"The One We Tell All Our Friends About At Gibney's, perfect strangers spill their holiday plans at the bar—Cork, tomorrow morning, an early flight, it was a mistake—and pints of Guinness—creamy, smooth, and taste a bit like coffee and a bit like chocolate—are lined up with precision. Unlike us after drinking several, these pints are perfectly balanced. The screens at this Old Street spot are massive, and if there’s football or rugby on, they’ll be showing it." - sinead cranna
