One of Guinness’ true aficionados in London, Cork man Ian Ryan (he also loves Murphy’s and Beamish, obviously) has often cited the Twelve Pins for its quality pints. It’s found on Seven Sisters Road and so, together with the Faltering Fullback, Finsbury Park is a good part of town for fans. It’s a cosy boozer, often packed out and particularly when Arsenal are playing, but whenever you’re in, the Guinness is worth your while.
