Three best pubs in Greater Manchester to get yourself a Guinness revealed in new Guinness Guide

Guinness has unveiled the first-ever Guinness Harp Guide, with three Greater Manchester pubs making the list.

The 2026 guide highlights 35 pubs from London to Liverpool, Manchester to Brighton, each chosen not just for pouring a flawless Guinness, but for offering a warm welcome, great service, a buzzing atmosphere and a genuine love of the stout.

Every pub selected will now receive an official brass Guinness harp plaque, marking them as one of the best places in the UK to enjoy a perfect pint of the black stuff.

Guinness says the guide was created to spotlight the pubs that represent the best of British pub culture – the places steeped in decades of stories, tiled ceilings, slanted bars worn down by dancing, steamed-up windows from a full room, and the characters that keep people coming back night after night.

Manchester list:

  • Mulligans, Manchester
  • Kennedy’s, Didsbury
  • The Station, Didsbury
