I feel like I’m gonna need one of these. Pesky enablers.

The two I’m seeing on eBay are M and L but I think one is a 12 and one is a 13. I like the M better, whichever it is, because it has a tan lining as opposed to the black one in the L. The L also has a Harley patch sewn onto the chest
that I don’t feel like dealing with. I may pull the trigger on the M and flip it here if it doesn’t work. It’s priced pretty well so I think I’d make my money back without much trouble. Stay tuned all. -
I’m looking for some nice pub recommendations in Dublin. I lived and worked in Ireland for a year after university and have been back to visit several times but haven’t spent a ton of time in Dublin. This trip will only be 5 days and only 2 of those days will be in Dublin but I’m always on the lookout for a great pint of Guinness. I’ve spent some time at a pub called Kehoes which was great but love other recommendations that I may not find on internet. First hand information is better than a random internet site. Thanks in advance!

@deanclean the best pint of Guinness I have had in my life was in O’Donohue’s Bar near St Stephen’s Green. It was as creamy as a milkshake.
It’s a traditional music bar that has live music most nights.
We’ll worth a visit. -
Thanks @IrishHeart with a handle like that I have to trust you! I think our hotel is near there. We are staying at The Mont. thanks again, I’ll put it on the list!
-
@deanclean haha. I go over to Ireland every year as all my family are from there. A good pint of Guinness is very hard to beat.

maybe not what you're looking for exactly, but would recommend taking the "musical pub crawl" tour. It's hosted by a couple of musicians that take you to a few pubs, enough time in each to have a pint, they play music in a private room/area of the pub, while also teaching you about the music. Was a great time and you should have enough time to get a feel for a few of them and also ask their personal opinion of other ones.

@deanclean Not technically a pub, but they do serve beer - a retro arcade named Token. Crazy place, I loved the pinball area: https://www.tokendublin.ie/
I also spent lots of time at the 'Beer Market' a Galway Bay outlet. Closed now, unfortunately. Next best thing could be https://galwaybaybrewery.com/againstthegrain/
And if you have the time, travel a little outside: https://wicklowwolf.com/taproom/
At least try to catch their beers, they're awesome. -
@tody @pechelman @IrishHeart this is great stuff thank you. I had thought about one of the pub crawls but it will all depend on timing. We are in Dublin for 2 nights then Dingle for 3 nights. Love those ideas @tody that’s the stuff I wouldn’t normally see probably. I just love it over there. I’ve been maybe 6 times and have always had a blast. The people are the best. I’ve always met nice locals and someone always ready to have a pint.

What happened to all the proposed spring drops on the "new in" dropdown, ie, the 14 oz. white western? thank you.
-
@deanclean If you're headed to Dingle, you'll have no shortage of amazing music pubs to visit. We went to the few that always come up on the big "to-do lists", and maybe we caught them in between sets or something, but the best time we had was at a place that looked a little more modern/new that had seats right next to the musicians. Also, Foxy Johns i recall being a pretty unique place with being a hardware store by day and pub at night. Basically, follow your ears to find the best pub, which is easier in Dingle since it's much smaller than Dublin.
Also we had an amazing meal in Dingle at Out of the Blue. Make reservations and know that they wont open if the weather's bad because they rely on fresh seafood showing up afaik.
Our favorite pub of our last visit was in Wicklow at the Dying Cow.
-
Yes @pechelman i love Dingle. That’s where I worked after University. I lived there and worked for about 6 months so made my way to a few pubs. I had my favourites but even when I was just there with my wife a few years ago we went to places I had never been before. I think there is around 60 pubs with a population of under 2000 people or something crazy like that. I worked at “the Dingle Pub” needless to say I’m looking forward to my visit in May.

@indigostiff I don’t understand your question, I am afraid. Where are you referring to
-
-
@indigostiff I kinda get what you mean but I've never seen any of that stuff listed under New In on the site. BUT, the white western is listed on the estimated deliveries chart as far as I can tell:

Thank you all - these seem to be them - I just have no idea how you access / search them. That doesn’t matter, since they’re here now
