Most bars pour the stout in two parts to let it settle properly and ensure a centimetre of frothy head on top. For a smooth drink, people also keep an eye on a cold, clean glass to avoid bubbles and the stout from overflowing.<\/p>\n<p>The Prince of Wales served a perfect pint of Guinness, but we understand not everyone may want to fork over \u00a37 for a pint. Crisp, cold, and creamy with a nice dome over the rim, it is everything one would look for in an ideal glass.<\/p>\n<p>Many pubs lacked the sight of green clovers and shamrocks, but made great pints and perfectly good places to spend a night out. But if you\u2019re looking for a night out in the name of St. Patrick, there may be other recommendations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Shamrock Spirit!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DSC03343-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169226\"  \/><strong>Image credit: Charles Gagan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right outside Clapham Common station is Irish pub The Rattlin Bog, which opened last December 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Greeted by a leprechaun, the Guinness toucan and emerald green walls, one would not want to get caught wearing red here \u2013 this is an unmistakably Irish pub.<\/p>\n<p>Their St Patrick\u2019s Day celebration will be accompanied by Irish food, dancers and live music.<\/p>\n<p>A pint of Guinness will set you back \u00a37.50, but if you want to immerse yourself in St. Paddy\u2019s spirit, then this pub is a must-visit for a proper craic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169218\"  \/><strong>Photo credit: Sabine Batalla<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Best bang for your buck this March 17?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Neill\u2019s right outside Clapham Common station is prepped and ready for this week\u2019s St. Paddy\u2019s Day celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While it is not as cold as others in the area, for \u00a36.15 a pint, a Guinness here proves to be cheaper than most pubs in the area.
