@mirrorobjectsmusic47803 жыл бұрын
Bowe's was a breath of fresh air when I stayed in city centre seven years ago (I'm American). I had to ask around to figure out what pubs actually had real sessions as opposed to just solo acoustic artists playing "Wagon Wheel" and U2 over and over and someone suggested Bowe's. Excellent excellent pint, nice quiet vibes, good session players in the background enjoying themselves, and very good company who will include you in rounds. I'd definitely recommend for those visiting who like a great comfy pub but aren't into the obnoxious Temple Bar scene.

You mentioned Grogans as being up there in terms of legendary pubs. I was in there a couple of years ago and bought 3 pints. 2 from one tap and one from another. As we sat down to drink, two of us mentioned that our pints didn’t quite taste that great (from the same tap). The other pint from the other tap was perfect. We all swapped tastes and agreed. I brought the 2 pints back to the counter and explained the situation. The is literally what was said and happened (thought they might be interested if there was a bad keg). The bar tender, a “seasoned” one we’ll say, said nothing. He turned to the till, took the price of 2 pints out and handed to me….. he then said “now F*** off”. Clearly not that they care, but I or my friends, who are middled aged and well seasoned Guinness drinkers have never and will never darken its doors again. I was a bar tender for many years myself and have lived around the world and a honestly say I have never met such ignorance in my live.

There really is something magical about Guinness. I love beer, I'm big into my local craft brews... Guinness is obstensively and practically a mass market beer. But there is nothing like it. It truly is a class of its own. There are a few beers in the world that can say the same. I might nominate Czechvar in a similar category

I had the good fortune to visit Dublin on Saturday 20th May 2023 and had on my list to go to pubs were, Mulligans, Bowes, Tom Kennedys, Walsh's and the Gravediggers. The first tow weren't open, bummer, we had a tourist visit to the Guinness Storehouse, on the way TK's was shut at 12.20pm ! then went to Dudley's, not the greatest pint as was extra cold. No signs on the taps to prove this but I have been drinking Guinness for 52 years, and I know a pint of extra cold, not good. Then went to the Guinness Storehouse and the Guinness was better, but no schtick. Then went back into the Temple area and had some food then off to Bowes. WTF of a pint, the best by a country mile, exceptional. Finished the trip off to the Grave Diggers, very good, but on the day, Bowes inched it, 9.3 to 9.2 to the Grave Diggers.

Also, Frank Ryan’s Pub, Springfield, the owner was the one who told me about Gravediggers, I went to Gravediggers after I tour the Cemetery. By the way, Delaney’s near Cobblestone, very nice, good craic. Look for Sean & Stephen in the smoking area. ( an older Irish guy and a French man) I cannot name all the pubs I went to but about 12 over 40 days. In Killarney, Jack O’Briens. Donegal, The Reel Inn Bollybofey, McKelvey’s Bar Doolin, McGann’s Pub (tourist stop) Not so impressed in Galway and Sligo.
