Absolute First Pint In Dublin

For those of you from Ireland or not, where should I have my first ever pint of Guinness when I go to Dublin? What pub has the best poured and best tasting proper pint? What place will absolutely blow my mind?

I've only ever had Guinness from local Irish bars in southern California or from draught cans (with and without nitrosurge device).

Let's hear it, thoughts? I hope i don't start a war ! Lol

Best Guinness on Peninsula/Caltrain route

Wild Rover in Redwood City recently opened wins that they have out for seating and food (plus family friendly).

Downtown San Mateo has Oneills plus McGoverns (both solid pours)

Looking for additions to the list for professional purposes.

A moment of silence for my wallet please

9 months of casual pints of Guinness during pub visits are this expensive apparently 😂

Not sure if I should be impressed or depressed.

Anyone else track their spending on pints?

Need some kegerator advice

I got home from Ireland recently and cans are cutting it, I'm dreaming of a kegerator, either built or bought.

For the folks that have one and put Guinness in it, how long are you keeping your kegs going before noticing a change in beer quality? I would functionally be drinking by myself, so it'd take a few months to kill each keg, and I don't want to waste any letting it get stale or something in the keg

Liquid filled bar sign

Hi! I picked up this grail of a sign yesterday at a flea market and she obviously needs a little love. Does anyone have any information on this piece that could help with restoration. I haven't been able to find any info online. Here are some details about the sign:

-It's just under half filled with a black liquid, I'm guessing some sort of glycerin dyed black. The housing does leak a little, should be easily fixed with some silicone or a new gasket (I'm not sure what's in the inside yet). Does anyone know where this sign should be filled to, half, 3/4, I doubt full?

-On the back there are two knobs that adjust airflow and two power switches. One turns on the pump that moves and aerates the liquid, the other switch does nothing that I tell. Possibly a light?

-when turned on, the liquid in the face of the sign is aerated and a foam 'head" is created. After about a minute or so the liquid in the face drains out (pumped to the back), then the sign refills again.

-on top of the sign is a little knob that can be rotated and pulled out but not completely removed. I'm guessing that this is either a vent for the glycerin (I work with a lot of pressure gauges, filled ones usually have a little vent on top), or possibly a way to empty out the liquid.

- the back of the housing is screwed to the front with a number of screws. There are no info stickers on the housing, she has definitely spent some time in a garage lol.

I only paid $25 for this so I'm thinking about just sending it and popping off the back to see what's going on in there. But I appreciate if anyone has any info on this sign or if they have seen it out in the wild info on how it's supposed to look/run.

Thanksss

Last pub night before we head home from Ireland

At a pub in Howth tonight winding down before we head back to the US early tomorrow morning, enjoying a perfect creamy pint by a fire. I'll miss Ireland more than I ever thought I might, due in no small part to the availability of these perfect, creamy pints
