(And lest anyone be tempted, no, I'm not in the least interested in the "There's no good Guinness outside of the following three pubs in Dublin" discussion.) A quick note on eating dinner at the Burren, as opposed to David's brunch: evaluated as a pub, the food is quite good; the pub dishes are well done, and the more adventurous food can be, if not magnificent, then at least tasty and worth a try. As David noted, the portions aren't enormous, though I haven't yet left hungry. The atmosphere is definitely pub-style -- you seat yourself and flag down a waitress, don't expect to find a table when there's a session in progress, and resign yourself to the inescapable bar smoke when the place is full. -David
