Sports Pubs in London
Gibney’s is a one of a kind London pub with deep roots in Irish culture and a passion for exceptional food and drink. As part of the Corrigan Collection, Gibney’s sits downstairs of the famous Daffodil Mulligan and embodies the commitment to quality and innovation for which Michelin Star Chef Richard Corrigan is known. Step inside and you’ll find a menu that’s all about the very best of British and Irish produce, served fresh off the grill. The dishes are a creative fusion of Irish and international flavours, with options ranging from succulent cuts of meat and fresh fish to seasonal vegetables and raw seafood. Curated by Head Chef Fiona Hannon and Chef Patron Richard Corrigan, each dish is crafted with precision and passion, ensuring that every bite is a treat.
Downstairs, you’ll discover Gibney’s, our lively basement London sports pub that brings the spirit of an Irish pub to life in the heart of London. It's a cosy and welcoming space where you can enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, the best pint of Guinness in London, or simply unwind after a day in the city. The combination of great food, a vibrant atmosphere, and a strong connection to Irish heritage makes Daffodil Mulligan a truly special spot, perfect for any occasion.
Plenty of choices of drinks
We take pride in offering a truly varied drinks menu that caters to all tastes. Our wine selection, for example, features speciality wines from across the globe, carefully chosen to complement the bold flavours of our dishes.
Beer lovers are also well taken care of, with a range of draught options that include classics like Budvar, Rye River Pale Ale, and Heineken. And, of course, we’re renowned for serving London’s best poured pint of Guinness, using the same taps found in Dublin to deliver an authentic taste of Ireland in Shoreditch.
Additionally, our spirits selection is second to none, with a wide array of choices, including a very impressive whiskey selection that includes Irish, American, Scottish, and Japanese whiskey. You’ll also find premium vodka, gin, and other popular spirits. Our cocktails also add a bit of fun and flair with a mix of classic favourites and inventive creations.
Something to nibble one
We’re all about variety and flavour. Whether you're in the mood for something meaty, vegetarian, or a little more adventurous, we’re committed to serving the very best British and Irish produce, with each dish showcasing bold flavours and creative twists.
On the menu, start with our fresh Jersey Rock Oysters, which can be enjoyed naturally or dressed with a zesty combination of chilli, ginger, and lime. For something heartier, our Beef Tartare, served with smoked bone marrow, horseradish, and pickled shallot, is a must try, delivering a rich and flavourful punch that’s perfect for those who enjoy a classic dish with a twist.
Our mains offer a range of comforting dishes, such as the Forerib of Beef & Bone Marrow Cheeseburger, complete with a beef fat brioche bun and chips for the ultimate indulgence. If you’re after a lighter yet equally flavourful choice, the Butterfly Mackerel Satay paired with a refreshing carrot and papaya slaw brings a taste of the sea with an exciting mix of flavours. Our Wye Valley Barnsley Lamb Chop is not to be missed, seasoned with chermoula and served alongside smoked aubergine and peppers: a dish that’s both hearty and aromatic, and one you won’t want to share.
