Most pubs in UK had Extra Cold pumps installed, alongside the standard Guinness pumps about tens years ago. And Guinness promoted the bejaysus out of Guinness Extra Cold to non Guinness drinkers. Sales were three to one for colder Guinness and sales improved considerably generally as a result (hence the new Guinness Hopstore London coming on stream soon), so a lot of the non "Irish" pubs removed the standard Pint configured ones. London & South East is generally considerably hotter in Summer than any place in Ireland (by a good 6-10°c), so the colder pint also made Guinness an all year round pint. But yeah you will notice it if you come from Ireland for a visit, or do the reverse trip...
Don't be put off by your first pint. I remember being a lager and bitter drinker and trying my first Guinness and I was like " you actually drink this? "
You need to come back and do the best of North West London. Kilburn, Wembley, Hendon and Harrow had huge Irish populations back in the day and some great pubs still remain.
Bronze age is gone to shit, sir Colin Campbell was my bar but its kinda shit, the cock tavern is like its dead, the kingdom is gone with a few year. Mcglynns on Willesden Lane does a decent pint.. claddagh ring in Hendon is a good aul buzz and so is the parish bar in wembley
@@deccyboi4218 Kilburn is one of the melting pots of London. The main wave of Irish immigrants who came over lived here first as it had digs / bedsits which were easily affordable to your working class single man.

True. I used to live in North London, Finsbury Park. Used to drink in the Auld Shillileagh and the Twelve Pins etc, but none were as good as O Briens in West Ealing. Closest tasting Guinness to home
@@michaeldoyle1007 used to live in Kilburn when I was a youngster....there was an Irish pub on the corner of my street!! Was walking home one night cos it was getting dark and some drunk irish dude grabbed me and put a knife against my throat then he was like "oh you ain't the guy your alright...go on with ya"....shit myself nearly....oh those were the days!!
I lived near South Harrow, back in the day, an Irish fella took over the eclipse bar near where I lived, when he took over the Guinness quality, went through the roof. As soon as he stopped managing the pub, it went shite. When Guinness is decent, you can easily drink 8 pints. What the Guru said about looking over and thinking about a pint, I used to think about the pub five mins from me. Like if I had a hangover, & didn't want to move, I would be envisioning a pint being brought to me on a tray, over to the flat.😂🤣👌
Can't wait for you to visit Glasgow. Gem of a place near me called The Laurieston. Recently learned to ask for the middle tap as it comes straight from the cellar with no cooling - game changer. Slainte!
Im livin away now 14 years in different parts of England /Scotland. Guinness has got so much better over here in recent times...even my local in the back arsh of nowhere is comparable with my local back home.
They announced this week they are opening a Guiness micro-brewery next year in London so you will have to come back and try that. We are going to The Auld Shillelagh in a few weeks so glad to see it got such a good review. Slainte!
Not Just North London - but the whole of London I’ve done quite a few. It has gone to the wire for me - but my vote goes to the obscure Sheephaven Bay - always a great pour and great texture - lovely mouth feel. The Auld is slightly sweeter but thinner. I live close to Auld but the Bay pips it - 8.8 to 8.6
I'd love you to do a Cheltenham races special in March, get one of the bookies to sponsor the vid. Few good bars in town and the Guinness Village at the racecourse
Unfortunately very few pubs in England serve regular temp Guinness …. Despite all the different Guinness taps they have it’s the same freezing cold Guinness coming out! … it’s a shame as you say as it spoils the taste somewhat and not as creamy!
Love it mate! But yeah very few pubs about with the normal Guinness rather than the extra cold. Shame really because the colder the pint the more shite it seems to be.
Delighted to see two or three of these are within a short walk of where my sister in law lives in Finsbury Park. Will definitely make a visit when I am next there.
Finding it hilarious you’re over there sampling London’s finest, and I’m over here in Dublin taking your recommendations on local pubs. The Confession Box is a hidden gem for sure 🍺👍🏻
Always been a regular in the Pins as an Arsenal fan but have to say I’ve always preferred the Fullback. Used to live on the Stroud Green Road too so am stoked that it was reviewed by the Guru.
Just started drinking Guinness and I’ve only ever had it in Edinburgh. So tempted to go to Ireland to get a good quality Guinness. Does anyone know any pubs I can go to in Ireland when I do go over? Or just ask the locals?
I’m so glad I’ve found your channel! I’m from the States and going to Europe for the first time this summer with a stop in London. I love Guinness and I’m so excited to try these places! Keep making the great content!!
@@niallbourke7963 one of these days I will for sure!It’s a multi stop trip and London happened to be on that list. Though I’m assuming anything even London has to offer will be better than here!
Had some decent ones but one that stands out for me is the ‘Lore of the land’ I think it’s Guy Ritchies pub? Worth checking out I remember it being somewhere in Fitzrovia
You’ve gotta do a North west London edition. I’m from solidly north but apart from where I’m from (Irish area) we all accept that NW London has the most Irish pubs and longest diaspora tradition
Just been in the twelve pins and they have a cold and normal tap. They served my pint from the normal tap unprompted so hopefully they are learning. Now in faltering fullback and the pint is close to absolute zero. When you come back try mannions in tottenham hale. Out the way but great pub and pint.
Another great review, and a few bars to be added for my next London visit. On the subject of merchandise, did I hear you correct when you said possibly some in a few weeks ?? If so, how do we order ?
Can someone ship me a case of Kilkenny Cream Ale? I can’t get it here where I am at in the states. I will pay basically whatever to get my hands on some lol
So glad you named the shill the best pub. We have always known it as the best Guinness in London but you have confirmed it. Always entertaining videos. Nice work.
Stopping in Dublin for night flying back from Cali on my way back up home to the causeway coast (savage pints up there BTW) gonna head to diggers based off of your rec. Looking forward to absolute Kreeaammmm. Keep er country horse.
@@roymorrison6713 Portstewart Arms in Portstewart, The Anchor Bar in Portstewart and the Harbor Bar in Portrush would be a good place to start.

