I actually think this is the best video so far on your channel, and I've watched all of them, many multiple times. The bit at the end with different pubs was brilliant, and could legit be used by someone like Failte Ireland.
Enjoying the new content mate. Didn’t just watch you just for the Guinness stuff as you always seemed like a sound lad with decent crack - which is why I will continue to watch your videos. You took a risk and ventured off the beaten path to go in a new direction, but it was the right choice since you said you weren’t happy doing what you were doing. You’re definitely a natural at this and will go from strength to strength - looking forward to see where the channel goes!
what I did earlier this month when I visited Dublin: get your pics in front of the Temple Bar just so people know you went there, then have your pint of Guinness at the Palace Bar a few metres east at 6.90
I lived in Dublin for five years and totally agree with this advice. Good to experience Temple Bar as a tourist but go see the more authentic parts. Was back in those three recommended pubs on my visit earlier this month. Keep up the good work.
Maybe a cool video idea would be to show tourists coming to Dublin your favourite pubs where you can really party / have a great time. Dont get me wrong, I totally understand any criticism of the Temple Bar, but when I fly to Dublin with three mates and we arrive at lunchtime we want to have a great time :D. Having a few pints in Mulligans or Bowes is certainly on the agenda, but in pubs without music and with an older crowd, the fun factor takes a back seat. That's why I love the Dublin live music scene, the trad music scene in particular. But especially in the early afternoons the Temple Bar is almost without alternative for us.
@@benmcmullan718 Above all, he tells us where to get a good pint of Guinness. Not necessarily where there is good live music etc or where he would go not only for good Guinness but also for a "party atmosphere", which I find would be a great video idea.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Thanks for giving head to head prices… I am going to Ireland for 87 days!!! I will skip the Temple bar and support the other Pubs being fair to their Patrons…
I have to say I was skeptical about how successful the new style of content would be. But it's such a refreshing change, like the shackles have been removed and you have a new lease of life. Keep up the good work!!
I went in here last year for the craic, asked for a Beamish and the head on the thing extended down beyond the logo, I was shocked and appalled. Obviously they know the vast majority of their clientele are foreign and either don't know or don't want to complain about the standard
Went 3 years ago and it was expensive. Then I went in May and I couldn’t believe the price. I had the classic Guinness then the partner had a gunpowder gin and lemonade and it came to €21. I’ve kept the receipt to remind me of the heartache
Hey Daragh, I’m a travel consultant in Niagara Falls Canada and we have some proud Guinness pubs here. Come out for a trip it would make for some awesome videos, it’s a ton of fun here. I could build the itinerary for you here in Niagara and Toronto.
We went in last week. We knew it was expensive and walked past a few times on previous nights. Decided to go in because it looked a good atmosphere. Wasn't disappointed, good band on, everyone joining in, very busy. We stayed for 2 drinks. Expensive but a must do if visiting Dublin.
Damn... we must have missed the Guru. We went to Bowes and Mulligans on my birthday on 20th of July. We are from Germany and knew becouse of the videos from Daragh, that these are the spots for the creamiest of the Black Stoff. ;) Loved it. Thants for that Daragh. Wish I could be back there. Love Ireland.
I was a regular visitor to Dublin before covid. I only visited the Temple Bar pub once on my first visit, and I never went back. I found pubs further away from the temple bar where slightly cheaper
Well said. It's about time the whole street on Temple bar was shamed. Dublin used to be a fantastic place for a pint. But I'll be honest, the prices are getting stupid now. I actually prefer Belfast now. Less tourism, cheaper and the Guinness is just as good.
As a Diageo investor, I don't mind 😄 As an Englishman in a relationship with a Dubliner, I understand the tourist trap, but I still tend to frequent the area because it's a good laugh, love the live music, always great atmosphere, rarely have more than 3+ drinks though because of the expense. Can understand people getting upset with prices. But if you're made aware before hand, it's not so much of a shock. I really enjoy O'Neills by Molly Malone statue. Best Guinness served in there, downstairs bar.
Another banger video. Was in Dublin in April and walked all over Temple Bar area and never went into the Temple Bar pub. The Palace was amazing. Bowe’s was classic. The Stag’s Head was phenomenal. You go the the TB pub to party w other tourists and that’s it. You want something of a real Irish experience, go to the other pubs.
I get it. It's like going to New Orleans and just doing Bourbon Street. The locals wouldn't be caught dead, but if you're a tourist, you aren't going to miss it.
I used to work in bars in the busy 1990's. Even back then I knew all this was coming to a close. The bars were rammed, people were spending a fortune, getting wasted, there was a loud band playing, and the bar was always 3-4 rows deep. I used to look around and think "A generation is going to come along who won't put up with this". That generation is now. Remember, our wages were a lot less, so even €4 a drink was very expensive. Its never been cheap to go drinking.
I'm from Leitrim and I'd definitely recommend a visit , a night or 2 in Temple Bar . Mighty spot . Great music, friendly people and lovely old style pubs. Only downside is the price of drink but upside of that is u dont drink so much.
NINE QUID, my god. Thankfully I only looked at this pub from the outside and, thanks to your previous videos, didn't bother getting a pint from here. Loved the video lad.
I’ve only been to Dublin twice, I like the temple bar area as it’s got a great atmosphere, but I’ve never been tempted to go into the actual bar. There’s so many other good bars with live music and good Guinness.
Just visited Dublin, kept running into a place called The Bankers at the edge of the Temple Bar area. Had some tourists like myself and some locals too. Pint was 6,40, I think. The Bankers was nicely busy, not too crowded but far from dead too, good craic!
I took a nice photo of the temple bar pub, but had my touristy jars in Darkey Kelly's, they had nice music in there and a decent pint, it was busy. The Christ church nearby was a nice bit of culture to visit. I enjoyed my working trip to Dublin❤
An excellent video. Just back from Dublin the day this was uploaded after being inspired to finally visit after watching your channel. Beautiful city and pub culture! Agree with The Temple Bar but one of the only places where the Guinness is flowing at 12:00PM mid week, a guaranteed seat with live music. Ended with a trip to The Gravediggers and a chat over a pint with Ciaran Kavanagh. A must visit for any Guinness drinker.
