The Toucan

Founded in 1994 specifically to serve a great pint of Guinness, and still doing little else. A tiny two-floor pub — a cramped ground-floor bar and a cellar bar below — with walls covered in Guinness memorabilia, painted toucans and original signage. Reputedly one of the best pints outside Dublin, and enormous Soho personality packed into very little room.
