Ever since I could see over the bar I have been in Bowles’s shlugging the black stuff. An 8.8 doesn’t reflect the work being put in to create that masterpiece. This is by far the best pint I have ever had in my life, every single day it tastes better and I can only see it getting better day in day out. I hope to have many more years in me to spend down at this lovely spot. I’m delighted for my Da.
My wife and I road tripped all of Ireland for a month...(we eloped as well there) drank Guinness for a solid 4 weeks. Came back home to Canada and ordered a pint and it was like I was drinking a beer with a bunch of pennies, very metallic tasting. If you come to US/Canada area, I'll be very curious as to what you think. I actually don't think you'll enjoy it.
I'm in NS and we have the Old Triangle or Celtic Corner to get a pint. It's better than the cans but watching these videos I can only dream how much better the Guinness tastes in Ireland. Someday...
Good on you Guru...only came across your channel a few weeks ago.....Im not in the Instagram generation which I know you use mostly, but i hope you keep up the RUclips videos. There great. We have even started to use your phrases in my local here in Limerick....Shtick :) ...keep it up lad, great personality you have......Guinness pints need a moderator ....
Love your videos! BTW am a big fan of Dave Portnoy’s “one bite everyone knows the rules” ! Am from the US! Can’t wait to see you visiting NYC and to let us know where to grab a great pint of Guinness! Keep up the good work mate! Cheers!!!
Pity you couldn't do country pubs.. Hard to get 5 different pubs in 1 night.. Great channel..and great to see you put limerick in a good light.. Great city to go out in
I think I've figured out your scoring system. Your standard, proper, good pint gets an 8. Anything above that is "Whoa! This is really nice!" Anything 7-8 is "Step up yer game there lads!" Below 7 is "Fuck me! That is wrong on so many levels!' From 8.5 to 9.3 is as close to perfect as humanly possible. From 9.4 to 9.9 is "God poured me a Guinness." To get a 10, God would have to become a pint & invite you to partake! Close?
I just started drinking an odd pint of guinness just because of you channel and really enjoying it, my grandfather drank it by the gallon he was from longford, keep up the good work love from Scotland 🤝
Nice vid. Great to see pubs where there's healthy chat going on without ear busting music. Don't get me wrong I like music, but some pubs you can't chat because the music is so loud. All the best to you
Well Jon, I am half Irish and am exactly the same except I tried it a few days ago and can honestly say I have never wrapped my lips around something so foul in my whole life (maybe sprouts) Using the word cream to describe Guinness should be illegal but still here I am watching away haha
acquired taste for most, used to never like it but now im practically a connoisseur. most bars here in the US that have it on tap actually don't know how to pour so it comes out very bitter or somehow flat. its also not as good out of the can imo.
@EnderVelo that describes exactly how mine came out of the can, flat, very bitter and almost had a liquorice taste to it. Will try one from the local and see if its an improvement.
I used to live in Limerick years ago. The best pints I had were from the 'extra cold' tap in Jerry O'Dea's front bar. The first few gulps were so cold they'd hurt your throat. Nectar of the Gods.
Should have called to Charlie St George's pub around the corner from Myles Breen. It's my favourite pub in Limerick City for a pint of the black stuff. It was also a a haunt of Richard Harris in his younger days!
I’m a Belfast man but live in London now and am constantly on the lookout for great London Guinness pints. Do a London video if you’re able to man. Cheers
All these pints look amazing and look tasty in Ireland, should come over to England and try some of our pints where I'm from some of the guniness is terrible, I was in a pub ordered a guniness and the bar lady poured it straight to the top no resting time and it had no shtick tasted like water and metal, not all pubs just my local area but so disappointing after watching these videos
@@RobD2788 I'm from Kent it's actually a irish pub but to be the fair all the beers in there are quite bad must be something to do with the lines and gas, our weatherspoons does quite a decent pint though
Jeez I would never drink Guinness in a Weatherspoons did once and was rotten.I’m originally from Manchester and there’s a good few pubs that doo a daycent pint👍Living in Castlebar in County Mayo since October 21 savage Guinness 😋😋
@@jayd1974 must just be luck of the draw, I'm in a pub now called the goose and the guniness is just weird, tasting like metal, I'm starting to prefer guniness out of a draught can
JJ's is a min 9, having drank there Bowes and gravediggers i think its on a par with both so that it was Sub 9 seems way off. Otherwise dead on about limerick, great city with a load of quality pubs
Stumbled across your channel m8 I’m a Guinness drinker and a buckfast drinker from Scotland have you mixed Guinness with buckfast if not would you consider trying it :)
Should make a video where you go to gravediggers and see if you can make the pint bad, pour it with a single pour, put it in a plastic cup, a new guinness glass, does the taste change? Also go grave diggers directly after guinnesses clean the pipes and then directly before they clean the pipes, does that change the taste?
I was thinking JJ Bowes might have even reached a 9, but 8.8 is fair and very good. Have you got a league table going somewhere? Just fun to keep tabs on scores and what cities are best 👍🏼
Gravediggers in Glasnevin is #1 (and likely will always stay #1) and then Bowes is #2. Only 1 other pub has ever gotten into the 9’s but I can’t remember it off the top of my head
@@boland73 Cheers Michael 👍🏼 I remember the Gravediggers and Bowes reviews…top stuff. But, like you, could recall many other 9s. A trip to Gravediggers is a must, me thinks! 👍🏼🎄🍻
Gerrys pints hit and miss now, depends who pulls it, very small head , sent it back, barman put it under counter then gave same pint back a few mins later, had to ask the bar manager to pull a proper pint..and it was grand, needless to say it was the barman that was clueless...
Dead right nothing wrong with Limerick don't mind those posh gowls
As a Guinness lover in the United States, I envy yall in Ireland. You get the best of the best. Slainte!

