Walsh’s in Stoneybatter do. Had a few there over Christmas. It was colder than the regular draught. Much nicer than the van version most pubs serve.

Interesting, when they launched it they said it'd be cans only, would like to give that a try, haven't seen it anywhere

Yup, in the absence of Guinness, Ireland's Edge is alright.

The thing with the cans is getting the temp right.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

I think they had only recently installed. The head bar man was curious to see what I thought of it because they had switched from the cans not long before it.

Once it’s cold it’s grand. Some of the slop you get served when its cans is brutal, especially when it’s the same price. Some places serve you something that looks like it’s been poured at a gaf party at 4am.

Not too cold though, I've had a few stout slushies in my time as I usually put the cans in the freezer.

Yep was in a few spots with a designated driver on the 0.0 cans and it comes out in some state. 
I'm the gaffer whatever I say goes.

I can accept being served slop when it’s from a can but not at the price you’re being charged.

Mulligan's on Poolbeg Street have it on draught as well. I was in a boozer in Dublin in November and the barman charged me a fiver for the can version and didn't even use the machine. Just fooked the can in to a pint glass and handed it to me with bubbles galore LOL
I dont email the count anymore, its been 9 months : ( He even sent me a YBIG scarf for my Birthday

Been in a few places that have the Guinness 0.0 on draught, either from the blade machine or regular tap from what I can see. 

Horseshow House on match day in case you are driving to the match and want a gargle have that (and a decent selection in general). 
They had corona on tap which was first I've seen in ireland.