I recently went to Dublin and went to the Temple Bar Pub just to say that I'd been there. However, at 9.50 euros a pint, it was one and done. Temple Bar is a tourist trap. I did enjoy my time in Dublin though and the Guinness was amazing.
Love Dublin but this year we were priced out visiting due to the price of the hotels, we went to Belfast instead fantastic City but the Guinness was better in Dublin! Loads of better pubs than the temple bar tho!!
Aye, I started doing Belfast in 2016. Much cheaper and wider availability of Airbnbs. The "no trackkies" policy of some pubs was an absolute ballache though.
Its videos like this that help us tourists save the money we work so hard to earn. 8 euro 95 for a pint is silly money. I would say they are taking advantage, especially with it being so busy there.
So you buy a €9 pint of Guinness owned by a British company, served by a Brazilian barmaid, with what looks like a bar without a single Irish person in there...what a sad tourist trap.
Temple Bar is where I used to go in my 20s I remember in 1995 it was £2.45 for the the bottles of beer(330ml) in Buskers, and Guinness was a little cheaper. Oh, and Temple Bar area gets its name from Temple Barre, and old French word for market or gathering place. And the pub named itself after the area.
Can you make a video in Waterford and try and find out what makes a Blaa different to any other bread roll? This baffles me but you are the man to uncover the truth
Been there - didn't enjoy that area for going to the pubs there. Toner's and The Liberty Belle were my favorite spots that I had the enjoyment of drinking at!
Hey Darragh,my memories of The Temple Bar pub in Temple Bar was of the regular price hikes over the evening. So say 8 Euro in the afternoon, 9 Euro after 5pm, 11 Euro after 7 pm and who knows after that. ypor review did not account for the time of day. Maybe you should revisit on a Saturday at different times of the evening.
This is 100% why The Temple Bar (The pub not the place) is always rammed full of tourists but with no locals. I live in London but have an Irish family & when they come here they don’t give a shit about going to central London & paying £8 a pint whereas they’d never do the same in central Dublin. I guess people’s attitudes are just different when they’re on holiday.
I think big groups of tourists struggle to get into many of the late night spots outside of temple bar area. A lot of British tourists see it as a strip like on spanish resorts.
Temple Bar area has been like that for 20 years. The best place in temple bar was (maybe still there) is a sit in kebab place in the area. And up behind the central bank there was a quality wee pub called The Foggy Dew. Been a long time.
You see on Facebook people put up picture of a receipt from temple bar especially later on in the night and the price is shocking. It's about time that place was named and shamed, it's ridiculous how bad it Is.
Respect for this video .Im a Dubliner and I can tell you Temple bar is a horrible tourist trap . Very expensive and also it's about 15 years out of date by comparison to the rest of Dublin . South William street is the mecca in my opinion .
Hey Daragh, like this style of vid that you've done. As for the daft bint who likes getting ripped off, I've got a few Orion video players in the loft for sale 😂. Worked over in Dubs during the mid to late 90s, and all the Irish lads told me to avoid Temple Bar as it's overhyped and pricey. Looks like things don't change much. Plenty of suckers ready to part with their readies.
Didn’t go there myself, what I can say is that a pint of Guinness is around €6 -€8 everywhere else in around temple bar I went unless I was out the city centre it went to €5.50 I have also realised for myself personally. That a pint can vary in quality not by much when you find a decent place pouring it regularly. But it definitely for me can vary a little. I went Bowes which was great but my favourite place for a Guinness was the old storehouse.
From Dublins Liberties the last time I drank there and the area was 35yrs ago. I wouldn't be found dead in it. They're only short of charging you for a piss. Give me Noctors any time.
I would say yes it is worth going to as a tourist but don't spend your whole holiday there. If coming to Dublin for a weekend i would say set aside alot of money to spend 1 night in temple bar and then the other 2 nights in pubs slightly outside temple bar for alot cheaper. look at the atmosphere in the temple bar pub darragh first went into early afternoon, and then contrast it with mulligans which was pretty dead. No one wants to travel half way round the world to sit in mulligans when they can have a busy pub somewhere in temple bar. It is what it is.
I reckon the cheaper pint is cheaper due to no live music no tv and maybe lower rates. The Temple Bar has music to pay for not sure on live TV and probably higher rates. Love the content keep it up. I for one wont go into The Temple Bar for the fact its too touristy for me i like to visit real Dublin/Ireland
I really enjoyed the Guinness factory tour when i was there last year. And the Arlington night. Penny's is great fun. The main thing is staff in Dublin's shops bars cafes and hotels are fecken lovely people. What about that Alan and his staff at rhe stage door café? Lovely people. XX
Advise to tourists. Going into the centre of Dublin is going to the least authentic place in Ireland. Its just a rip off zone, and you will probably be just there with tourists and pickpockets. I would not recommend walking around that area at night. Get out of Dublin, go to smaller towns and villages, 100 million times more authentic.
My Lad & I went to The Temple Bar a couple of weeks ago. He said he won’t be going to this bar again because he was offered Drugs by an Eastern European ‘doorman look-a-like’ on the way in to the Gents, while in the Gents AGAIN & the geezer who offered it to him on the way in to the Gents, offered Drugs to him AGAIN on his way out!!! So we supped up & went to Mulligans instead. TOURISTS:- DO NOT GO THERE AFTER 9pm as the drinks prices automatically increase to €12 for a Guinness. Slainte.
TIP ..when in Templebar take your photos in it then walk straight out of it as it is a rip off ..plenty of Pubs selling cheaper drinks all over Dublin and that advice is from a local.
So right Daragh , I hated Temple bar area . Rip off and zero Irish in area . We went to your recommended pubs , and had a BRILLIANT time. Our parents our Irish born , so wanted more authentic experience ❤
Good to see you happy and energised Daragh, the content has been very fresh and exciting to watch. Keep up the good work!
I actually think this is the best video so far on your channel, and I've watched all of them, many multiple times. The bit at the end with different pubs was brilliant, and could legit be used by someone like Failte Ireland.

