I actually think this is the best video so far on your channel, and I've watched all of them, many multiple times. The bit at the end with different pubs was brilliant, and could legit be used by someone like Failte Ireland.
Enjoying the new content mate. Didn’t just watch you just for the Guinness stuff as you always seemed like a sound lad with decent crack - which is why I will continue to watch your videos. You took a risk and ventured off the beaten path to go in a new direction, but it was the right choice since you said you weren’t happy doing what you were doing. You’re definitely a natural at this and will go from strength to strength - looking forward to see where the channel goes!
I lived in Dublin for five years and totally agree with this advice. Good to experience Temple Bar as a tourist but go see the more authentic parts. Was back in those three recommended pubs on my visit earlier this month. Keep up the good work.
Maybe a cool video idea would be to show tourists coming to Dublin your favourite pubs where you can really party / have a great time. Dont get me wrong, I totally understand any criticism of the Temple Bar, but when I fly to Dublin with three mates and we arrive at lunchtime we want to have a great time :D. Having a few pints in Mulligans or Bowes is certainly on the agenda, but in pubs without music and with an older crowd, the fun factor takes a back seat. That's why I love the Dublin live music scene, the trad music scene in particular. But especially in the early afternoons the Temple Bar is almost without alternative for us.
@@benmcmullan718 Above all, he tells us where to get a good pint of Guinness. Not necessarily where there is good live music etc or where he would go not only for good Guinness but also for a "party atmosphere", which I find would be a great video idea.
I have to say I was skeptical about how successful the new style of content would be. But it's such a refreshing change, like the shackles have been removed and you have a new lease of life. Keep up the good work!!
what I did earlier this month when I visited Dublin: get your pics in front of the Temple Bar just so people know you went there, then have your pint of Guinness at the Palace Bar a few metres east at 6.90
AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Thanks for giving head to head prices… I am going to Ireland for 87 days!!! I will skip the Temple bar and support the other Pubs being fair to their Patrons…
I went in here last year for the craic, asked for a Beamish and the head on the thing extended down beyond the logo, I was shocked and appalled. Obviously they know the vast majority of their clientele are foreign and either don't know or don't want to complain about the standard
Just visited Dublin, kept running into a place called The Bankers at the edge of the Temple Bar area. Had some tourists like myself and some locals too. Pint was 6,40, I think. The Bankers was nicely busy, not too crowded but far from dead too, good craic!
I was a regular visitor to Dublin before covid. I only visited the Temple Bar pub once on my first visit, and I never went back. I found pubs further away from the temple bar where slightly cheaper
Went 3 years ago and it was expensive. Then I went in May and I couldn’t believe the price. I had the classic Guinness then the partner had a gunpowder gin and lemonade and it came to €21. I’ve kept the receipt to remind me of the heartache
I get it. It's like going to New Orleans and just doing Bourbon Street. The locals wouldn't be caught dead, but if you're a tourist, you aren't going to miss it.
Damn... we must have missed the Guru. We went to Bowes and Mulligans on my birthday on 20th of July. We are from Germany and knew becouse of the videos from Daragh, that these are the spots for the creamiest of the Black Stoff. ;) Loved it. Thants for that Daragh. Wish I could be back there. Love Ireland.
Well said. It's about time the whole street on Temple bar was shamed. Dublin used to be a fantastic place for a pint. But I'll be honest, the prices are getting stupid now. I actually prefer Belfast now. Less tourism, cheaper and the Guinness is just as good.
Hey Daragh, I’m a travel consultant in Niagara Falls Canada and we have some proud Guinness pubs here. Come out for a trip it would make for some awesome videos, it’s a ton of fun here. I could build the itinerary for you here in Niagara and Toronto.
Another banger video. Was in Dublin in April and walked all over Temple Bar area and never went into the Temple Bar pub. The Palace was amazing. Bowe’s was classic. The Stag’s Head was phenomenal. You go the the TB pub to party w other tourists and that’s it. You want something of a real Irish experience, go to the other pubs.
I took a nice photo of the temple bar pub, but had my touristy jars in Darkey Kelly's, they had nice music in there and a decent pint, it was busy. The Christ church nearby was a nice bit of culture to visit. I enjoyed my working trip to Dublin❤
As a Diageo investor, I don't mind 😄 As an Englishman in a relationship with a Dubliner, I understand the tourist trap, but I still tend to frequent the area because it's a good laugh, love the live music, always great atmosphere, rarely have more than 3+ drinks though because of the expense. Can understand people getting upset with prices. But if you're made aware before hand, it's not so much of a shock. I really enjoy O'Neills by Molly Malone statue. Best Guinness served in there, downstairs bar.
I used to work in bars in the busy 1990's. Even back then I knew all this was coming to a close. The bars were rammed, people were spending a fortune, getting wasted, there was a loud band playing, and the bar was always 3-4 rows deep. I used to look around and think "A generation is going to come along who won't put up with this". That generation is now. Remember, our wages were a lot less, so even €4 a drink was very expensive. Its never been cheap to go drinking.
NINE QUID, my god. Thankfully I only looked at this pub from the outside and, thanks to your previous videos, didn't bother getting a pint from here. Loved the video lad.
I'm from Leitrim and I'd definitely recommend a visit , a night or 2 in Temple Bar . Mighty spot . Great music, friendly people and lovely old style pubs. Only downside is the price of drink but upside of that is u dont drink so much.
