Set in the West End, the cavernous Waxy O’Connor’s is a sight to behold. You can also find live music in the basement bar on Sunday afternoons after filling up on a great value Sunday lunch. Beyond its home-brewed fare, the Irish bar’s serves up a range of bottled beers from across the globe. Probably one of the biggest Irish pubs in London, The Porterhouse in Covent Garden is also well-known for its large range of beers, stouts, ales and porters, all lovingly brewed in Dublin and exported to London. Guinness aside, the Irish bar also offers a good choice of whiskies. Pop your head into The Toucan just off Soho Square for an experience that can only be described as “Guinness galore.” Lean against walls covered in Guinness posters overlooked by a trio of the busy tiny Irish pub’s namesake toucans, drink in hand, or perch on a stool designed to look like a pint of the black stuff.