Much nicer pub aswell
Everyone coming to Dublin for the first time should watch this. Perfect insight!

Come to Belfast and u can pay 10 quid for a pint
@Yourballix who wants to drink in Belfast it's a kip
Maybe a cool video idea would be to show tourists coming to Dublin your favourite pubs where you can really party / have a great time.

That's why I love the Dublin live music scene, the trad music scene in particular. But especially in the early afternoons the Temple Bar is almost without alternative for us.
Mulligans is good as a starter pub then move on the temple bar
Thats literally his whole channel. He's telling you where is good to go.
@@benmcmullan718 Above all, he tells us where to get a good pint of Guinness. Not necessarily where there is good live music etc or where he would go not only for good Guinness but also for a "party atmosphere", which I find would be a great video idea.
Was in Mulligan's a few weeks ago. One of the best pints of Guinness I've ever had. Well worth the 6.20
Mulligans in Manchester?My hometown used to go in regularly over da years but now live in Castlebar County Mayo….God I miss Manchester
@@jayd1974 no, Mulligan's in the video
Should be £2 00 a pint. Ripping off bstards.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Thanks for giving head to head prices… I am going to Ireland for 87 days!!! I will skip the Temple bar and support the other Pubs being fair to their Patrons…
I have to say I was skeptical about how successful the new style of content would be. But it's such a refreshing change, like the shackles have been removed and you have a new lease of life. Keep up the good work!!
Couldn’t be more right
Bowes and Walsh's are two of the great, great pubs
9 euros is just taking the piss isn't it. Will obviously avoid.
I went in here last year for the craic, asked for a Beamish and the head on the thing extended down beyond the logo, I was shocked and appalled. Obviously they know the vast majority of their clientele are foreign and either don't know or don't want to complain about the standard