I’ve only been to Dublin twice, I like the temple bar area as it’s got a great atmosphere, but I’ve never been tempted to go into the actual bar. There’s so many other good bars with live music and good Guinness.
Temple Bar is where I used to go in my 20s I remember in 1995 it was £2.45 for the the bottles of beer(330ml) in Buskers, and Guinness was a little cheaper. Oh, and Temple Bar area gets its name from Temple Barre, and old French word for market or gathering place. And the pub named itself after the area.
I think big groups of tourists struggle to get into many of the late night spots outside of temple bar area. A lot of British tourists see it as a strip like on spanish resorts.
An excellent video. Just back from Dublin the day this was uploaded after being inspired to finally visit after watching your channel. Beautiful city and pub culture! Agree with The Temple Bar but one of the only places where the Guinness is flowing at 12:00PM mid week, a guaranteed seat with live music. Ended with a trip to The Gravediggers and a chat over a pint with Ciaran Kavanagh. A must visit for any Guinness drinker.
This is 100% why The Temple Bar (The pub not the place) is always rammed full of tourists but with no locals. I live in London but have an Irish family & when they come here they don’t give a shit about going to central London & paying £8 a pint whereas they’d never do the same in central Dublin. I guess people’s attitudes are just different when they’re on holiday.
Can you make a video in Waterford and try and find out what makes a Blaa different to any other bread roll? This baffles me but you are the man to uncover the truth
Love Dublin but this year we were priced out visiting due to the price of the hotels, we went to Belfast instead fantastic City but the Guinness was better in Dublin! Loads of better pubs than the temple bar tho!!
Aye, I started doing Belfast in 2016. Much cheaper and wider availability of Airbnbs. The "no trackkies" policy of some pubs was an absolute ballache though.
Been there - didn't enjoy that area for going to the pubs there. Toner's and The Liberty Belle were my favorite spots that I had the enjoyment of drinking at!
I recently went to Dublin and went to the Temple Bar Pub just to say that I'd been there. However, at 9.50 euros a pint, it was one and done. Temple Bar is a tourist trap. I did enjoy my time in Dublin though and the Guinness was amazing.
Love the new style of content man! You've got the gift of the gab. You made eating a steak interesting in the last vid. I just posted a video drinking in China. You should come join if you ever get the chance
You see on Facebook people put up picture of a receipt from temple bar especially later on in the night and the price is shocking. It's about time that place was named and shamed, it's ridiculous how bad it Is.
Hey Darragh,my memories of The Temple Bar pub in Temple Bar was of the regular price hikes over the evening. So say 8 Euro in the afternoon, 9 Euro after 5pm, 11 Euro after 7 pm and who knows after that. ypor review did not account for the time of day. Maybe you should revisit on a Saturday at different times of the evening.
Its videos like this that help us tourists save the money we work so hard to earn. 8 euro 95 for a pint is silly money. I would say they are taking advantage, especially with it being so busy there.
Respect for this video .Im a Dubliner and I can tell you Temple bar is a horrible tourist trap . Very expensive and also it's about 15 years out of date by comparison to the rest of Dublin . South William street is the mecca in my opinion .
Temple Bar area has been like that for 20 years. The best place in temple bar was (maybe still there) is a sit in kebab place in the area. And up behind the central bank there was a quality wee pub called The Foggy Dew. Been a long time.
Hey Daragh, like this style of vid that you've done. As for the daft bint who likes getting ripped off, I've got a few Orion video players in the loft for sale 😂. Worked over in Dubs during the mid to late 90s, and all the Irish lads told me to avoid Temple Bar as it's overhyped and pricey. Looks like things don't change much. Plenty of suckers ready to part with their readies.
Didn’t go there myself, what I can say is that a pint of Guinness is around €6 -€8 everywhere else in around temple bar I went unless I was out the city centre it went to €5.50 I have also realised for myself personally. That a pint can vary in quality not by much when you find a decent place pouring it regularly. But it definitely for me can vary a little. I went Bowes which was great but my favourite place for a Guinness was the old storehouse.
So right Daragh , I hated Temple bar area . Rip off and zero Irish in area . We went to your recommended pubs , and had a BRILLIANT time. Our parents our Irish born , so wanted more authentic experience ❤
I would say yes it is worth going to as a tourist but don't spend your whole holiday there. If coming to Dublin for a weekend i would say set aside alot of money to spend 1 night in temple bar and then the other 2 nights in pubs slightly outside temple bar for alot cheaper. look at the atmosphere in the temple bar pub darragh first went into early afternoon, and then contrast it with mulligans which was pretty dead. No one wants to travel half way round the world to sit in mulligans when they can have a busy pub somewhere in temple bar. It is what it is.
Just came back from 10 days in Ireland. We walked by the Temple bar and took a picture. We drank elsewhere. I did go to gravediggers the night before I left but I spent most of the trip in Galway and Donegal. Guinness does not travel well. It’s not the same in the states or most of Europe.
So you buy a €9 pint of Guinness owned by a British company, served by a Brazilian barmaid, with what looks like a bar without a single Irish person in there...what a sad tourist trap.
Good to see you happy and energised Daragh, the content has been very fresh and exciting to watch. Keep up the good work!
I actually think this is the best video so far on your channel, and I've watched all of them, many multiple times. The bit at the end with different pubs was brilliant, and could legit be used by someone like Failte Ireland.

