BB King Blues Club, 143 Beale St, Memphis TN.

Great (live) Music, great atmosphere, great city. Somehow the double Jack's 'n' coke taste better than anywhere else too.

The food's good but you GOTTA eat at Rendezvous (in the alley, downstairs, behind 52 South Second in downtown Memphis).

Europe: The Norrebro Bryghus in Copenhagen. I can't tell you much about it because it was such a fantastic place. They brew their own beers, too.

Australia: The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel in Sydney. Great atmosphere, I wasted a lot of time in there.

UK: My local. They're just started doing food, which is a bad thing (because I'll go there for lunch now, too!)

Helston gets a few mentions! i had a good night out there, and witnessed an on-street incident of female-on-male attempted rape! She had a weight advantage and it took a few coppers to get her off him!

George at Leadenham....happy memories!

High Wycombe had an excellent pub for live music, with a rock-grunge-goth theme...can't remember the name though but many good nights were had! Also a few traditional pubs closer to the camp....the one with the pipe-smoking landlord and the younger Russian wife, the one that briefly introduced lap-dancers and got a friend of mine into a lot of trouble with the missus.

There was a bar round the corner from the RAF Club that did a champagne happy hour. Myself and a chum partook of the said offer, and found out afterwards it was a lap-dancing club. My chum spent most of his income there for the next month or two along with a few other JOs (they brought a dancer back to the Mess one night I believe) but I never went back (honest!)

That would be The Nag's Head for music(now closed and boarded up), and The Black Horse for the Russian landlady.
