6. THE BEST pint of Guinness in Manchester at Mulligans Irish Pub

Mulligans, based just off Deansgate in the heart of Manchester, is an authentic irish pub and the home of Guinness in Manchester. It’s Manchester’s number one Irish pub. So it would be rude not to pay them a visit during the festivities.
