Dublin has opened a hidden bar where you can drink Guinness with a special twist.

Located on the fourth floor of The Guinness Storehouse, a hidden bar has been set up next door to the famous STOUTie experience, allowing visitors to enjoy a pint of the black stuff with their own face on it.

Colm O’Connor, beer expert at the Storehouse, explained what makes this experience so special: "We call it Snug Nollaig and ‘Nollaig’ is the Irish word for Christmas. It’s cosy, inviting and representative of what Irish pubs are all about.

"It’s a hidden gem - somewhere where you can sit away from the hoards and have a nice conversation with your friends."

You can continue the festive fun across seven floors, including a highlight for many - the famous Gravity Bar, with panoramic 360⁰ views of Dublin city.

With Christmas just around the corner, Colm shared some tips for enjoying a Guinness during the holidays and pointed out two common mistakes people make.

"Number one would be not waiting for those 300 million bubbles to settle," he explained.

"People might drink it mid-flow and you’re short changing yourself because you are going to be tasting those nitrated bubbles which in terms of flavour are to be avoided.

"Mistake number two that we might see from time to time is that people are not taking a big mouthful. It’s very important to get past the white part and into the dark body of the beer. The white part is not where the flavour is.

"To access that, you’re going to have to leave that trace of white on your upper lip in the form of a fetching moustache and have those core flavours where they should be - down the hatch!"

Colm also weighed in on the Guinness challenge, and issued a warning to people who try to 'split the G'.

"You’ve got to drink our beer responsibly. Enjoy it in moderation. Drinking and enjoying Guinness should not be a competition. It’s there for everybody to enjoy. Enjoy it at your own pace but certainly take a big mouthful!"

The Guinness Storehouse’s Christmas Experience runs until January 5. For more information or to book exclusive tours and experiences, click here to buy tickets.
