Whiskey4Breakfast AKA Ronan Collins
Welcome to Whiskey4Breakfast—where Irish craic meets a no-nonsense guide to drinks, bars, and experiences. I’m Ronan, the guy behind the glass (and the site). Born and raised in Ireland, I’ve spent over a decade in the whiskey industry, earning my General Certificate in Distilling and WSET Level 3 in Spirits. I’ve poured drinks everywhere—from surf shacks in South Africa to the world’s best cocktail bar in London—and developed drink strategies for major brands
But Whiskey4Breakfast isn’t just about whiskey. It’s about capturing the real flavour of cities—whether that’s the best booth in Dublin for a pint, a cheese toasty that’s pure magic, or the perfect flat white in a tucked-away cafe. I want to share my love for genuine experiences, showing you the spots that go beyond the tourist traps and straight to the heart of local culture.
Here, you’ll find honest reviews, proper guides, and a bit of Irish humor along the way. No fancy marketing speak, just real stories and the best drinks worth your time. So, if you’re ready to explore, discover new favourites, or just want to know where the locals go, dive in and follow along—who knows, you might even catch me in the corner of my favourite booze.

Here, imagination meets tradition, with every pour crafted to leave a lasting mark.

It’s about keeping it real, sharing honest takes, and celebrating the best of what I’ve discovered, one sip, bite, or adventure at a time.
