The Jeve in Goodge Street.
Dusk to Dawn, Wan Chai.
Mamacitas, Puerto Cortes.
The list is endless but, curiously, difficult to recollect

The Coach n horses opposite Royal Mail in Norwich.
Rugby and cricket coverage, great Sunday Roast, newspapers, friendly staff and on-site brewery ;-)

Thanks Basil for the Dusk to Dawn tip - just starting 3-years out there...

Look out for the clip joints in Wan Chai; recognisable when girl appears asking you to buy her a drink. Mama San wasn't pleased when I described her establishment in less than glowing terms - just as well for Bas that the Wan Chai Tong were off somewhere else.

Joe Bananas is OK; there's another next to Dusk to Dawn whose name I forget.
A couple of colleagues were rohypnolled one night. They realised what had happened when they came to the next day with lots of expensive drinks CC debits in their wallets.

The financial crowd tended to Lan Kwai Fong (Sp?)

Have fun and watch yer six!

The Eagle - Cambridge.

The RAF Bar, The Eagle, Cambridge. Priceless history within. Many a evening spent there way back when. Long before all the research was done.

Well worth a visit.
TN.

The only one I can remember in Cambridge was The Fort St George; recollect getting well oiled in there. That was back in the days when Girton was for girls.

Next to Dusk Till Dawn? Amazonia? Good live music but full of hookers. Don't, whatever you do, buy drinks for the girls or it will turn into a very expensive night indeed.

JAKARTA

My friend who spends time in Jakarta told me that Jaya Pub for some 60's and 70's music for a few hours followed by BATS for a look at rental properties and Indonesian takeaway - but only a look - is a good way to spend an evening.

Feather Boa iin Staunton St in HK also worth a visit before heading to the flesh pots of Lan Kwai Fong (aka Lick My Thong).

Moose's in Honolulu.

Pacific Beach bar and grill in San Diego.

At least when I was a single lad, they were hoppin. With gray hair, I doubt they'd let me in nowadays.

Ha, this thread is just a willy waving exercise to see who went to the most far flung or exotic sounding location to get drunk.

Best for me the simple old nags head Deci. Or maybe the Crown at Wendover.

Westie, they actually let me into Moose's with very little hair remaining! Glad to see we do at least agree on something!

Watching the classic 1976 BBC series Sailor on DVD last night, I would consider that Diamond Lil's Show Bar on Plymouth's Union Street would probably not have featured on my list of best pubs.... But it has now closed, I gather.

But what a great series that was.

If you ever get a chance to visit the range at Tolicha Peak, drop into the Sourdough Bar in Beatty, Nv. Rough as fcuk but with a certain rustic charm.

OK, Jayand:
Recollect from 1970s Viscount days, a club in Leeds which used to have a lunchtime 'Amateur Hour'.
On that rotation the pilots had a day layover with an hotel room allocated to change in and our new cabin crew came into town to meet us. Not only were they the only female clients in this place but they were the only ones in BEA uniform

The 2 Pigs, Pickwick, Corsham - heavy rock, like a proper mancave inside. No food, no dogs and no under 21's.


Pint of Swill bartender..............................

Sadly not, burned down - I think a couple of years ago now.

Westie, used to being called Sir, went with the job and also some shops but I was speechless the other day to be called Sir by someone who meant it
rather than a policeman but blowed if I can remember who. The other part of lacking a solar teepee.