The absolute state of that pint. I'm no Guinness snob by any means but for nearly 9 quid I'd expect the pint to look alot better than that scandalous
We walked through the temple bar area 2 weeks ago. Paid 7 euro for a pint in other parts of town. Cheapest I paid was 5.30 in Ballinasloe
NINE QUID, my god. Thankfully I only looked at this pub from the outside and, thanks to your previous videos, didn't bother getting a pint from here. Loved the video lad.
Videography and editing is so much better now! Was badly needed
The Palace, the Porter house and Bowes are decent pubs within temple bar.
love these honest reviews! more people need to be like this instead of trying to find the good
I’ve only been to Dublin twice, I like the temple bar area as it’s got a great atmosphere, but I’ve never been tempted to go into the actual bar. There’s so many other good bars with live music and good Guinness.
I really enjoyed the format to this video, definitely something I look forward to in other videos!
Great video. Can't wait to get back to Ireland in October.
love this new content matey- Its so interesting to see the ins and out of Ireland, great stuff Daragh!
Great videos, dude. Well moderated and excellently edited...
Doyles on college street has a good pint of Guinness
Just visited Dublin, kept running into a place called The Bankers at the edge of the Temple Bar area. Had some tourists like myself and some locals too. Pint was 6,40, I think. The Bankers was nicely busy, not too crowded but far from dead too, good craic!
I haven't been able to drink Stout since a bad hangover in 2016. Your channel is making me want to drink Guinness again.
The new content is working so well for you glad to see you so hyped
It's mad the price of a pint is almost €9 in the south.
Here in the north you're paying £4 - 5.50 max
Spot on Daragh, we come to Dublin every two years, soak up the atmosphere in Temple bar area then drink in Bowes.
I took a nice photo of the temple bar pub, but had my touristy jars in Darkey Kelly's, they had nice music in there and a decent pint, it was busy. The Christ church nearby was a nice bit of culture to visit. I enjoyed my working trip to Dublin❤

Aye, I started doing Belfast in 2016. Much cheaper and wider availability of Airbnbs. The "no trackkies" policy of some pubs was an absolute ballache though.
Price of a pint is shocking anywhere in Dublin. I paid €6.80 for a pint of Coors yesterday ffs
I loved the Palace bar.
Its videos like this that help us tourists save the money we work so hard to earn. 8 euro 95 for a pint is silly money. I would say they are taking advantage, especially with it being so busy there.
Fab content! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
So you buy a €9 pint of Guinness owned by a British company, served by a Brazilian barmaid, with what looks like a bar without a single Irish person in there...what a sad tourist trap.

Oh, and Temple Bar area gets its name from Temple Barre, and old French word for market or gathering place. And the pub named itself after the area.
I actually went last Saturday night, it was rammed, we waited 10 mins to be served and got one of the worst pints of guinness I've ever seen for €9
enjoying these new style vids Daragh, fair play mate
What about that Arlington hotel just over the halfpenny bridge? We had a great night in there.
Can you make a video in Waterford and try and find out what makes a Blaa different to any other bread roll? This baffles me but you are the man to uncover the truth
Fair play to Noel he's working there and don't touch alcohol. Nice guy
Been there - didn't enjoy that area for going to the pubs there. Toner's and The Liberty Belle were my favorite spots that I had the enjoyment of drinking at!
How to order a pint of Guinness? Just say a pint? Guinness? What do
Hey Darragh,my memories of The Temple Bar pub in Temple Bar was of the regular price hikes over the evening. So say 8 Euro in the afternoon, 9 Euro after 5pm, 11 Euro after 7 pm and who knows after that. ypor review did not account for the time of day.

