It’s every drinkers dream! The Baggot Inn, one of Dublin’s oldest pubs reopened last week after eight years offering the chance to pour your own pint of Guinness.The act of pouring a good Guinness has become an art-form and bartenders are specially trained by Guinness to pour the black stuff.
But now customers can sit around a table with six to eight friends and pour Guinness from a tab, the first time it has been done in the world. Bartenders have been trained to teach customers how to pour pints, while instructions on each table, “the six steps to perfection”, will help amateur pint-pullers.
The Baggot, the oldest pub on Dublin’s Baggot Street and steeped in musical history, was first licensed in 1700 but closed its doors eight years ago. In the Baggot Inn:
- Bono was once turned away from its doors for looking to young until he told the doorman he was the lead singer of the band for the evening
- Tracy Chapman launched her career here
- Bob Geldof had to beg for a month before he was allowed to play a gig
- Fresh from recording studio, David Bowie performed here just to try out new material on a live audience.
