I'm Dutch, after visiting the Gravediggers in Dublin a couple of weeks ago I refuse to drink Guiness in the Netherlands. The difference in quality is borderline offensive.
The first one the Blarney stone has been there at least since 1980 when i lived near Amsterdam for awhile .The local Irish expats would meet up there .
I was in Mulligans last week and I thought the Guinness wasn't great. Lovely barman Sean though! Got a pint of Kilkenny after which was lovely! Would recommend the pub!
Really enjoyed this and some great tips, I’m a regular visitor to Waterford and Amsterdam, you won’t beat irelands Guinness but nice to know where the next best thing is
Great video and reviews. Molly Malones has always been the best pint for me in Amsterdam personally, the price was probably worth an extra 0.1 on the scores.
Unfortunately Guinness is one of those drinks where it’s consistency is hard to maintain it seems for a pub, I’ve had what I’d argue the best pints of my life in the same place where I have left after 1 because I was so let down.. temperature, glass cleaning, everything has to fall in line.
I knew Dan Murphy's wouldn't disappoint. It's a favourite any time I'm in Amsterdam for a gig at the Melkweg or Paradiso, being very well positioned for both.
I always head to Slainte first when I go to Amsterdam. I was there November last year and got speaking to a lad from Dublin about the channel. He asked my opinion on the Guinness but clearly couldn't take an English lads recommendations so decided not to bother! Gave me a few tips for when I was in Dublin the week after though
😂 got caught in the Dam I did, went to some Italian restaurant and ordered a pint of Guinness with the meal, i thought for a sec I heard that familiar sound of a can opening 😮 I was right, the feckin charged me 8€ for a can of tepid Guinness, the absolute neck of them. Could have bought 4 COLD cans at home for that 😂I had to laugh though because others may never know the difference and think the black stuff really tastes like that when it absolutely does not. Never again. Stick to the puff when in the Dam 😂😂
25 years ago when I worked pubs when i was a student, i used to put a logo in the Guinness pints - I hang my head in shame these days every time I think about it 🥴
Mulligans is still the best pint of Guinness in Amsterdam, you must've gotten unlucky. They close up for Mondays and Tuesdays so if you were in there on a Wednesday afternoon that might have been the problem. Sean has been working there for close to 30 years! O'Reilly's is great for food and a pint, but its more of a sports bar. Great spot nevertheless. You were right about Dan Murphy's, it's a bit further south than the other places. You wouldn't really be down there unless you're going to see a gig in the melkweg or paradiso. Staff is nice though, Carlo and Dara. Wouldn't go to Molly Malones myself and the Blarney Stone is a bit of a dive with the homeless people smoking dope outside
Guru... you do know that the Irish Pub abroad is the international meeting place. Better than the UN in NYC. So expect a varied menu. I've had TACOs at an Irish Pub abroad. Now... An English Breakfast in an Irish pub has old political row built in. Brits Out and all... But it doesn't surprise me. Especially considering the English Breakfast is pretty standard and easy to reproduce. Not like the Irish Breakfast that requires the black and the white.
Try Utrecht next time .Cheaper than Amsterdam and only 30 min by train .Cleaner and more friendly than Amsterdam i would say .It also has canals and biccyes .
As a half Irish, half Dutch person, who's spent a lot of time in both countries, don't drink Guinness in the Netherlands. It'll only be a disappointment. Keep the Guinness for Ireland.
Most bar/ restaurants in Ireland wash the crockery in a kitchen . Glassware washed in the bar. The biggest reason for poor pints in bar/restaurants is that good Comes firstly . Pints are always second fiddle.
Haven't read all the comments so this may have already been mentioned but wondering if the sweetness in that pint could be due to blackcurrant? Possible the glass wasn't washed properly...sorry I know that's not something you'd want to hear!!!
Did a brewery trip and pub crawl there years ago with my Rugby team. May not be the greatest Guiness in the world but it's a great day or two out on the lash?
As a proud resident of Amsterdam i do have to say i've never gotten pints poured that poorly in any of the pubs you've been to (ive also visited all of them). Kinda feels you were unlucky this time or something...
Sometimes Ryanair have reasonable flight prices to Amsterdam .Depends when you go .Accommodation is always very expensive there unless you bring a tent in Summer .
Only good Guinness I had at Amsterdam was Temple Bar. One of the better ones in the big cities of mainland Europe in fact. Excellent whisk(e)y selection too.
I love you Dara! I hate weed too! I'm an old school girl! 😉Much more drink screw the smoke.. LoL😄I respect what ever you do as a person but weed just ain't for me!
Me and my wife went to Amsterdam for our honeymoon and we went for a drink at this bar above a tattoo shop. The barman was smoking a cigarette behind the bar, when he made my wife's vodka and soda and switched his smoke to his other hand and dug his hand into the ice bin and put it in her glass. So gross and unhygienic
English breakfast for the win!!! Suck it down Tommy O'Padraig!!!!!! Jokes jokes, I'm Irish diaspora descended English anyway. I'd never call myself Irish, but I keep Ireland in my heart.
Yeah I was in Amsterdam a short while ago, I was dutybound to join the lads on the lash smoke-wise but I remember thinking "this city is beautiful, I just want to take it easy and stop all this madness and just enjoy the atmosphere and the culture and whatnot". I really wanted to visit Anne Frank's house and the Van Gogh place but sadly it wasn't on the agenda. Thankfully we only went to the red light district to see what it was about and we didn't mess around there, that's not my kind of thing for sure.