Come to Belfast and u can pay 10 quid for a pint
@Yourballix who wants to drink in Belfast it's a kip
Everyone coming to Dublin for the first time should watch this. Perfect insight!

Mulligans is good as a starter pub then move on the temple bar
Thats literally his whole channel. He's telling you where is good to go.
@@benmcmullan718 Above all, he tells us where to get a good pint of Guinness. Not necessarily where there is good live music etc or where he would go not only for good Guinness but also for a "party atmosphere", which I find would be a great video idea.

Fair play, Daragh. This is good content you are doing here. Nice one.

Was in Mulligan's a few weeks ago. One of the best pints of Guinness I've ever had. Well worth the 6.20
Mulligans in Manchester?My hometown used to go in regularly over da years but now live in Castlebar County Mayo….God I miss Manchester
@@jayd1974 no, Mulligan's in the video
Should be £2 00 a pint. Ripping off bstards.
Just visited Dublin, kept running into a place called The Bankers at the edge of the Temple Bar area. Had some tourists like myself and some locals too. Pint was 6,40, I think. The Bankers was nicely busy, not too crowded but far from dead too, good craic!

9 euros is just taking the piss isn't it. Will obviously avoid.

Videography and editing is so much better now! Was badly needed
The new content is working so well for you glad to see you so hyped
The absolute state of that pint. I'm no Guinness snob by any means but for nearly 9 quid I'd expect the pint to look alot better than that scandalous
love this new content matey- Its so interesting to see the ins and out of Ireland, great stuff Daragh!
4:23 the irony of this statement is palpable 😂😂😂😅
I really enjoyed the format to this video, definitely something I look forward to in other videos!
love these honest reviews! more people need to be like this instead of trying to find the good
NINE QUID, my god. Thankfully I only looked at this pub from the outside and, thanks to your previous videos, didn't bother getting a pint from here. Loved the video lad.
Great videos, dude. Well moderated and excellently edited...
I'm from Leitrim and I'd definitely recommend a visit , a night or 2 in Temple Bar . Mighty spot . Great music, friendly people and lovely old style pubs. Only downside is the price of drink but upside of that is u dont drink so much.
enjoying these new style vids Daragh, fair play mate
Fab content! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
I haven't been able to drink Stout since a bad hangover in 2016. Your channel is making me want to drink Guinness again.
I’ve only been to Dublin twice, I like the temple bar area as it’s got a great atmosphere, but I’ve never been tempted to go into the actual bar. There’s so many other good bars with live music and good Guinness.
Great video. Can't wait to get back to Ireland in October.
We walked through the temple bar area 2 weeks ago. Paid 7 euro for a pint in other parts of town. Cheapest I paid was 5.30 in Ballinasloe
Really loved this style of video!
Temple Bar is where I used to go in my 20s I remember in 1995 it was £2.45 for the the bottles of beer(330ml) in Buskers, and Guinness was a little cheaper.

