Baby Guinness Shots at The Anchor
What is a Baby Guinness?
The Baby Guinness is a layered shot that looks exactly like a tiny pint of Guinness - complete with the distinctive dark body and creamy white head. Despite its name, it contains no actual Guinness! Instead, it's made with coffee liqueur (usually Kahlúa) as the base and Irish cream liqueur (typically Bailey's) floated on top.
It's a clever visual trick, and we love pouring them. We're 7 minutes from Heathrow Terminal 5, so it's an easy stop for a pre-flight celebration or for welcoming friends back from their travels.

The History of the Baby Guinness
The Baby Guinness shot was invented in the 1980s and has become a staple of British and Irish pub culture. The genius behind this shot was its visual appeal - creating something that looked exactly like a miniature pint of Ireland's most famous stout, but tasted completely different.
The combination of coffee and cream flavours makes it smooth and sweet.
