Ever since I could see over the bar I have been in Bowles’s shlugging the black stuff. An 8.8 doesn’t reflect the work being put in to create that masterpiece. This is by far the best pint I have ever had in my life, every single day it tastes better and I can only see it getting better day in day out. I hope to have many more years in me to spend down at this lovely spot. I’m delighted for my Da.
My wife and I road tripped all of Ireland for a month...(we eloped as well there) drank Guinness for a solid 4 weeks. Came back home to Canada and ordered a pint and it was like I was drinking a beer with a bunch of pennies, very metallic tasting. If you come to US/Canada area, I'll be very curious as to what you think. I actually don't think you'll enjoy it.
I'm in NS and we have the Old Triangle or Celtic Corner to get a pint. It's better than the cans but watching these videos I can only dream how much better the Guinness tastes in Ireland. Someday...
Pity you couldn't do country pubs.. Hard to get 5 different pubs in 1 night.. Great channel..and great to see you put limerick in a good light.. Great city to go out in
I think I've figured out your scoring system. Your standard, proper, good pint gets an 8. Anything above that is "Whoa! This is really nice!" Anything 7-8 is "Step up yer game there lads!" Below 7 is "Fuck me! That is wrong on so many levels!' From 8.5 to 9.3 is as close to perfect as humanly possible. From 9.4 to 9.9 is "God poured me a Guinness." To get a 10, God would have to become a pint & invite you to partake! Close?
Been in three of those pubs on my many trips from England to Limerick and can only agree, it’s Guinness from the heavens! Great vid, fab memories until I go again real soon 💚
Good on you Guru...only came across your channel a few weeks ago.....Im not in the Instagram generation which I know you use mostly, but i hope you keep up the UA-cam videos. There great. We have even started to use your phrases in my local here in Limerick....Shtick :) ...keep it up lad, great personality you have......Guinness pints need a moderator ....
Well Jon, I am half Irish and am exactly the same except I tried it a few days ago and can honestly say I have never wrapped my lips around something so foul in my whole life (maybe sprouts) Using the word cream to describe Guinness should be illegal but still here I am watching away haha
acquired taste for most, used to never like it but now im practically a connoisseur. most bars here in the US that have it on tap actually don't know how to pour so it comes out very bitter or somehow flat. its also not as good out of the can imo.
@EnderVelo that describes exactly how mine came out of the can, flat, very bitter and almost had a liquorice taste to it. Will try one from the local and see if its an improvement.
I’m a Belfast man but live in London now and am constantly on the lookout for great London Guinness pints. Do a London video if you’re able to man. Cheers
I used to live in Limerick years ago. The best pints I had were from the 'extra cold' tap in Jerry O'Dea's front bar. The first few gulps were so cold they'd hurt your throat. Nectar of the Gods.
I just started drinking an odd pint of guinness just because of you channel and really enjoying it, my grandfather drank it by the gallon he was from longford, keep up the good work love from Scotland 🤝
Nice vid. Great to see pubs where there's healthy chat going on without ear busting music. Don't get me wrong I like music, but some pubs you can't chat because the music is so loud. All the best to you
All these pints look amazing and look tasty in Ireland, should come over to England and try some of our pints where I'm from some of the guniness is terrible, I was in a pub ordered a guniness and the bar lady poured it straight to the top no resting time and it had no shtick tasted like water and metal, not all pubs just my local area but so disappointing after watching these videos
@@RobD2788 I'm from Kent it's actually a irish pub but to be the fair all the beers in there are quite bad must be something to do with the lines and gas, our weatherspoons does quite a decent pint though
Jeez I would never drink Guinness in a Weatherspoons did once and was rotten.I’m originally from Manchester and there’s a good few pubs that doo a daycent pint👍Living in Castlebar in County Mayo since October 21 savage Guinness 😋😋
@@jayd1974 must just be luck of the draw, I'm in a pub now called the goose and the guniness is just weird, tasting like metal, I'm starting to prefer guniness out of a draught can
Should have called to Charlie St George's pub around the corner from Myles Breen. It's my favourite pub in Limerick City for a pint of the black stuff. It was also a a haunt of Richard Harris in his younger days!
Love your videos! BTW am a big fan of Dave Portnoy’s “one bite everyone knows the rules” ! Am from the US! Can’t wait to see you visiting NYC and to let us know where to grab a great pint of Guinness! Keep up the good work mate! Cheers!!!
Stumbled across your channel m8 I’m a Guinness drinker and a buckfast drinker from Scotland have you mixed Guinness with buckfast if not would you consider trying it :)
JJ's is a min 9, having drank there Bowes and gravediggers i think its on a par with both so that it was Sub 9 seems way off. Otherwise dead on about limerick, great city with a load of quality pubs
Think your could have done Limerick more favours with the drone footage.. the river, the castle, the Georgian sector.... But thanks for shining a light on our great city.. the noise in the background is distinctively Limerick. Not sure I noticed that in any other of your videos.
I was thinking JJ Bowes might have even reached a 9, but 8.8 is fair and very good. Have you got a league table going somewhere? Just fun to keep tabs on scores and what cities are best 👍🏼
Gravediggers in Glasnevin is #1 (and likely will always stay #1) and then Bowes is #2. Only 1 other pub has ever gotten into the 9’s but I can’t remember it off the top of my head
@@boland73 Cheers Michael 👍🏼 I remember the Gravediggers and Bowes reviews…top stuff. But, like you, could recall many other 9s. A trip to Gravediggers is a must, me thinks! 👍🏼🎄🍻
Should make a video where you go to gravediggers and see if you can make the pint bad, pour it with a single pour, put it in a plastic cup, a new guinness glass, does the taste change? Also go grave diggers directly after guinnesses clean the pipes and then directly before they clean the pipes, does that change the taste?

