Visit this pub and you’ll soon find out it’s really not a long way to Tipperary. In fact it’s merely a ten minute walk (stumble) from Blackfriars Tube. As London’s first Irish pub, there’s no better place to guzzle Guinness and toast the friendly folk from the Emerald Isle.
Founded in 1700, by Dublin brewer SG Mooney, this lofty, narrow boozer was the first place to sell the black stuff, both bottled and draught. Suffolk’s Greene King bought the Tipperary in the 1960s and restored it to its 18th Century beauty. The floor mosaic is intricately peppered with shamrocks, while the walls are panelled in a rich dark wood. On both floors the pub is slung with huge mirrors and faded prints of Dublin and Cork.
Typically, you’ll come across a whole bunch of tourists visiting this charismatic little pub keen to enjoy a tipple in such a historically loaded venue. Not forgetting of course, the handful of Americans who come in every week claiming some sort of vague Irish ancestry.