Couldn’t of said it better myself
fact about it pal
9.5
Yeah he's almost pigeonholed himself with the gravediggers 9.3 at this stage.
Lads he said limerick was great I'm proud of that love limerick pubs never being in jj s but I will be
This channel is personally responsible for me now only drinking Guiness when I go out. Such good content!

Just joined your channel from Australia bro. Love your content, & most of all your honesty. Keep doing what you do 🍻
Fair play for shticking up for Limerick! Great city with savage pubs. Agree on JJ's being the best, could have possibly been a 9!

Lovin the content from Ontario Canada, I miss the Guinness in Ireland (2001) gotta get back! Thanks Guru! ☮️
You'd swear I was an alcoholic - 😂😂
What a legend💪💪
Went to JJ's yesterday, a day after the video was posted. Never knew the place existed, savage pint.
I’ve just found your Guinness Guru thing and love it,from one Guru to another,good luck 🍀

Love this channel. Although it makes me wish I lived in Ireland. The pubs and Guinness look so much better than in England
A proper gent , thanks for setting the story straight on our great city .Glad all the pints were ''daycent''.Great channel
I work in JJ's part time. Definitely the best pint in the city. A 9 for me.
Debatable
I just started drinking an odd pint of guinness just because of you channel and really enjoying it, my grandfather drank it by the gallon he was from longford, keep up the good work love from Scotland 🤝
birmingham next for another international best guinness? i hope so, loving the vids mate. top class!

The best spot for pints 🍻 great video.
Another great video 👍. Happy New Year to all 🥳🍻🎉
Happy new year , hope you have a good one 🍾🙏
One of the best so far - definitely must be hard to rate with an audience
I love how this video progresses I go from being able to keep up with the slang to no idea what the fuck is being said! Love it.
Great pubs in limerick, and the locals are always very friendly
Never drank Guinness, father in law does, and wifeys family are all irish. How can I love watching videos on a product I’ve never had😂

Me too! I’ve never gotten into the Guinness myself but I love the videos
@@bombaclot genuine question: how can you a connoisseur if you live in the US?
"Holy F**k - it's gone."
Inhalation IS a word.
Great video.
Love the vids buddy. The mugs on the other 2. Lol.
Jj Bowles. The best pub my dad introduced me to and our favourite place to have a Guiness in ❤️
Haha that spillage 🤣🤣 gas man!

Head for the ferry bridge in Clarina. About 6 miles from the city.
I did abit of testing about the shtick and I've found out you get more shtick when the glass is dry.
Love the vids keep it up. ❤
Obviously 😂😭😂
Is this a joke?

