105 Stoke Newington Church Street, London, N16 0UD
Auld Shillelagh, nestled at the heart of Stoke Newington’s busy Church Street, has been going for an impressive 27 years, first opening its doors all the way back in 1991 as a teeny tiny pub consisting pretty much solely of a bar and a dartboard.
These days the pub has more than tripled in size and has room for all its many fans, who flock even from South London (shock!) alongside the local Stoke Newingtonians for what is touted as some of the best Guinness in the capital, as well as the warm atmosphere created by the lovely staff.
But that delicious Guinness isn’t the only reason to visit the Shillelagh: a recent development has seen a gorgeous little sun-trap of a beer garden pop up out the back, and of course, and you’ll never miss a rugby match on their screens. Or get down on a Friday, when Irish four-piece band Smoke and Derry have a weekly gig which never fails to lift spirits and get people on their feet. Or just trust the words of the Irish Times describing it as the most authentic Irish pub outside Ireland itself, and get yourself down there, stat.
