shtick in Tom Kennedy’s, but as you can see, minimal stick in gravediggers also. Still two of the top dogs of the Guinness game.
Funny how shtick never seems to be surefire, I thought the same about the pint I had at The Faltering Fullback at the weekend. It was still class, and is still one of the best in London, but didn't have anywhere near as much shtick as I thought it would.
Shtick does not a good pint make. It's just one small aspect. The Guinness in the Gravediggers tastes like it's out of this world, I can't explain it.
How glasses are washed will effect the stick... Especially the detergent used
Would love a video of the Best Pint of Guinness with a view of the Liffey. Love having my pint with a side of the Liffey me.
Hi Guru just wondering have you ever been to Killrush Co Clare . Worth a visit. Thanks,I'm in Dorrigo, NSW Australia. Dublin born and breed. A good pint in Dorrigo RSL depending on who is pouring. Safe travels.

Molloy's on Tablot Street has never let me down.

Feel like the lad was being watched / under pressure
Was wondering why the 'shtick' was important as part of a good Guinness? Haven't heard that term before. Thanks.
My question is...how or what does a pub do to make the pint different. Same guinness coming from the same factory right??
Rody Bolands Rathmines. Weirdly never seems to get a mention with the Guinness raters. Definitely a chance of making the 8 club.
Great spot
Try downeys on the ballyfermot Road and the mullingar House in chapelizard both 9 out of 10 have to agree walshes in stoney batter is excellent and outside dublin the hatch in ballaigh and the tank both in co cavan
This is not easy to watch at 10am

Best pint of Guinness I've ever had was in the bleeding horse in Camden Street...... absolutely insane would 100% recommend giving it a go
Found myself in the Gravediggers after an internment in Glasnevin and I was blown away by the authenticity of the place. Incredible pint of Guinness too, I could have happily spent the next few hours in there!
I want to try Walsh’s and Gravediggers.
Went to bittles bar Belfast at weekend on ur recommendation. Was not disappointed
Had me shtick t shirt through today . Gwan the boy!
Dunphys in Dun Laoghaire has s great pint of Guinnes!
21:07 welcome to Glasnevin pal.....someone whipped your phone out of your handbag ya big ponce ya.
Downeys cabra, cracking pint of Guinness 👌
The Digger's will be hard to beat. However I found another 9.3 if not more at O'Shea's Bar & Beer Garden in Killorglin in Kerry 👍

Less than 5 days til I’m in Dublin bollock deep in some absolute creamers and not the kind you find in soho 🤣
I love Guinness in Melbourne can't wait to go to Ireland can't wait to go
Fishermans bar, portmagee, co kerry , the best Guinness I ever had and washed down with the best freshest seafood.
Pfft. To hell or to Connaught.
Fisherman’s is a top place for me too. Had an incredible pint there after hiking Skellig.
Quality watch 🙌🏾
If you expect something and it doesn't quite it hit that note,you'd be disappointed.Doesn't mean it it was bad,just not what you were hoping
You need to go Downey's in CABRA

Try Slatts in Inchicore....10/10
u should try buglers pub for pint of Guinness ,
The Boot Inn is the best pint Ive had but then again haven’t been in Bowes or The Gravediggers
Oh my goodness! I am jonesing for a Guinness!!
love your videos Mo chara
Try the druids chair in killiney one of the best ive ever had
If you want a real Irish pint of Guinness, put a dollop of sour cream on the dome
legend bro from canada
'disappointing' 8.4 and then a 'monster' 8.8 and a 'cracking' 8.5..... Like what's that about
Not great shtick on the grave diggers pint
Ya was going to say the same . thought sthick on it last time was better..but a guy in the know told me once that why sthick can be on some pints and not others is the chemical residue left on glass After washing..it tends to hold the sthick.
we live to see that slight chance of a 10 someday 🤩🤩
Some wonderful pints. What a life
I like the interviews
The glasswasher has alot to do with shtick
Cheers Feela My Mother Is Mayo Lass Me Da A Donegal Man And Me A Half Baked Paddy 🇮🇪💚
Nicest pint of Guinness on the planet by a country mile …Nothing… I mean Nothing comes remotely close
GRAVEDIGGERS ❤️
J. J Bowes in limerick is top class
The best pint of Guinness is in Maudie's in Rathgormack
Was the gravediggers pint rating predetermined because that got the worst review of the lot with a pint that look like water.
Help a Canadian. Why does it vary in taste? Guinness should want a standard product across the board. Yes?
