Yesterday, a quiet gentleman visited us. He calmly took a seat at the bar, enjoying his solitude, and said just one thing:
— Guinness, please.
The bar was about half full, the vibe relaxed and pleasant. Guests chatted with each other, the bartender moved unhurriedly, joking along the way. Everything flowed naturally.
After finishing his pint, the gentleman asked if the Guinness keg was under the bar.
The bartender smiled and replied that all our beer is kept in the cold room — there's simply no physical space for kegs under the counter.
— Did you enjoy the pint? Would you like another one? — the bartender asked.
And then came a surprise.
— Actually, I’m with Pubs Spy, Sunday World — the man said.
— Really? What does that mean?
— It means I inspect Guinness quality in pubs across the country and leave a review on our website.
— And may I ask what your review will be?
He paused for dramatic effect…
And then, like on a TV show, he declared:
— I can say that the Guinness and service at Keane’s Bar were… top level!
— So we’ll be placing your bar at number one!
(At this point the bartender had to rush to greet new customers and didn’t quite catch the rest — maybe it was “best in the country,” or “in Connemara,” or “in Maam” 😄)
Either way, we’re holding our breath waiting for the review.
But it’s already a joy to know that our pint was appreciated — we always aim to deliver the best quality, because seeing happy guests is what matters most.