This channel is personally responsible for me now only drinking Guiness when I go out. Such good content!

Couldn’t of said it better myself
fact about it pal
9.5
Yeah he's almost pigeonholed himself with the gravediggers 9.3 at this stage.
Lads he said limerick was great I'm proud of that love limerick pubs never being in jj s but I will be
Fair play for shticking up for Limerick! Great city with savage pubs. Agree on JJ's being the best, could have possibly been a 9!

As a Guinness lover in the United States, I envy yall in Ireland. You get the best of the best. Slainte!
Lovin the content from Ontario Canada, I miss the Guinness in Ireland (2001) gotta get back! Thanks Guru! ☮️
Went to JJ's yesterday, a day after the video was posted. Never knew the place existed, savage pint.

I work in JJ's part time. Definitely the best pint in the city. A 9 for me.
Debatable
Great pubs in limerick, and the locals are always very friendly
Isn't Limerick famous for its musicians? Enjoyed the pub craic all the best lads! And yes, Inhalation IS a word!
Great music scene in Limerick. A great mix of scenes too
Never drank Guinness, father in law does, and wifeys family are all irish. How can I love watching videos on a product I’ve never had😂

Me too! I’ve never gotten into the Guinness myself but I love the videos
@@bombaclot genuine question: how can you a connoisseur if you live in the US?
One of the best so far - definitely must be hard to rate with an audience
I’m a Belfast man but live in London now and am constantly on the lookout for great London Guinness pints. Do a London video if you’re able to man. Cheers
The Harp in Covent Garden used to do a decent pint of plain
Sure ya won’t find to many good pints of Guinness around London
O briens West Ealing. Best I've had in London
Frosty's Bar, Kenton Rd, Harrow HA3 9DW is reputed to have good guinness.
birmingham next for another international best guinness? i hope so, loving the vids mate. top class!
Just joined your channel from Australia bro. Love your content, & most of all your honesty. Keep doing what you do 🍻

Paul Flannerys on Shannon Street is the best pint in Limerick, unreal 👌
Can't argue with JJ Bowles fantastic pint . Tom Collins for us a close 2nd too
Head for the ferry bridge in Clarina. About 6 miles from the city.
I love how this video progresses I go from being able to keep up with the slang to no idea what the fuck is being said! Love it.