Thanks for including us in the video my good man! Proudly serving our pints in Molly Malone's at 6 euro.
Great pints, great price!
Love Molly's. See you in August.
I'm Dutch, after visiting the Gravediggers in Dublin a couple of weeks ago I refuse to drink Guiness in the Netherlands. The difference in quality is borderline offensive.
The reason most Dutchies really dislike Guinness tbh and never got into it in the first place. Which is a damn shame.
Gravediggers is the best pint in Dublin. Hands down
Give kehoes a try next time you’re in Dublin too for a Guinness 🇮🇪🇳🇱
@@djcheckmate1 Absolutely and the pub / atmosphere were brilliant as wel. We got to know so many lovely people in 2 days time, unbelievable.
@@feargallynch5208 Will put that on the list, thanks for the tip!! Much appreciated.

That bathroom has a whole new meaning to shower ,shit and a shave 🤣
The Pulp Fiction soundtrack is playing in the first pub 🎶
My favourite is a pentagram in the logo when I'm at a metal gig. always gets the thumbs up for me!
Dublin next month. 1st stop The Gravediggers. Can not wait
Brannigans Cathedral Street
Mulligans poolbeg st
Cheers lads, Bowes on the list as well.
If you’re English you will love the temple bar
You will not be disappointed. Was there back in November. Best Guinness I have ever had.
Also, go to Kehoes, great bar and pint.
Great video and reviews. Molly Malones has always been the best pint for me in Amsterdam personally, the price was probably worth an extra 0.1 on the scores.
Agreed!

I got a Guinness in Amsterdam last summer and they served it in an Amstel glass 😮
Thats a sin
At least you had Rush playing in the background at 14.00, decent music always helps the pints go down
Limelight.

