This is the London outpost of renowned Irish pub Gibney’s, tucked away beneath Richard Corrigan’s Daffodil Mulligan in Old Street. Its Irish roots mean a lively atmosphere is guaranteed, and while you watch the games you can tuck into bar snacks from upstairs – think salt chilli pork nuggets, and deep-fried durrus (a type of Irish cheese), paired with a pint of Gibney’s Stout.
