Best Pint of Guinness in Dublin?

Surely the quality (enjoyment) of a pint of Guinness is to some extent influenced by its surroundings? I mean the very fact of drinking Guinness in a tourist trap like the Storehouse would ruin it for me, just as surely as drinking a pint of Guinness out of a branded lager glass.

After two years living in Dublin I can't say that I ever had a BAD pint. You guys are incredibly lucky to have a bar tradition that takes pride in serving a good pint every time. Call for a Guinness here in Jersey or in the UK and the barman/girl will invariably just throw it into the glass and push the foaming result hopefully in your direction.
However I can't recall a memorable pint, one that stands out ahead of the rest. Being of a certain age I tend to frequent 'old man' pubs. (I simply avoid the city centre superpubs and younger crowds, and probably wouldn't get into a club
) One or two bars not mentioned here which I particulary look forward to visiting are Doolan's (Hogan Place), WJ Kavanagh's (Dorset Street) and the Yacht (Ringsend).
The only pint I've objected to wasn't in Dublin but in Barry's (Douglas) where they served it ice-cold and I was told that 'everyone likes it that way' :eek:0 -

Cheers for the plug, its myself and two others that post on here (both of whom have considerably more posts than me!!) on run CHTM. We reckon we've visited over 120 pubs in Dublin at this point. My three favourite pints so far have been Brogan's (its my local, and I've never gotten a bad pint in the place) Kehoes and The Dame Tavern.
I've heard it said that Guinness staff recommend the pints in Brogan's. Used to love the pint in Mulligan's, but it has gone downhill of late. 0 -

I love Brogans too but don't think it is the best pint in town. Where else can ya meet the stars of "Leap Year" and rip the piss out of them (well the direction team any way)
Haha, Ben? Sure you don't get much out of Ben bar a sneer and a "grazie" when eh gives you your change! John on the other hand, top lad. Love the place myself, have had some epic sessions there. I think it was one of the lads from CHTM! who gave a walking tour to some Guinness workers and they said it to him! 0 -

The rugby sessions are things of legend. Once you get in under the tv you;re in for the night!0 -
