Just to tune in something about that guinness storehouse. Gravity bar is a sickening experience. Fucking tourists taking 1 mouthful of a pint, then barmen having to chuck them away. Broke my heart seeing it. They should just give the person an option ffs. You want a half pint, small glass of it or a coke. An absolute waste of a good pint.
Storehouse a good experience though, bar of course being too packed.
Actually not too bad now Iâve had breakfast.
Iâm in Shoal Bay, 2 hours north of me, on my all conquering Wyoming Football Club O45âs team weekend away.
16 men in their 50âs sharing a large house for the weekend.
Drink was taken last night.
I went to the Teeling distillery on an in laws day out a few months back. Father-in-law, three brothers in law and myself. We were the only Irish people there. And of course when it came to the tasting part at the end, the paddys had four whiskeys and the tourists had two max.
Feckin drinking straight whiskey at 1:30 in the day - I couldnât finish some of them. Headed to Peadar Browneâs afterwards and washed them down with a few pints of Guinness and I was back in my safe zone again.
An interesting place. A bride arrived in with her Da for a drink and the two of them sat at the bar - her in her wedding dress. No rush on them. I went up to get a round and she started chatting away. She was getting married later in the church beside Shanhans on Stephenâs Green so âitâs grandâ. When I arrived home later on the missus says âI heard you were getting chatted up by a lady in a wedding dressâ. Bad fuckers.
