We Had the most amazing meal. The burger was awesome and the Guinness stew is a must. So full but managed to squeeze in the Guinness chocolate mousse which again was amazing. All washed down with several pints of Guinness. We were seated by the window with a great view. The waiters were very friendly. A must if you are doing the Guinness tour!
