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.

Everyone coming to Dublin for the first time should watch this. Perfect insight!

Bowes and Walsh's are two of the great, great pubs

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!

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

Much nicer pub aswell

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 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.

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

Was in Mulligan's a few weeks ago. One of the best pints of Guinness I've ever had. Well worth the 6.20

Should be £2 00 a pint. Ripping off bstards.

This is much better than straight Guinness reviews 🎉

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 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

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.

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.

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!!

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

love this new content matey- Its so interesting to see the ins and out of Ireland, great stuff Daragh!

I really enjoyed the format to this video, definitely something I look forward to in other videos!

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

We went in last week. We knew it was expensive and walked past a few times on previous nights. Decided to go in because it looked a good atmosphere. Wasn't disappointed, good band on, everyone joining in, very busy. We stayed for 2 drinks. Expensive but a must do if visiting Dublin.

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.

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

The new content is working so well for you glad to see you so hyped

Great videos, dude. Well moderated and excellently edited...

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.

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.

enjoying these new style vids Daragh, fair play mate

Really loved this style of video!

The Palace, the Porter house and Bowes are decent pubs within temple bar.

Great video. Can't wait to get back to Ireland in October.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

Videography and editing is so much better now! Was badly needed

Cheers enjoyed this one good tips for people coming into Dublin!

Spot on Daragh, we come to Dublin every two years, soak up the atmosphere in Temple bar area then drink in Bowes.

Doyles on college street has a good pint of Guinness

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.

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!

Fab content! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

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.

Nice change of content seems much more refreshed.

I haven't been able to drink Stout since a bad hangover in 2016. Your channel is making me want to drink Guinness again.

love these honest reviews! more people need to be like this instead of trying to find the good

I loved the Palace bar.

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.

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.

Palace Bar is my favorite

What about that Arlington hotel just over the halfpenny bridge? We had a great night in there.

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.

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.

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.

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

4:23 the irony of this statement is palpable 😂😂😂😅

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.

When I visit family in Dublin don't go out drinking, far too expensive. Good video Daragh.

Great to see the Guinness Guru is back

Price of a pint is shocking anywhere in Dublin. I paid €6.80 for a pint of Coors yesterday ffs

Didn’t bother my first trip to Ireland. Walked right past it my second trip and went to Bowes and Mulligans!

Fair play to Noel he's working there and don't touch alcohol. Nice guy

Guiness in Bowes is way better and cheaper at 5.90.👍

It's funny. I was in Dublin a lot up to the start of the summer and a few times I was up for a sneaky pint before I'd get the bus home, but I never knew which place to try. Mulligan's is literally around corner from where I'd get my bus, but I never ventured down Poolbeg St, really.

You might have been looking at Chaplins whilst waiting for the bus! Which has a good pint too!

i got a few pints in the temple bar few years ago they were feckin lovely

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.

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

Come to Longford😉

Honest advice, thank you

totally agree

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.

This is fantastic content!

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

I go every year, love it

Oh Carol! You're selling trinkets to tourists too! 🙂

Another excellent video 👍👍👍👍

Why is there a fishing tackle shop in the middle of a busy rourist area? I chuckle everytime i see it.

Love the new style

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.

Just the feeling of being ripped off sticks in my mind and i find it unbearable. So thats £7.87 for me, would have one and go somewhere else. Enjoyed Guinness Guru channel glad your expanding and doing more content.

Great video😊

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

How to order a pint of Guinness? Just say a pint? Guinness? What do

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 .

9 quid is a fair shout...as long as you get a free telly with it...UTFT:)

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

temple bar is a tourist trap

I went to a couple of pubs here in Perth, West Australia and got a pint of 'White Rabbit' dark ale, $13 a pint, which is about 9 euro geez, just geez

Worth walking through, there's some good live music spots but vastly better and cheaper pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

Was in Dublin last year absolutely loved the Guinness in the temple bar but I’m certainly no guru, was expensive but one off didn’t mind although I would definitely check out those other pubs when I’m next in Dublin. Cheers 🍻

Over the summer was in Doyle’s pub and spent €7.10 on a pint of Heineken

Go to the long hall,best pints of porter in Dublin.

i would say this it might not be the best guinness in dublin but it alot better than what we get in england

Every time ive been to dublin ive been to the palace bar

From Dublins Liberties the last time I drank there and the area was 35yrs ago. I wouldn't be found dead in it. They're only short of charging you for a piss. Give me Noctors any time.

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.

The Hairy Lemon was my favourite place in Dublin for a Guinness
