Bennett's Bar & Lounge

Guinness Guru Review - Grogan's

Grogan's - Castle Lounge.

Another pub that we've had a few recommendations for. Grogan's is a lovely pub - great atmosphere and warm and cozy. The staff are very friendly and we sampled the toasties which were fresh and tasty.

We met Nicky Kelly who is a regular and Carl behind the bar who were great to chat to.

The pint was good if not quite at the level we expected from some recommendations and lacked a bit of #shtick. We had a second and it was better so perhaps we were slightly unlucky.

This is a great bar though - one of our favourites that we've done so far.

Guinness Guru review - The Palace Bar

The Palace Bar on Fleet Street.

Although in Temple Bar, the Palace doesn't target the tourist market as strongly as it's neighbours and it's a better experience for locals as a result.

The Victorian-era decor is very nice inside although some might find the long and narrow layout a little claustrophobic.

The pint was spot on, with seeerious #seriousshtick going on. 8.6 final score.

Guinness Guru review - The Gravediggers

This one was special...

John Kavanagh's pub, or as most people know it, 'The Gravediggers' is a pub steeped in family history and you can feel it the second you walk through the door.

Never have I felt more pride being poured into a pint of Guinness and the result speaks for itself. If you believe that there is such a thing as the perfect pint, then this is it...

Huge thanks to Ciaran (7th generation Kavanagh) for being such a good sport.

This is why we do what we do, for nights like this...