Some great pubs in Christchurch. The bailey and Pegasus. There was a Irish pub beside the temporary rugby stadium, can't remember the name it done seriously lovely pints of Kilkenny.
Extra cold was a way for Guinness to cover up the aftertaste you get from Guinness that doesn't have a quick turn over. Nicest pint you could get back in the day was a room temperature pint. But a pub had to have a high turnover or it would taste like shite. It was also much harder to pull a pint, and there was a good bit of waste. Guinness made it mandatory for a draft to be put thought a cooler over 20 years ago. And Don't get me started about how they fucked up the recipe trying to make it more consistent, again about 20 years ago. Guinness is not the drink it was 25/30 years ago.
@@mattloades8464 They’re both great pubs. The sheephaven (if you don’t like Celtic FC) is probably best avoided on a Matchday.. I’ve always found the Auld Shillelagh a bit of a pain in the arse to get to as I don’t live anywhere near that part of London. It’s great for GAA. Gets a sort of modern new Irish crowd. Young professionals as such. I’ve lived in London 20 years and it’s fascinating to see how the demographic of the Irish in London has changed, and the pubs too. Mostly for the best but I can remember sticky carpets and dog bones on the floor, in many of the Irish pubs across London. There’s still a few gems to be found. The Parish in Wembley, hasn’t changed in 20 years, the pride of Pimlico, o Donoghue’s (Goldhawk Rd) The quays (Holloway Rd) is long gone but used to be brilliant. The claddagh ring in Hendon is a gem. Again great for sport. Most if not all are a bit of a stretch journey wise for me now, and with the advent of GAA GO (for me personally anyway) it’s less of an incentive to travel so far. Honourable mentions to Connollys Chiswick Mother redcaps Holloway Rd The kingdom (Kilburn) if it’s still going.. Many happy memories in all of the above.

That first pint seemed spot on🙏🍺
Surprised you’ve not ended up in The Woodbine with the route you took. One for next time
