K. Why,
Couldn't remember the name of that place in Libreville - you're right - babes AND nightfighters AND ex pats, a perfect combo - marvellous!
Has the 4 Turkeys in Entebbe had a mention yet?
The Oaks - Neutral Bay.
Shenanigans - Darwin.

For all those voting for the Crazy Kangaruh in St Anton, try the Mooserwirt, if only to see hundreds of lagered europeans singing along to German country music.
Surprised to see only one mention of the Lot 22 - Ooops 78.....
I see Oscars in Alnwick gets a mention, good (Vodka Red Bull trebles for a quid), but always full of Scopies
Mum's Bar (before it was opened up to all and sundry..)
Any recommendations for The Green Zone..?

More Great Bars
Bulldog Club, Goose Bay (probably have had to have been a Permie to appreciate it)
London
Punch & Judy is for 'out of towners'. Better bets (IMHO):
The Harp (Chandos Place) - excellent choice of beers, & sausage baps
Gordons (Villiers St) - grape not grain, but excellent atmospherics
Tattershall Castle (the Thames) - aka Tatty Cat/Belgrano - though only on a sunny afternoon for its great views (also a good spot to watch the flypast on its way to Buck House)
Star Tavern (West Belgravia Mews) - nice little pub. Incidentally, its rumoured to be where the Great Train Robbery was planned (though I am quite gullible)

Madam Chabeau's (sp) for a "bon pour" when you were skint and needed beer,and the bar at the Village Touristique on the beach for a "bon pour" when you were skint and needed beer and food, ah the memories of Majunga!
Oi, Brownie, where's my watch, lighter, pipe, tobacco, shirt and shorts? call yourself a yachtsman

Best Marguerita in Yuma
Cretins - (I kid you not) - Yuma. Sort of Pancho Barnes place for USMC aviators. Great mexican grub and outrageous drinking competitions with the flying leathernecks.

My tuppence....
In no particular order...
The Shed - Port Stanley, just by Coastel 1....a prefab with an ISO container for a urinal, top nights.
Warblers - Bahrain, was it me, or was that roof low
Sherlock Holmes - Bahrain, top curry, Indian style with rice, English with Chips, or Bradford with both
Clusters - Pristina, the roof came off when "Sex Bomb" came on. Got a bit serious after the Rugby Game/Naked Bar/CS Gas incident!
Bruggen Bears - Pink Polar bear....oh God!
The Bubble chew - Roermond (AKA The Blues Bar) ...great music, great beer followed by a schwoarma
Hermans, the Beer boutique - Roermond..by the time you left you knew what the padded bar was for.
The White Bear Club - Pitreave Castle, helped the night shifts along!
The Wheatsheaf - Edith Weston. Compulsory lock ins and a triple woods rum on the house for your birthday when Bob the banker was in charge.
Luffenham Bowling Alley - outrageous nights with Rita and Bob.
The Irish Village - Dubai Airport. Well you have to spend the time between flights somewhere
The Irish bar - The street, Moenchen Gladbach
The Siggies and Wing bar - Pec, Kosovo 1999. With locally produced chemically addictive liquid (the locals called it beer (Pivo Extra)) well there was a war on!
The Families club - Machrihanish. Vaugely remember something about "Stovies"
The Panahandy(? spelling) - Campbeltown. Especially when the fishing fleet was out
The Eagle - Cartoontown, before it was the "Aviator" (when Frank the Chinaman was by the back gate)
I'm sure there are more, but I've just caught a whiff of beer...

Waltzing Matilda and Ned Kelly's in HKG were 10 Sqns regular haunts in the 1980's. Some great memories and awful hangovers from both. Still got the tape of Ken Bennett and the Kowloon Hongkers live at Ned Kellys.
Anyone know if Grace still runs the Wally Mat?

For sharpeners any Embassy Suites from 17:30 - 19:30
Memories of being sat on the veranda of Fort Fort Street in Belize drinking goldfish bowls of G+T's always brings a smile
Always found the piano bar in "New York New York" to be clackertastic......... but that is generally the result of the 2 hour happy hour in the Suites on Paradise Avenue
Not sure who previously mentioned Aalborg but in total agreement as any bar on the "street" on a Friday or Saturday night was just fantastic........and the fact that the "ugly police" seemed by 20:00 to have shipped all the munters to outside the own boundary...priceless

The 'best boozer' I ever knew was a bloke called Bill Jameson.....
However,in the spirit of this thread can I add:
the aforementioned Krazy Kangaruh in St Anton - dancin on the tables in ski boots and ski-ing home pissed in the dark;
the Yucatan in Engelberg which sells more beer in the winter season than anywhere else in Swisserland during a year;
the Goatstall (or something like that) in Hinterglemm, Austria. Something for all tastes: strippers at midnight and goats out the back!
And last, but not least, Ye Olde Axe in Hackney Road, EC2. Maybe the roughest looking boozer in Britain, the worst cider imaginable, but the Brazilian ladies - wow!

Ah, Ye Olde Axe.... There was I thinking I might never find another supposedly educated military type who knew of one of my favourite east end dives.....
My faith in OASC is restored......

Waltzing Matilda and Ned Kelly's in HKG
Thanks for reminding me of the names of the Bars the Britannia Det. frequented in the early '70s. The Kowloon Honkers was a treat to listen to.
