The Doors used to hang out at Barney's Beanery! I was in LA a few weeks ago and could not find a pint above a 5.0 IMO, so I will check out Barney's next time. I am from Syracuse, NY and we have a couple decent pubs here. Best pint in town is actually at a Karaoke bar in a historically Irish neighborhood. $5, two-part pour, old-style 20oz glass, well-kept secret here.
@@ciaranboyle488 Close one lad! Happy to see a reply to that so quickly! Tipperary Hill has some great pints, particularly at Coleman's, who take great pride in keeping their lines clean and the pours properly done, even though the glasses are the newer gravity-style. That said, my favorite Guinness pint in the Syracuse area has to be from Singer's Karaoke Bar in Solvay, which is quite close to Tipp Hill. The atmosphere is far from traditional, but the craic is always great, the patrons are friendly, and the pint is the closest thing to the real deal I've had outside Dub. No joke! Last time I went it was only $5 with domeage and shtick for days. Unbelievable. Kitty Hoyne's in downtown Syr is also very good.
Lots of Guinness pints poured here in Chicago and the burbs... $6 to $7, but maybe not downtown. At Clancy's in Oak Lawn, IL $5 everyday and it's a 7.8!
Diageio/Guinness have new brewery in baltimore supplying all off US n Canada. They are said to import water from ireland to use in brewing and expect Guinness in states to taste the exact same as ireland by end of 2023 after they get all their new reps and crews on the road
Are you talking about Guiness Draught, because I've never had a pint in North America that tastes half as good as the worst pint I had in Ireland. There was a place in D.C. that was better than most but it still tasted more like the inside of an aluminum can. I just don't think Guiness Draught ships well enough to make it worth drinking in America. Once you've had a pint in Ireland, it's never the same here.
@@mwcrowley1 hey mike, yes Guinness draught. Look up Guinness brewery baltimore. I made a mistake on the year they hope to have Guinness taste the same, its 2026 not 2023. Guinness wont have to travel anymore across the pond so they reckin it will be the same as home.
If you ever go back, you've got to get a pint of Guinness at the Tam O'Shanter in LA. They're celebrating their 100th year in 2022, which for the States is quite old.
Lovely film and our regards from Scotland, best pint of Guinness is in my local in 'Tranent SCOTLAND'.. truly.. believe me, there is a teensy hint of Liquorice in every fresh pint, agree?
Great show. Canuck here. Love the passion. I've watched them all and nothing like listening to an expert tell it like it is. Just ordered a Guinness at a pub a few blocks down and it came in a small glass, no shtick and it was downhill from there. I am a fan of Kilkenny but have only tried it from the can.
My dad was chief taster in the UK, worked at the Park Royal brewery before he retired (it’s not there now diageo knocked it down). They used to pay him to go out and see how pubs poured it etc. we grew up on the Guinness grounds. It was great xmas parties for kids, fun fairs in the summer for workers and families. The Guinness clubhouse with snooker, pool, football, cricket, squash courts. We went to San Fran Planet Hollywood restaurant (I think it was) the waiter brought him a Guinness with a head that was about a third of the pint, he complained and the guy brought another with no head on it at all. He got up and left 😂😂
Pleasantly surprised at your verdict, especially seeing as Barney’s menu had spelled Guinness ‘Guiness’. P.S. Guinness in North America brewed and imported from St. James’s Gate, Dublin. The only difference is pasteurization for Guinness exported overseas. Good stuff Guru 👍🏻
@@DawsonLSRP Guinness Draught, which is what the Guru drinks, is brewed in Dublin and imported to the US. The Guinness brewery in Baltimore does not brew Draught Stout. It also does not come from Canada. Just check the can next time you drink it. Cheers!
lmao when i was in LA i did the same thing, I think i walked the entirety of hollywood blvd all the way to Sunset. Such an english thing to do, expecting the US to be walkable
There was a British journalist called Jeffrey Barnard who used to love going to Dublin.He realised something that was very important,how important quality barmen were.In Ireland being a barman used to be proper job.I think a Dublin barman from the old days would be shocked to see that pint of Guinness.
My father in law to be is a barman, and yeah you are bang on, he had to do a course to be a barman...any spotty teenager can be one now. Sad times. Pouring a proper pint is a skill and an artform.
@@hill16upthedubs I asked for a glass of wine in Oxford street London.When I got it the drink was ruined because the glass had not been properly cleaned,the whiskey residue was still in the glass and had destroyed the wine.I had to explain it to the 18 year student who was the "barman".
I went to DC a few months ago and a couple of bars had surprisingly nice Guinness. Some of it was total dog shit but some of them were better than pints in London.
🤣 Great Video!! Sounds like your balls will need some Man Skape attention after sweatin them of in that heat! I bet its frigging boiling there. Enjoyed it 👍 😊
Headed to Dublin from the states tomorrow. Looking forward to following some of your recommendations! No doubt I’m expecting a better experience than you had in L.A. 😉
If you ever come to Wichita KS. Go to the Artichoke. Really respectful pints. Just got back from Ireland and closest I can find to a good pint in the states. 🍻
Lad, I’m an Irish fella from Belfast who just moved out in 2020 in California. Up here in the Sacramento Valley it’s 41oC the past few days! You’d melt up here my friend! Sadly, the I don’t even waste my money on a pint of Guinness in CA. But the craft beer scene is the best in the world.
Been following the insta story's the last few days I was in most of them bars you where in including Barney's beanery back in 2019 and the prices where nowhere near this dear. I wonder what happened the past three years.
I feel bad that your first experience of Guinness in America was in California lol everyone in America knows for good irish bars/pints of Guinness = NYC, Boston and some parts of Philadelphia
How much was it in the end for the mini pint, $14? It is fractionally stronger I suppose, hence the slight difference in flavour? Also I suppose if you go to the north-east where it's more popular, Guinness will supply branded glasses in the smaller US pint size?
I live in the northeast and can confirm you will receive it served in an American version Guinness glass typically, especially if you go to a more proper Irish pub. Irish pubs are extremely popular in the northeast. I live in a (smaller) city and we have 3 Irish pubs with decent pints.
@@Wajz3 Thanks for that, I'll be interrested to try it? Haven't been over there since the seventies and I was too young to drink then! What's the average price over there where you are, I know there's a difference as I said before, as your pint is slightly stronger but smaller than ours? Where I am, it's equivalent to around $5.00 US for a 20 fluid ounce, Imperial measure pint of Guinness.
Draught is currently been shipped from Ireland. But There is a new brewery in baltimore which will supply all Draught Guinness in US and Canada. And they reckin by 2026 that it will taste the same a Draught in ireland.

