    Also The Hut in Phibsboro has the best pint of Guinness in Dublin!
    Real old mans bar. So much so that the Women’s bathroom is basically in the house next door.
    You can have any pint you want once it’s Guinness!

    Coins from the 10th century (as well as the original owner) were found in the walls during renovations in the 1970s. The walls were made of wattle and wicker.
    The floors are also sloped because the river Shannon used to flood. They could just open the other doors to let the water flow out.

    Hello Sir Taster of the Pints. My friend and I once ended up there by chance, in the oldest pub in Ireland, on the way home from Tara and Knowth! Speaking of home, I’m from Inishbofin off Galway, if you want to sample the pints you should visit in the summer when all the bars are open because all except one close for the winter.

    Your score is on point. I would have saying 8.2 or the highest 8.5 . As for the pub it's one of them places on everyone's bucket list. Shannon harbour is only 20 minutes away from athlone and banagher 25 minutes. Shannon harbour is the end of the canal from Dublin before it enters the river shannon. Hough's pub in banagher is another must see pub with a good pint of Guinness

    I have a hard time believing Guinness hasn’t achieved the ability to travel well. The pint I get in California is the same product. I’ve heard as much from people that have traveled. It’s the atmosphere that makes any good drink worth it. One thing I think the US got down is whiskey. I’d much rather drink bourbon than any Irish whiskey. But if I’m drinking Guinness, you bet I’m asking for Redbreast.
