My favourite pub in London is The Harp, Covent Garden. You can tell by the clientele that they consider it a gem amidst a sea of pretentious trendy bars. Hope it retains it's atmosphere. Always the same friendly lady behind the bar, particularly clued up about her Real Ales, of which they have plenty. Bar surrounded by a myriad of beer mats of all the nationwide ales they have served up. The best bit though is upstairs, totally a contrast to the ground floor: it is like walking into some aristocrats drawing room! Had it all to myself for the first pint I enjoyed the day of the play-off final. http://harpcoventgarden.com/Massive thumbs up if you are within 2 mins of Charing Cross any time soon. I'm near there on Monday so may well try it! Thanks! |

1) Raoul's in Jericho (Oxford)
7) Duke of Cambridge in Jericho Oxford
Raoul's cocktail bar, and the Duke of Cambridge cocktail bar? You can't put those in a pub thread! Jericho Tavern is a good shout, whoever mentioned that. Some people find it a bit poncy but its not really, and has the bonus of a music room upstairs and giant garden. The Three Goats is great because its Samuel Smith and well cheap despite being bang in the middle of the city centre. The Victoria in Jericho is nice, same owners as Raouls. Turf Tavern for a bit of nostalgia, and always has decent ales. |

If we're going for international boozers i'll chip in with another few...
The Lotus Bar, Koh Tao, Thailand - Open air beach bar with cheap drinks and lots of happy hours, plus plenty of spontaneous games of football on the beach with the locals when the tides out!
The Frog and Roast Beef, Val Thorens, France - Ski lodge type bar but awesome atmosphere friendly staff and a mini stage to take on the 'yard of ale challenge' excellent bar to stop by on an evening out...
The World Bar, Queenstown, New Zealand - Traveller/student/gappy type bar. Serve teapots full of booze, always a good atmosphere day or night.
Hans Brinker, Amsterdam, Holland - Cheap nasty hostel with huge beer hall style bar and a direct line to the heineken brewery, it's grubby in their but never dull!
The World bar is a good shout. I also like The Bog in Christchurch. Endless fun ringing people from there! |

Three Goats - excellent shout. I've never been to Oxford without stopping in there for a cheek Sam Smith offering.

The Turf is a one off, and a fine pub. I used to spend a fair bit of time in the Kings Arms as well. Used to live in Jericho, but this was a while ago and most places around there were complete dives back then. It sounds as if the area has picked up a lot since. |

I'm only there for a day to meet my new boss so provided I have time, a swift glass of vino could be in order.

I hate these real ale snobs with their 'well kept beer' comments. Give me a pint of fizz any day.

I thought your favourite tipple was a pint of JIZZ, Samdy Gay.
