Top 10 Beer Gardens To Get A Pint Of Guinness In Ireland

Top 10 Beer Gardens To Get A Pint Of Guinness In Ireland

We've put together a nifty list of ten of our favourite beer gardens across the country where you can enjoy a Guinness in the sun right now!

Ahh - shall we all breath a collective sigh of relief? It was looking a little touch and go there for a moment but… it seems like the powers that be have decided to bless us with a proper Irish summer after all?

Birds are singing, dry robes are soaked from bodies fresh out of sea water and, dare we say it, tá an ghrian ag scoilteadh na gcloch!

Of course, anyone who’s lived through their fair share of Irish summers knows that these sunny spells can be… well, fleeting to say the least. And with temperatures set to rise once again to 20 degrees this weekend, it’s absolutely crucial we seize the opportunity to get out into the sun with our nearest and dearest while we have it.

And what could be a better accoutrement to a sunny Irish evening that a fresh, creamy pint of Guinness? 

Picture this, you’ve stepped out for some summer fun in your local beer garden, shorts and shades are firmly on. A group of your friends are sitting around a barrel-shaped table and then, just adjacent, you spot a group of mates you haven’t seen in months. Best of all, on the table – a perfectly poured pint of Guinness, waiting to be savoured by you and your friends.

In fact, the taste of an cold pint of the black stuff fits so perfectly hand in hand with summer fun, we’ve even gone to the trouble of compiling a nifty list of ten of our favourite beer gardens across the country where you can enjoy a Guinness in the sun right now – yes, right this very moment!
