This cozy Inman pub is home to the best Guinness pour this side of Dublin. (Unofficially, but trust us: We’ve done our research.)

Saddle up to the worn wooden bar for a pint and some craic, or grab a table (if you can—it’s almost always packed) to tuck into the fish and chips and enjoy the frequent live Irish music.
