A TikTokker who visited Belfast and had 42 pints of Guinness in 20 different bars over just 72 hours has shared his verdict on which was the best.
Visiting the city over New Years, TikTokker @fat_boi_life was on a search for the perfect pint of plain to kick off 2025. In a video that has now been viewed over 56,000 times on the app, he reviewed each pub he stopped by and rated each Guinness.
Detailing scores on each spot, he reviewed the ambiance and atmosphere of each pub as well as rating each pint. On the visit, he stopped by plenty of popular spots such as The Duke of York, White's, Kelly's Cellars, Madden's and Bittles.

Providing ratings for each spot, he said the pint in Kelly's Cellars was the "creamiest Guinness you've ever seen in your life", while he was surprised to have a decent pint of the black stuff at Wetherspoons. Two popular spots for Guinness, The Duke of York and White's, left the TikTokker disappointed.
However, he visited The Duke of York again later in the trip and said the pints were "much better", adding in the comments he'll have to give White's another go when he returns.
As for his favourite spot, he said The Dark Horse in Cathedral Quarter was "by far" the best spot in the city. He said: "The interior, the service, and the Guiness were all ten out of ten." In another spot, the John Hewitt, he said he had "probably one of the best Guinness I've ever had."
On the way home at Belfast International Airport he had four pints in two different pubs, but said he "would not recommend."
