Three Liverpool pubs named best for a pint in new Guinness Harp Guide 2026
The inaugural Guinness Harp Guide 2026 has named three Liverpool pubs among Britain’s best for enjoying a perfect pint.
Guinness has revealed its first ever Guinness Harp Guide, naming the top pubs across Britain that serve a fantastic pint.
The new 2026 guide celebrates 35 pubs, with each venue chosen for pouring a perfect Guinness, as well as great service and a brilliant atmosphere. The inaugural list includes three popular Liverpool venues - Shenanigans, The Monro and Pogue Mahone - with each set to receive an official brass Guinness harp plaque.
Sean Singleton from DGB Hospitality - who own Pogue Mahone - said: “We couldn’t be prouder of the team at Pogue’s whose tireless work – and of course serving outstanding Guinness – has got our venue into the prestigious The Guinness Harp Guide 2026.
“We know we’ve got one of the region’s best proper old pubs, one steeped in history over the decades, and it’s become a true institution for locals and tourists alike who love and understand what a proper pub should be and is. So we’ll all be raising a glass and toasting to this success.”
Three other North West venues also made the cut, including Mulligans in Manchester and Kennedy’s and The Station in Didsbury.