I guess people’s attitudes are just different when they’re on holiday.
i would say this it might not be the best guinness in dublin but it alot better than what we get in england
Around Dingle I payed €5-5.50 for a pint of guiness. Only the Irish coffee somewhere at the ring of Kerry got me, I payed €7.5 for it lol
Oh Carol! You're selling trinkets to tourists too! 🙂
Guiness in Bowes is way better and cheaper at 5.90.👍
I think big groups of tourists struggle to get into many of the late night spots outside of temple bar area.
A lot of British tourists see it as a strip like on spanish resorts.
9 quid is a fair shout...as long as you get a free telly with it...UTFT:)
Temple Bar area has been like that for 20 years. The best place in temple bar was (maybe still there) is a sit in kebab place in the area. And up behind the central bank there was a quality wee pub called The Foggy Dew. Been a long time.
Worth walking through, there's some good live music spots but vastly better and cheaper pubs and restaurants within walking distance.
This is the pub where my friend, an American tourist, was robbed of her handbag and camera
You see on Facebook people put up picture of a receipt from temple bar especially later on in the night and the price is shocking. It's about time that place was named and shamed, it's ridiculous how bad it Is.
Respect for this video .Im a Dubliner and I can tell you Temple bar is a horrible tourist trap . Very expensive and also it's about 15 years out of date by comparison to the rest of Dublin . South William street is the mecca in my opinion .
Over the summer was in Doyle’s pub and spent €7.10 on a pint of Heineken
So you had to pay the camera man, and he couldn't focus the camera?
When I visit family in Dublin don't go out drinking, far too expensive. Good video Daragh.
4:23 the irony of this statement is palpable 😂😂😂😅
Temple is such a fun place for a night. Definitely worth it as a "tourist."
totally agree
Hey Daragh, like this style of vid that you've done. As for the daft bint who likes getting ripped off, I've got a few Orion video players in the loft for sale 😂. Worked over in Dubs during the mid to late 90s, and all the Irish lads told me to avoid Temple Bar as it's overhyped and pricey. Looks like things don't change much. Plenty of suckers ready to part with their readies.

I went Bowes which was great but my favourite place for a Guinness was the old storehouse.
Didn’t bother my first trip to Ireland. Walked right past it my second trip and went to Bowes and Mulligans!
i got a few pints in the temple bar few years ago they were feckin lovely
Good man I think it’s a good idea to review the bars, review the crowd? Review the bacon and cabbage all the very best.
From Dublins Liberties the last time I drank there and the area was 35yrs ago. I wouldn't be found dead in it. They're only short of charging you for a piss. Give me Noctors any time.
I would say yes it is worth going to as a tourist but don't spend your whole holiday there. If coming to Dublin for a weekend i would say set aside alot of money to spend 1 night in temple bar and then the other 2 nights in pubs slightly outside temple bar for alot cheaper.

Why is there a fishing tackle shop in the middle of a busy rourist area? I chuckle everytime i see it.
Really loved this style of video!
I reckon the cheaper pint is cheaper due to no live music no tv and maybe lower rates. The Temple Bar has music to pay for not sure on live TV and probably higher rates. Love the content keep it up. I for one wont go into The Temple Bar for the fact its too touristy for me i like to visit real Dublin/Ireland
I really enjoyed the Guinness factory tour when i was there last year. And the Arlington night. Penny's is great fun. The main thing is staff in Dublin's shops bars cafes and hotels are fecken lovely people. What about that Alan and his staff at rhe stage door café? Lovely people. XX
Go to the long hall,best pints of porter in Dublin.
Palace Bar is my favorite
Nice change of content seems much more refreshed.
Cheers enjoyed this one good tips for people coming into Dublin!
Advise to tourists. Going into the centre of Dublin is going to the least authentic place in Ireland. Its just a rip off zone, and you will probably be just there with tourists and pickpockets. I would not recommend walking around that area at night. Get out of Dublin, go to smaller towns and villages, 100 million times more authentic.
Only decent pub in around Temple Bar is The Palace bar, a great Tipp-pub.
My Lad & I went to The Temple Bar a couple of weeks ago. He said he won’t be going to this bar again because he was offered Drugs by an Eastern European ‘doorman look-a-like’ on the way in to the Gents, while in the Gents AGAIN & the geezer who offered it to him on the way in to the Gents, offered Drugs to him AGAIN on his way out!!!
So we supped up & went to Mulligans instead.
TOURISTS:-
DO NOT GO THERE AFTER 9pm as the drinks prices automatically increase to €12 for a Guinness.
Slainte.
TIP ..when in Templebar take your photos in it then walk straight out of it as it is a rip off ..plenty of Pubs selling cheaper drinks all over Dublin and that advice is from a local.
So right Daragh , I hated Temple bar area . Rip off and zero Irish in area . We went to your recommended pubs , and had a BRILLIANT time. Our parents our Irish born , so wanted more authentic experience ❤
The Hairy Lemon was my favourite place in Dublin for a Guinness
