You might not see this but there is an Irish version of the word "domeage" In fact there is no direct translation but here it is: "MAOLÓG" Definition: When you fill something up to the brim but then keep on adding more, the part that lies heaped above the top of the container is the maológ.

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...

The eye roll from the fella behind you @19.34 in the video is hilarious

Great score for the Sheephaven and well deserved. Great place to watch a game.

I have never tried Guinness untill this guy turned up in my feed and now I am seeking them out. Well done mate

Loved this mate. Great work.

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.

Been a big Guinness fan myself,I love watching these videos.keep them coming .slainte.

The Windmill in Brixton does a superb Guinness. Makes sense seeing the manager is from Dugannon.

This is the only channel I watch the commercials. This guy is solid gold haha.

If looks could kill at 19:33 lol! Another great video

“Isle-ing-ton” 😭😂 fucking love the guru

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!

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 🍺👍🏻

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!!

My uncle used to warm his pint with a red hot poker out the fire! When he moved to a more modern house and no longer had a fireplace, he'd line bottles of Guinness up on top of the radiator.

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 ?

Love the how the video “schticks” at 26:24 when you say “schtick”!

i love these videos !!

Looked a daycent pint in da last pub.Must admit didn’t expect those sort of scores in London.Great video pal👍

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!

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.

Serious shtick rings on that first pint. Should do a Lord of the Sthick Rings t shirt or something 👌😂

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

Fantastic video as usual mate 👍👍🍺🍺

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.

Should of gone north west London that’s where 80% Irish went when moved over some serious Irish bars with serious pints

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

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.

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.

I think we drink it colder in the UK as it wasnt as good over here before when it was brewed here rather than shipped from Dublin.

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.😂🤣👌

The Fullback is a Limerick owned pub. The front bar has tonnes of munster memorabilia.

Feeling the pints by the end of the video there.

I was looking at the hoodie thinking, I'd fancy one of 'em. Can't wait to get 1

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.

22:05 that's why it's cold to mask the off flavours if people aren't drinking it

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

Been watching this page for a bit now and never tried Guinness but I live near homeboy and the auld shill pub so might as well go there for a pint

The full back is 100% Irish pub I usta drink there for years also the 12 pins aka the Tarven great pub back in the 90s

Love this channel even though I don't drink 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.

The Station House is about 5 minutes from The Auld Shillelagh, on Tottenham High Rd. Dublin man behind the bar. Absolutely top pints in there.

Nice to see you again .On the Guinness !

had a few in faltering fullback great pub,,,, auld shillelagh my favorite, great pint n shows all gaa n irish rugby games !!!!

Try Ganley's in Morden, South London (opposite tube station)

Don't know any of those pubs, which isn't surprising since I live in Perth Australia (An expat Brit) slainte lads!

Heading over to London for Paddy’s Day. Any suggestions on area full of Irish Bars to go?

Yeah I agree with the extra cold, I had one last night and it was disgustingly cold, single pour, new shape glass, I almost had a stroke.

That first pint seemed spot on🙏🍺

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.

The twelve pins is THE arsenal pub mate. Did no one tell ya?

The guinness guru alter ego is a propa geeze

Faltering fullback is a Limerick pub, named after dick spring, Kerry man, Irish rugby fullback and former tanaiste, great videos lad

Is the Sheephaven Bay safe for non-locals/non-Irish to visit? I really want to try out that regular Guinness.

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!

Check out The Claddagh Ring in Hendon - great pint in there

Casually splits the G perfectly on the first one

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?

Try Howl At The Moon down in Hoxton

Surprised you’ve not ended up in The Woodbine with the route you took. One for next time

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

What makes an Irish pub is the people and craic inside it I'd say

Omg dude your british accents kill me!😂💀

Guinness micro brewery announced for London .. maybe due to the guru !!!

Auld Shillelagh is my local, what a pub. what a pint.

Watching the video when you panned around the 12 pins I think to my self "Fuck me I've been in there" flashback to a stag doo about 5 years ago 🤣

i think diageo pushed guineas extra cold to try an get some more Guinness sales during summer

Go to Ganleys in Morden, near Wimbledon. Amazing pints, and a great Irish atmosphere! You’ll love it

Mate you need to go to O'briens in Ealing. The best of the lot

£3.70 in the lucky 7 and you would struggle to find a better one

Are you doing West, South and East London as well? 😁

Have you tried any with some blackcurrant in as it improves the taste massively?

Best Guiness in London is O Briens in West Ealing. That is an undisputed fact and I've been to the pubs in this video except the 1st and 3rd ones.

Bit harsh on the Pins just coz its cold. I think its a decent pint but need to try the Auld Shillelagh

The sheep haven pub, owed by a grass called pat

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.

hate freezing guinness a real london problem in mainsteam pubs ...

I don’t even like Guinness, but I did enjoy watching this fella’s passion for a pint.

If or when you hit West London give the Askew Pub, Shepherd's Bush a visit, no better pint of Guinness for miles around!

Guinness challenge every time. Such a flex

Did you make it to east London/ Essex?

You need to do saaaafff London

i want birmingham next🤝

When u coming to croydon mate ive got a place they do a really good pint of guinness is called the fox and hounds

If you are after a few pints does not slightly play a part in your decision in last bar?

Nope. You’re right, Fella. I don’t like ‘Extra Cold’ Guinness but I love the taste of Guinness. Slainte! 👍🏻

How good are the glug sounds when Dara is necking the pint

Darragh, Great video - as always. However, I think they could be made even better if you made your tests more "scientific". How giving points for a) glass b) taste c) head d) schtick. Each could be be assigned a score of 25 points. Top scored being 100. Then putting the score up on the screen? You could even add an "atmosphere" or "craic" score...? Keep up the good work.

Go to the pineapple at the lambeth north tube station Hercules road

You need to come to wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

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

As an English man I do not condone extra cold

Ideas for #Shtick merch (also is it spelled 'schtick' or 'shtick'?) SHTICKY WICKET / IN THE SHTICK / WE'LL SHTICK TOGETHER / What time is it? (on the front) It's Shtick time! (On the back with a Guiness styled clock) / NO SHTICK 'TILL DUBLIN ( this is a play on the Beastie Boys 'No sleep 'till Brooklyn!) 😁

fkn enjoyed that

Hi Darragh is it just a coincidence that there is a Gibneys in central London or does it have any connection to Gibneys in Malahide?

Picture of Bernard Dunne behind you😂

*******Important message to Mr Guru****** you need to get to Bradys Dunboyne and and and Mulvaneys Dunboyne

Please do south London

Kinda want you to do these videos again but find the worse Guinness in london. Maybe a collab with shit london guiness. Very entertaining
