What more do you want from a pub?

Visiting an Irish pub while abroad is always part of your to-do list whether you’re travelling around the world or just in Düsseldorf for a few days .

You conveniently forget that you’ve left Ireland to experience another culture and you seek out the only Irish pub in town for a ‘quiet one’ (which turns into a ‘loud many’ very quickly).

In the ‘Irish pub’, we use that term very vaguely here, you will more than likely sit there pointing out to anyone who’ll listen that “this isn’t actually what pubs are like in Ireland” and how “this Guinness is awful compared to home”.

Thankfully, McLaughlin’s in Düsseldorf, Germany doesn’t try too hard to play the ‘good Guinness and craic’ card, and simply gives customers a message…

They have us convinced to go there already, who could resist such comfort?