it was out of a can "nitro" clues on the menu!

Nah not necessarily. They had other stuff on that menu labelled nitro. Could just be labelling it as a nitrogen pump

Next time, go to Irelands 32 in Sherman Oaks.

It’s a decent Porter, but it’s no Guinness.
Definitely a desperation review. 🤣

Get up to Vancouver and come to Donnellan's.
Glad it was happy hour. $14 for Guinness normally, that's £11.15 in my money ffs. The way I knock them back I would be skint in one night.
Imagine paying £70 on Guinness alone
New York Irish bars for people not from Ireland, but think they are.

Holy fck the world is well and truly finished
Because it was happy hour might have affected the care they took with pouring the pint
It's odd as to why Guinness in the USA is more than in Ireland. In the USA the Guinness is 5.6% alcohol an in ireland its 4.2% 🤔🤔🤔
You might be thinking of Guinness's Extra Stout, which is at 5.6%. Regular ol' Guinness is 4.2
First mistake was going to California. Come to Pennsylvania where there is a HUGE population of ppl with Irish heritage..
guinness in philly especially on a cold crisp winter day always strikes me as intrguing
thank god i dont live there and a flight to dublin only costs me 20 euro
I'd never go back to LA! Not surprised Guinness shite! SF, Seattle, Portland the cities to see on west coast. I understand free trip though...
*Also maybe San Diego...
Terrible recommendations. San Diego should be number one. Portland completely blows, Seattle is decent and San Fran is sketch as fuck.
