Name the best Boozer
Without the wife
• Chez Paré in Montréal - A world apart from the hideous strippers that were thrust upon us at Odiham.
With the wife and kids
• The Last Castle, Cyprus - Hot sunshine, great sea views and an abundance of barbecued meats and cheap wine - Not falling asleep at the wheel on the way home can be a little tricky mind you.
With fishing rod
• The Mayfly on the river Test in Hampshire. No apologies for the owners and the food, but sit down with a pint of ale and enjoy, as the location by the river is stunning.
P.S. - Ross who?

Now that was a class place. Is the no neck bouncer that charged $2 to show you to a seat still there? I guess it must be $5 now.
No one been to Bangkok?

To avoid beadwindowing as suggested in post 2, a few of my preferred venues behind the wire:
Unfortunately the powers that be have achieved 'morale savings' at all these venues.
I can personally vouch for Halifax, Nova Scotia as one of the best party towns in the world. The Split Crow was a particular highlight.
As for the worst - The Waterwitch, Odiham. The only reason I'd go back there would be to set fire to the place.
- The Camel's Toe, Basrah Air Station - The atmosphere, architecture, workmanship of those who built it, the daily hours of sunshine. Nothing quite like a long day of flying in 50C, occasionally getting shot at, and then coming back for an ice cold with the rest of the Flt while the mortars go off around you.
- The Goose, MPA, FI. Much like the Droop Stop at Odi, it's closed more often than it's open due to riotous behaviour. Awesome fun. Some horrible, horrible things have happened in there.
- The cage at ASI. A nice tropical breakfast 6 pack. Always a pleasurable experience. Offrs' & Sgts' Mess bar on ASI was a spectacular location.
- Bentley Priory OM. A drink on the balcony on a summer afternoon before hitting London. Halton House also good for the stately home experience.

The Great Alaskan Bush Company - Anchorage.
When I heard about it I wondered for a fleeting moment whether it was a local flying club. Happily, it was much much better!!!

Harry's Pub Cairo, they say Stella Artois is made from donkey piss, but Egyption Stella is brewed with the waters from the Nile, guess 5 million egyptions just pissed in my beer, tastes good though!!

The Scandinavian bar at Kabul (I think it's real name was Valhalla or something). It was built by the predominantly Scandic Fire Service out of a Noggy Army Hospital tent. Outside - tent. Inside - anywhere but Afg, even without the aid of Carlsberg. Ferkin' BRILLIANT place. But not when they got out the rotting Shark!
