Don't get me wrong, the Shamrock is a welcome addition, but it can be compared to those pubs I've drank at in Tbilisi. Still, as Thomas says, Tbilisi, Georgia and Georgians are more European in a lot of things compared to Armenia and Armenians. It's why Bambir say they prefer the city over Yerevan, for example. Anyway, as I said, Thomas, have a draught Guinness for me if you make it to the Dublin in central Tbilisi. When I was last there a few months ago the Guinness had run out and I had to make do with a draught Murphy's instead. Anyway, enjoy.
