Brit tries Guinness in Dublin and points out one 'sad and depressing' detail

A YouTuber popular for exploring different pubs in the UK and abroad made a strong claim about boozing in Ireland during one of his regular Guinness-inspired trips across the channel. Danny, the face of Honest Places, has visited various counties on the island, but one of his videos was titled 'the SAD reality of DRINKING in Ireland.' He made the intriguing observation after sinking pints of Guinness in various pubs in Dublin. Sipping a pint of the black stuff, he shared: “The only annoying thing about Ireland is, which is sad and depressing, is when you get home and you want a Guinness, it is just nothing comparable. “I feel like I need to stop drinking Guinness when I get home because it is like a completely different pint.” He said you can enjoy Guinness in the UK for “what it is” but he noted that the Irish ones were much creamier. Danny, not willing to drop the matter, continued: “It is ridiculous. It is basically like having a Stella, and you switch to a Peroni, and that is what the difference is taste wise. And that is literally just Guinness to Guinness in the UK to Ireland.

It is only 30 quid a flight.” He then cheered himself up by going to what some consider to be Dublin’s best bar, John Kavanagh The Gravediggers, where he was promised the “best pint of Guinness in the world”. Danny was impressed by the pint but hours earlier he slammed the “ridiculous” cost of Guinness in The Temple Bar Pub in the city centre. He had been there before, so the prices were no surprise, but his friend, who said he was “skint”, wanted to experience the tourist hotspot.

That’s what, £8.80 a pint?” But the cost for two pints of Guinness may seem cheap when you consider how his most recent visit to Dublin went. After exploring highly regarded pubs like The Confession Box and Mulligan’s, he concluded that the best pint of Guinness in the city was at the Guinness Storehouse, one of the most popular tourist attractions. However, speaking about the downside to the “10/10” pint, he said: “If you want to come here, because you should come here if you like Guinness, but the best Guinness you can get is at the Storehouse. But you have to pay €40, you can’t just go there for a pint unfortunately. “I don’t think you can because if you could, everyone would go in there and it would be slammed – so that’s the best pint of Guinness.” You can watch Danny's video in full where he visits Dublin pubs here