Yes, like the refreshed content! 🇮🇪 🇺🇸
I actually went last Saturday night, it was rammed, we waited 10 mins to be served and got one of the worst pints of guinness I've ever seen for €9
The Palace, the Porter house and Bowes are decent pubs within temple bar.
Can you make a video in Waterford and try and find out what makes a Blaa different to any other bread roll? This baffles me but you are the man to uncover the truth
Fair play to Noel he's working there and don't touch alcohol. Nice guy
Spot on Daragh, we come to Dublin every two years, soak up the atmosphere in Temple bar area then drink in Bowes.
I loved the Palace bar.
Love Dublin but this year we were priced out visiting due to the price of the hotels, we went to Belfast instead fantastic City but the Guinness was better in Dublin! Loads of better pubs than the temple bar tho!!
Aye, I started doing Belfast in 2016. Much cheaper and wider availability of Airbnbs. The "no trackkies" policy of some pubs was an absolute ballache though.
Good man I think it’s a good idea to review the bars, review the crowd? Review the bacon and cabbage all the very best.
Nice change of content seems much more refreshed.
Cheers enjoyed this one good tips for people coming into Dublin!
Been there - didn't enjoy that area for going to the pubs there. Toner's and The Liberty Belle were my favorite spots that I had the enjoyment of drinking at!
Price of a pint is shocking anywhere in Dublin. I paid €6.80 for a pint of Coors yesterday ffs
I recently went to Dublin and went to the Temple Bar Pub just to say that I'd been there. However, at 9.50 euros a pint, it was one and done.
Temple Bar is a tourist trap. I did enjoy my time in Dublin though and the Guinness was amazing.
Worth walking through, there's some good live music spots but vastly better and cheaper pubs and restaurants within walking distance.
Love the new style of content man! You've got the gift of the gab. You made eating a steak interesting in the last vid. I just posted a video drinking in China. You should come join if you ever get the chance

Temple is such a fun place for a night. Definitely worth it as a "tourist."

What about that Arlington hotel just over the halfpenny bridge? We had a great night in there.
It's mad the price of a pint is almost €9 in the south.
Here in the north you're paying £4 - 5.50 max
This is fantastic content!
When I visit family in Dublin don't go out drinking, far too expensive. Good video Daragh.
I go every year, love it
Temple Bar area has been like that for 20 years. The best place in temple bar was (maybe still there) is a sit in kebab place in the area. And up behind the central bank there was a quality wee pub called The Foggy Dew. Been a long time.

Another excellent video 👍👍👍👍
Didn’t bother my first trip to Ireland. Walked right past it my second trip and went to Bowes and Mulligans!
Around Dingle I payed €5-5.50 for a pint of guiness. Only the Irish coffee somewhere at the ring of Kerry got me, I payed €7.5 for it lol
Didn’t go there myself, what I can say is that a pint of Guinness is around €6 -€8 everywhere else in around temple bar I went unless I was out the city centre it went to €5.50 I have also realised for myself personally. That a pint can vary in quality not by much when you find a decent place pouring it regularly. But it definitely for me can vary a little. I went Bowes which was great but my favourite place for a Guinness was the old storehouse.
i would say this it might not be the best guinness in dublin but it alot better than what we get in england
Oh Carol! You're selling trinkets to tourists too! 🙂
How to order a pint of Guinness? Just say a pint? Guinness? What do
The Hairy Lemon was my favourite place in Dublin for a Guinness
Great video😊
This is the Best Pub Guide of all Time 😂😂😂😂😂
More of the Same Tom 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cheers Tom
Guiness in Bowes is way better and cheaper at 5.90.👍
Maths: 3 Guinness at Temple = 4 Guinness and pocket change at Mulligans. That’s all I need to know.
Been there,never again, Pish!
totally agree
So right Daragh , I hated Temple bar area . Rip off and zero Irish in area . We went to your recommended pubs , and had a BRILLIANT time. Our parents our Irish born , so wanted more authentic experience ❤
Palace Bar is my favorite
I would say yes it is worth going to as a tourist but don't spend your whole holiday there. If coming to Dublin for a weekend i would say set aside alot of money to spend 1 night in temple bar and then the other 2 nights in pubs slightly outside temple bar for alot cheaper.

Why is there a fishing tackle shop in the middle of a busy rourist area? I chuckle everytime i see it.
Just came back from 10 days in Ireland. We walked by the Temple bar and took a picture. We drank elsewhere. I did go to gravediggers the night before I left but I spent most of the trip in Galway and Donegal. Guinness does not travel well. It’s not the same in the states or most of Europe.
Love mulligans, great guinness
i got a few pints in the temple bar few years ago they were feckin lovely
So you buy a €9 pint of Guinness owned by a British company, served by a Brazilian barmaid, with what looks like a bar without a single Irish person in there...what a sad tourist trap.
9 quid is a fair shout...as long as you get a free telly with it...UTFT:)
