The Good Pub Guide

On my travels i've stopped for a beverage from time to time, here's some of my favourites.

The Dove, London, England

A few minutes away from London Fields, The Dove stocks 100 Belgian beers and also has a few English ales on pump. 100 Belgian beers. In the middle of East London. Does this really need anymore explanation? Try Saison 1900 and Satan Gold.

Jekyll and Hyde, Edinburgh, Scotland

Awesome decor. Toilets can be tricky to find.

Ardview Inn, Port Ellen, Islay, Scotland

Biggest selection of whisky i've ever seen in a pub, friendly staff and locals. Try the Bruichladdich Octomore if you dare.

Het Elfde Gebod, Antwerp, Belgium

Decorated with statues and art collected from churches over the course of 30 years. Saints tower over you as you sip beer that's unlikely to be found anywhere else.

Bauhaus/ The Crash, Bruges, Belgium

Get to know some new friends in the bar of Bauhaus hostel, with giant's melted candle and a clock going backwards, then move over the road to The Crash for rock and/or roll until no one's left standing.

Cafe Olivier, Utrecht, Netherlands

Serving a wide selection of Belgian beer in an old church complete with organ. Good food too.

Excalibur, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Biker bar in the red light district. Good music and suits of armour.

Jazz Rock Cafe, Krakow, Poland

Dark, metal design. Good beer, good music, good atmosphere.

Zly Casy, Prague, Czech Republic

Best selection of Czech beer around, with great snacks.
