I'm a pub kinda bloke. What's your favourite pub in your town, city? Another city? The world?
In London mine's probably The Princess Louise in Holborn. It's a museum piece.
In the world probably The Cricketers in Sydney by the SCG.
Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans is up there with Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem for going back in time.
Gimme pubs to visit. Maybe don't put your local in case of stalkers  |

"These days it's The Eagle in Boston for us, as it's a traditional British pub, that serves 10 different real ales, about 6 ciders and 40 gins!"
I've always imagined Boston to be awash with Irish pubs |

Yeah, think the owner prefers it be known as a Punk bar rather than Metal. I used play and promote Metal gigs there a lot. |

I've had some amazing drinking sessions there when I go back home. So lovely and amazing alcohol! The Fox in Harpenden is brilliant in the summer as is Cross Keys. Both have special places in my heart. CK has an amazing beer garden and some great local acoustic acts sometimes do a little gig. |

Hard work promoting live music. Did it for years. Fair play to you |

I've been to many good pubs all over the country so it's hard to name one. My favourite local one to me is "The House Of Trembling Madness" in York though, it's a tiny medieval drinking hall full of stuffed animal heads and other curiosities with dim lighting and big old looking candles on the tables melting heaps of wax on them, a a skylight window with the minster looming over it. Great place and sells good strong hoppy beer, not pissy lagers. |

Frowns, I can't place this pub... are you talking about the one the has an alleyway through the middle that splits it in two? |

I was drinking in York last year and I'm annoyed I missed this one. Sounds like a gem |

"The Angry Friar Gibraltar. People watching in the sunshine.
God I wish I could remember the name of the coziest pub ever in the middle of Dartmoor. "
I love the name "The Angry Friar" must go to Gibraltar one day.
As for the Dartmoor one I've heard of it. Used to date a horse trainer from Totnes who apparently used to ride to it... |

visiting Stevenage |
Ahhh, I've just remembered about the Fountain Inn, Gloucester. Great beers, cracking steaks and well priced for a city centre boozer. The beer garden on a summer afternoon is an oasis of calm. Gets roofed on rugby days, mind!  |

"The nearest...... it ain’t the pub it’s the company "
Point taken but....What if you're on you're own and fancy a pint in a nice pub? Might be worth having some insider knowledge no?

I used to love the Angel pub and Goblets cellar bar but haven’t been to either in donkey’s years.
Used to visit one of the bar staff at the Angel for late night naughtiness.
In Cambridge the Empress is a good local pub. Around the villages there are so many great little pubs it’s hard to single one out. |

Ye Hole in Ye Wall in Liverpool is a proper old fella's pub, down an alleyway, bit grimy. The barstaff really know their gins though, and will have a great chat about what you like and don't like in order to recommend something they think you'll get along with. |

Not a single Irish pub in the area - several East European ones though. |

My favorite burnt down a few years back  it's where I grew up drinking and learning to play pool. Second favorite would be one in Richmond but that's because I know everyone that drinks in there. Bar staff were always fantastic. Spent many d*unken nights in there.

I used to like one that was in my village they did the most epic cocktails and it had a young feel for a village pub.
Otherwise I prefer pubs with log fires and good wine or dare I say it gastro pubs |
