Only problem is that they don't have (enough?) Galway Hooker glasses, so tend to serve it in Buttweiper ones instead. That's one sure-fire way to instantly degrade the taste of a great beer. I just can't enjoy it so much drinking from something associated with them <shudder>. Oh and paying 74 euro a pint or whatever outrageous amount it is they charge.

I find it entertaining more than annoying. Takes my mind off the sudden penury that drinking in O'Neill's induces.
