Guinness Launches Inaugural Harp Guide Naming 35 Best-Pour Pubs Across the UK and Ireland

Guinness frames the annual list as a quality mark to guide drinkers.

Overview

  • Venues were chosen using five criteria: quality pours, welcoming atmosphere, strong community, great service, and a genuine love of Guinness.
  • Listed pubs will display a brass harp plaque as the brand’s official mark.
  • Two Suffolk entries—the Guinness Arms in Icklingham and the Elveden Inn—sit on the Elveden Estate long associated with the Guinness family.
  • Norwich’s Fat Cat made the 35-strong list and is set to receive a plaque.
  • Guinness plans a broader 2027 edition with customer recommendations, as commentators flag notable omissions in London.
