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.

my main issue with Messrs is that they brew their own beer and then barely make it available. They are more concerned with churning pints out as quickly as possible.

There's a lot more pubs than those two that do decent beers in Dublin - there's more than you'd think that have craft beers/ ales/ stouts on draft or in bottles.

Yo, beer nerds, going to a game isn't about enjoying a drink. its about doing what you can to numb the inevitable heart break ahead

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.

If you don't want to have books shipped from the US this link would be more useful. Free shipping on orders over €25 when buying directly from Amazon, or items sold by third party sellers and fulfilled by Amazon too.

Eh... Whilst some of the brews in the Porterhouse are indeed tasty, every single one of their bars feels like it has had its atmosphere sucked out of it by a Dyson. Horrible places. Eugh.

There's some great beers available all over the city and in fact it's easy as pie to pick up certain Irish and foreign craft beers in real pubs now.

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.

Its all about the share value!

Tesco in Letterkenny stopped selling the Tesco Value Lager. A disappointing day.

**redarmyfaction** · 08/02/2013, 6:19 PM

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.