The Harp in Covent Garden used to do a decent pint of plain

O briens West Ealing. Best I've had in London
Frosty's Bar, Kenton Rd, Harrow HA3 9DW is reputed to have good guinness.
Limerick,great pubs & great people, Luimneach Abú 🙌
Brilliant vid dude 💯👋👍
Great video and pints👍Those 2 bellends we’re a bit too close for comfort 😬🙄
Great wee video, best craic so far was in Enniskillen, feel like ye need to redo a Belfast one.
No needs to do different towns and cities
Can't argue with JJ Bowles fantastic pint . Tom Collins for us a close 2nd too
Last time I came this early my girlfriend left me slainte

Haha love the scouse accent, just noticed your Liverpool video so I’ll be watching that next!
Hi Guru,
When are leaving the Big smoke and dropping up to Drogheda visiting Gleeson's Clarkes and Scarsfeilds. Great start 22
Love the channel g just found ya
Hey Guru,
When will more merch be available?
Limerick here. All of these pubs are good choices but the the best Guinness in Limerick is Mother Mac's no question.
Yo Guru, I'm curious to know how the shtick from the bottle pour differs from the Guiness poured from the keg. Viewing from Puerto Rico
All these pints look amazing and look tasty in Ireland, should come over to England and try some of our pints where I'm from some of the guniness is terrible, I was in a pub ordered a guniness and the bar lady poured it straight to the top no resting time and it had no shtick tasted like water and metal, not all pubs just my local area but so disappointing after watching these videos

The 2 lads getting the photo..show yourselves 😂
Paul Flannerys on Shannon Street is the best pint in Limerick, unreal 👌
When you going to do Ashboune we need to know
JJ's is a min 9, having drank there Bowes and gravediggers i think its on a par with both so that it was Sub 9 seems way off. Otherwise dead on about limerick, great city with a load of quality pubs
You should do the best pint on the Aran Islands, try all 3 islands
Isn't Limerick famous for its musicians? Enjoyed the pub craic all the best lads! And yes, Inhalation IS a word!
Great music scene in Limerick. A great mix of scenes too
Best one Yet . Up the Treaty
About to start getting into guineas because of this guy, just don’t really know what Im trying to taste for
Please do celbridge in kildare all the pubs there do cracking pints of guinness
Can’t beat a pint in limerick lad 💪
Stumbled across your channel m8 I’m a Guinness drinker and a buckfast drinker from Scotland have you mixed Guinness with buckfast if not would you consider trying it :)
Whatever happened to the video about how to cut your own hair? That was the funniest video i have seen and always made me laugh
Why do you prefer the old style glass over the new?
Manchester, UK next please ? 🤞🙌
11:42 arrrrggghhh!!! Daaarrrraaagghhh!!! Noooooo!!!
When trave to Europe clears up to near normal, I am coming back to Ireland and get me some pints.
Your drinking them a lot faster these days 😀
Guinness owes you a fat check.
Dude, if you ever come to Nova Scotia. Come to Clare N.S. Make a video and drink some canned guinnesss 😎

Rookie move spilling a pint 🙈😆
anytime your up round the north west franks in Limavady do a mean guninness really small old style pub 2
I don't even drink Guinness. I hate dark beer. These videos are bloody class
It's stout not beer
How Mother Macs wasn't visited is a dying shame
JJ Bowles is the best pint of Guinness I've ever had anywhere
Hurlers, Castletroy
Limerick has great pubs
I always call the first pint the disabeer, cause she goes that quick
Do Killarney
yup yup
I was thinking JJ Bowes might have even reached a 9, but 8.8 is fair and very good.
Have you got a league table going somewhere? Just fun to keep tabs on scores and what cities are best 👍🏼

Up the munster guinness. 👏👏
My top 5.
5: Paul Flannerys
4: Charlie Malones
3: Tom Collins
2: Patsy Flannerys
1: Mother Macs
Patsy was hard done by, I thought. A sensational pint, far superior to Myles' and Jerry's, who scored the same and barely below.
Souths FTW
Rate guiness glasses what's your favourite
Do Wexford
Wexford is a great shout! Some of the best pints of Guinness I've ever had were in Jim McGee's. Sinnott's bar is also very good.👍
Do the best pint of Guinness in Wexford
Keep battering away at them beautiful pints , everywhere
you sir, are a fucking legend!
Come to Westport. Johnny Morans, Blousers and Tobys! Best pints in town.
Castlebar has a a few good pubs too👌
I want your job!
Yurt
Charlie malones hands down best pint in Limerick
