Celebrate St. Patrick's Day At These Irish Pubs In London
staff drinks food
This small and friendly pub embodies the concept of craic- nothing flashy or tacky about it, The Auld Shillelagh is all about the booze and the banter.
Small and full of character, it is the pub to be at if you’re looking for a cozy and authentic St. Patrick’s Day.
The Tipperary is the oldest Irish Pub in London, having celebrated its 400th birthday in 2006.
Though it has clout for its stout, Tipperary also offers an extensive whisky list and delicious traditional food, making this small and historic pub the place to be on St. Patrick’s Day.
It has earned its stripes, being the first London Pub to ever win the CAMRA National Pub of the Year in 2010.

The Auld Shillelagh is a traditional Irish Pub that has been in Stoke Newington for over 20 years.
Although it looks tiny from the outside it has actually been expanded over the years to be much longer than when it was first built.
This friendly pub is frequented mainly by locals but is loved by all who pass through and experience its charms.
They have striven to have the best Guinness in North London and according to them (and their customer reviews...) they have achieved this.
The rest of the drinks menu is exactly what you would expect from any great London pub, as well as having some delicious food to accompany it.
'Best Irish Pub in the World' competition entry: Auld Shillelagh, London
food
The Irish Times’ Generation Emigration project is on the hunt for the best Irish pub in the world outside Ireland.
There is something in all of us Irish abroad that makes us want to have something of what we left behind after making that fateful decision to leave our homes and our country behind for foreign shores.
Having lived in London for 15 years and travelled to many countries on the continent and beyond, I have walked through the doors of many Irish themed pubs.
The long narrow pub has been an extension of my living room for almost 12 years, the same friendly faces of those young and old and a distinctly genuinely Irish feel to the bar, it’s not home but it’s not a million miles away either.

The Mint Gun Club review: An antidote to London dreariness ...
staff drinks food menu
Drinks are as summery as the decor, with Hunt in his element, reaching into his global trove of ideas and ingredients, closing the gap between continents with each little stir of things that elsewhere might never meet.
Menus are finished each morning, new ideas are tried out each evening, the bar plays about all day.
One is the Gun Club gimlet (Husk gin, kaffir lime cordial, Kummel Wolfschmidt liqueur), the other the Penzance (gin, chamomile and honeysuckle, Cornish Manuka flower).
The list does (sort of) get heavier with Nightcaps for £9, including Shark Bait (Caperitif, Yaguara Our Cachaca, Elderflower Amaro, Lemon Oil), which is nice in a waxy sort of way, but some fall short of the mark; the Ghost has the perfect name – it might make you shiver, but the flavour quickly vanishes.
A night out in Stoke Newington is probably best ended with a new flat and a new job, because it’s easier to move there than face the journey home, but the Mint Gun Club is worth the trip.

The added-value attractions at this skinny little Church Street boozer are numerous: sporadic themed music nights (including the Bowie Bar on the second Thursday of the month, with films and food – Diamond Hot Dogs, anyone?
But the Shillelagh is at its best when it keeps things simple, as an honest, uncomplicated Irish pub (as opposed to Irish-themed pub; the difference is crucial) that draws a devoted circle of boozed-up Stoke Newingtonians most nights of the week.
It’s the kind of pub where the wine list runs to ‘red or white’, and where the staff are so matey and hospitable that they’ll offer to bring your Guinness over to your table rather than have you hang around at the bar and wait for it to reach perfection.
