Guinness Unveils First Harp Guide, Naming 35 UK Pubs for a Perfect Pint

The rollout coincides with new brand experiences in Covent Garden that aim to channel interest into pub visits.

Overview

  • Nine of the 35 picks are in London, with well-known spots such as The Devonshire, The Coach & Horses and The Toucan included.
  • Regional standouts named include The Beckford Arms near Salisbury and The Free Press in Cambridge.
  • Each venue receives a brass Guinness harp plaque to signal its status to customers.
  • Pubs were chosen across five measures: pour quality, welcoming atmosphere, community role, service standards and a clear love of the stout.
  • Guinness is promoting the guide alongside new Covent Garden attractions, including the Storehouse and the Open Gate Brewery, as the brand seeks to drive year-round footfall.
