The Irish nation needs to be introduced to taste. Diageo have reuined everything. Go to Germany or Belgium if decent tasting beer is wanted. The only place in Dublin with flavour in their beer is The Porterhouse. Mssr Maguires is quite bland like Diageo products.Quote:

Cheap and passable is what we're looking for
There's a Porterhouse in Bray too for those inclined, it's not far from the Carlisle Grounds.
One in Cork as well now, part of the Mardyke complex on Sheares street.Quote:

As craft pubs go you can't really beat the Brew Dock (formerly Kate's Cottage) at the back of Busáras on Store St/Amiens St junction. The same crowd run Black Sheep and Against the Grain. Not a fan of either of them though.

Mulligan's in Stoneybatter has a great selection too but full of tossers.
It's beside Tommy O'Garas though and there's no competition as to what the better bar is. I would never pass O'Garas if open.
Fair point! Really good books though.Quote:

Porterhouse north is handy for Dayler, Witherspoons for yuppies, no cheap yet decent cask ale.
Try the Witherspoons in the Diamond for trips to Derry, one on the Strand Road too.
Any good places to eat and drink near Thomond.
Ardhù Bar on the Ennis road (10 min walk from Thomond park). Decent food and a massive beer garden. Fitzpatricks is closer but not sure the food situation as I've never drank in there. Other than that the will be a bar and hot food inside the stadium.Quote:
