The front bar is cosy and features part of the original historic wall alongside the Guinness World Records certificates, which adds to the charm. Further along, there’s a beer garden that feels a bit more modern and less authentic, but it’s still nicely laid out. Unsurprisingly, the pub is very busy with tourists, and pints are slightly overpriced compared to elsewhere, but it’s easy to see why the place is so popular. I don't think they have food options or maybe I just did not see it.