I love this video haha going back to work! Hard life guru 😂
Gotta get to Cafe de oude schaeper in the westerpark area.
ps - awesome when Guru goes on tour in Europe even though if there is no decent Guinness to be found
Quality channel, big fella. What's the best pint you've had outside of Ireland?
When the hat suddenly comes off cos of the editing 😂.
Keep up the good work Daragh 💪🏻

Was in the Dam on a stag a few years back great city but didn’t chance any Guinness though
Best Guinness in amsterdam has to be at De Gouden Florijn, old style glasses too and the owner Nico is a legend too.
Try Utrecht next time .Cheaper than Amsterdam and only 30 min by train .Cleaner and more friendly than Amsterdam i would say .It also has canals and biccyes .
The Hoopman best Guinness in Amsterdam love from Ireland my son used do barman and the restaurant next door is excellent..
Do you ever drink Irish whiskey? Redbreast 12 or such?
the oregano kicking in at 18:23
Well, even the owners and staff of most of the other bars go to Mulligans for their Guinness and apart from you, everyone loves it !
As a half Irish, half Dutch person, who's spent a lot of time in both countries, don't drink Guinness in the Netherlands. It'll only be a disappointment. Keep the Guinness for Ireland.
I’m Irish/Dutch myself, and I’m drinking guinness everywhere and when I’m Ireland I drink beamish.
Do you mind going cities on your own? Wish I could, I’m gearing myself to go and sup in bars and get into it
He has somebody with him .I travel alone ,but then it helps that i am an introvert .
Most bar/ restaurants in Ireland wash the crockery in a kitchen . Glassware washed in the bar. The biggest reason for poor pints in bar/restaurants is that good Comes firstly . Pints are always second fiddle.
Massive credit to molly malones for a €6 pint. My local in D15 is 6.10.
You Sure that wasn't 0.0 in mulligans. The 0.0 has a blackcurrant sweetness off of it. It's a very consistent sweet taste.
Just thinking now, somebody should start up a red light district guru channel!
Haven't read all the comments so this may have already been mentioned but wondering if the sweetness in that pint could be due to blackcurrant? Possible the glass wasn't washed properly...sorry I know that's not something you'd want to hear!!!

Better title might be.. The least shite Guinness in Amsterdam
did you stay in Hotel Nadia by any chance?
Guru! Thought I saw ya in Dam but wasn't sure so left it! Missed a chance to meet the man himself!
How did ya manage to get to amsterdam, its so expensive for flights and accom at the moment
Sometimes Ryanair have reasonable flight prices to Amsterdam .Depends when you go .Accommodation is always very expensive there unless you bring a tent in Summer .
@@anthonydowling3356 booked flights and accom in september for 450 each me and the girlfriend going so not the worst
When are you coming to Leeds ?
He posted a Leeds vid about a month ago.

Finally!! A highly needed vid!
New Guru t-shirt logo idea......'Shtick to what you know'.
🤪
When the price of a pint of G is nearing minimum wage, you know we have some serious issues at hand
Shame you didn't go cafe van daele next door to O'Reilly's as it's the best pint of Guinness I had in Amsterdam
Mulligans for sure though. Well, normally? Too bad it wasn't it for you that day.

Come on be honest. Ye had a joint before mulligans lol!!!

Should of went to Slainte it’s the best for Guinness in the dam

Jokes jokes, I'm Irish diaspora descended English anyway. I'd never call myself Irish, but I keep Ireland in my heart.
Any chance he got a Guinness black from Mulligans?
Same O'Reilly's as Frankfurt.
Sounds like you got a Murphys instead of a Guinness in mulligans lol
Will he come to Sheffield England?
He went to Newcastle recently .
Pints of piSSSSSSSHHH

I just wish Europeans would invest in a functional shower.
Quite the interesting easter egg having the Pulp Fiction soundtrack play in the background at the first pub.

Blarney stone is a brilliant boozer.
It always looked like a kip but they seem to have done it up a bit .
They always wash the glass before serving in Amsterdam.

Atta boy, gotta schtick to whatcha know! 🍻 Sláinte
Sean washed the tap with the coke tap
You should do brussels. Pints of guinness 8.90 euro
He did recently .
Did the 2nd last pint have hash in it 🤭🤭🤭

Guinness does not travel, you either drink it in Ireland or not at all
Schlaunch it lads

Say Guinness be Guinness lol
Bit of coke in the drink
