Guinness Guru takes on the 12 Pubs of Christmas

So being Christmas time and all, we decided to investigate what's going on with the tradition of the #12PubsofChristmas. Is it dead? is it still alive?

The 12 Pubs was something that was huge about 4/5 years ago when gangs of lads (and lassies if they were brave enough) would put on Xmas jumpers and go from pub to pub, having a drink in each. Various rules would be put in place which would result in penalty shots if broken. We did our route along Baggot St which is also known as the #BaggotMile.

In summary, it's still happening, but moreso amongst foreigners. People also told us that it has migrated a bit to the Camden St area. The bars at the top of Baggot St like it because that's where the groups start; as you go down Baggot St when things get more rowdy, they might not even serve you!

There are a number of different combinations and bars you can go to but here was our route:

Pub 1. Searson's
Pub 2. The Waterloo
Pub 3. The Wellington (closed)
Pub 4. Smyths (Haddington Rd)
Pub 5. The Fifty One (Haddington Rd)
**Pit stop in Burger King**
Pub 6. Toner's
Pub 7. Doheny & Nesbitt
Pub 8. Reilly's (didn't let us film)
Pub 8/9. Foley's
Pub 9/10. O'Donohue's (didn't let us film)
Pub 10/11/12. Napper Tandy's
**Second visit to Burger King**

Reviews of the pints will be coming soon so keep an eye on the channel. Let us know what you think and tell us your experiences of the 12 Pubs/Baggot Mile.