You should do the best pint on the Aran Islands, try all 3 islands

Great video and pints👍Those 2 bellends we’re a bit too close for comfort 😬🙄
The best spot for pints 🍻 great video.
Up the munster guinness. 👏👏
Limerick here. All of these pubs are good choices but the the best Guinness in Limerick is Mother Mac's no question.
Jj Bowles. The best pub my dad introduced me to and our favourite place to have a Guiness in ❤️
I did abit of testing about the shtick and I've found out you get more shtick when the glass is dry.
Love the vids keep it up. ❤
Obviously 😂😭😂
Is this a joke?
Guinness owes you a fat check.
Can’t beat a pint in limerick lad 💪
Hi Guru,
When are leaving the Big smoke and dropping up to Drogheda visiting Gleeson's Clarkes and Scarsfeilds. Great start 22
Last time I came this early my girlfriend left me slainte
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another great video 👍. Happy New Year to all 🥳🍻🎉
Whatever happened to the video about how to cut your own hair? That was the funniest video i have seen and always made me laugh
Happy new year , hope you have a good one 🍾🙏
JJ Bowles is the best pint of Guinness I've ever had anywhere
Hurlers, Castletroy
Please do celbridge in kildare all the pubs there do cracking pints of guinness
Stumbled across your channel m8 I’m a Guinness drinker and a buckfast drinker from Scotland have you mixed Guinness with buckfast if not would you consider trying it :)
Why do you prefer the old style glass over the new?

Hey Guru,
When will more merch be available?
Haha that spillage 🤣🤣 gas man!
Best one Yet . Up the Treaty
My top 5.
5: Paul Flannerys
4: Charlie Malones
3: Tom Collins
2: Patsy Flannerys
1: Mother Macs
Patsy was hard done by, I thought. A sensational pint, far superior to Myles' and Jerry's, who scored the same and barely below.
Yo Guru, I'm curious to know how the shtick from the bottle pour differs from the Guiness poured from the keg. Viewing from Puerto Rico
I don't even drink Guinness. I hate dark beer. These videos are bloody class
It's stout not beer
anytime your up round the north west franks in Limavady do a mean guninness really small old style pub 2
Your drinking them a lot faster these days 😀
pubs in dingle also serve good guinness
Manchester, UK next please ? 🤞🙌
About to start getting into guineas because of this guy, just don’t really know what Im trying to taste for
Happy new year lads.
The 2 lads getting the photo..show yourselves 😂
Charlie malones hands down best pint in Limerick
When you going to do Ashboune we need to know
Brilliant vid dude 💯👋👍
How Mother Macs wasn't visited is a dying shame
Great video, well done 👍🏻
Love the channel g just found ya
Great wee video, best craic so far was in Enniskillen, feel like ye need to redo a Belfast one.
No needs to do different towns and cities
love from nyc guru!
Keep battering away at them beautiful pints , everywhere
Should make a video where you go to gravediggers and see if you can make the pint bad, pour it with a single pour, put it in a plastic cup, a new guinness glass, does the taste change? Also go grave diggers directly after guinnesses clean the pipes and then directly before they clean the pipes, does that change the taste?
I always call the first pint the disabeer, cause she goes that quick
Do Killarney
Not in the city. But the Hurlers is a very student orientated pub out near UL. Long history of Guinness there.
Micky Martins is also a great pub.
When trave to Europe clears up to near normal, I am coming back to Ireland and get me some pints.
Dude, if you ever come to Nova Scotia. Come to Clare N.S. Make a video and drink some canned guinnesss 😎
There was a young Guinness Guru,
Who went for a pint in Peru,
The glass was not old,
And contents too cold,
So it only scored a 5 point 2.
Verona football club house in blanchardstown try it
Blades were unsheathed towards the end.......
Do Wexford
Wexford is a great shout! Some of the best pints of Guinness I've ever had were in Jim McGee's. Sinnott's bar is also very good.👍
