    I have enjoyed a pint of Guinness (or two) in Dan Lowrey's, MacCurtain St.

    Brú have pretty good Guinness as it's always full of tourists spending the night there.

    The Murphys in there is shocking (metallic/acidic) for the above reason, as nobody is buying it.

    Guinness is the tourists drink, I'd imagine the tourist traps like the Old Oak and Oliver Plunkett would have a pretty decent pint of it.

    HiB, welcome inn and costigans would be three if the most realiable for a good pint in the city center.

    On a wet and rainy afternoon take yourself into the corner house.
    Fire on , they have photocopied the daily crosswords and have them on the bar.
    Sit next to the fire with a nice pint and while away a few hours pondering 4 across and let the world slip away.......

    Would a better question be where is the bad pint of Guinness to be had?
    Tastes the same in every bar mentioned above and plenty more besides.

    Yeah I hardly ever drink Beamish outside of Cork because of this.

    There's really not many degrees of skill involved in pulling a pint like, you can either do it properly, or you can't.

    You want a place with a nice pint of Guinness just go to the places where the most people are drinking Guinness so the kegs are changed frequently and the pipes have plenty flowing through, anything else is codology.
