The Best Guinness in Reykjavík
Creamy head. Perfect dome. Settled for 119.5 seconds. Served the way Arthur intended — right here at Klapparstígur 27.
Ask any local where to find the best Guinness in Icelandand one name comes up again and again — The Irishman Pub. We've been pulling pints in downtown Reykjavík for over a decade, and we treat every Guinness like the ritual it is.
Why our Guinness is better
- The proper two-part pourWe tilt the glass to 45°, fill to the harp, let it settle for nearly two minutes, then top it off with a dome.
- Served at 4°CCold enough to be crisp, warm enough to taste — anywhere colder and you lose the flavour.
- Clean lines, every dayOur taps are cleaned weekly so every pint tastes the way Dublin meant it to.
- Real Guinness glasswareBranded tulip glasses with the proper harp etched in — the etching is what gives the Split the G its line.
