- ToeAndno, on 06/16/2009, -1/+15A pub is a little English tradition that dates back to before your country existed.
- DouglasQ, on 06/16/2009, -0/+11Ah... Well, Britain.
I swear to god, one day you people are gonna get your head around the amazingly simple puzzle of the England/Britain/UK etc thing. - mattus, on 06/16/2009, -2/+12Did you know that 'English' doesn't always mean 'English as it's spoken in the USA'?
The clue is in the name. ENGLISH. - nicksource, on 06/16/2009, -0/+8I'll cry if any more turn into winebars or restaurants. :(
- DouglasQ, on 06/16/2009, -0/+6Sure, that's why you do it.
- thinboyslim, on 06/16/2009, -0/+5why is there a huge empty channel from Essex through the east midlands and up into Staffs and Cheshire? As if the writers decided to travel around without going near the M1/M6. For shame!
- tomjowitt, on 06/16/2009, -0/+5I'd go with CAMRA pub guide over anything the Guardian come up with. There's lots of incredible pubs that aren't on that list.
- ToeAndno, on 06/16/2009, -1/+5Way to get your facts wrong. If he's 18 then he's welcome to drink in any of these pubs.
- DouglasQ, on 06/16/2009, -1/+5Don't worry Imperial, I got the joke.
- kraytwin2001, on 06/16/2009, -0/+4I wouldn't say Hardy's Well in Manchester deserves to be on this list, it isn't a particularly nice pub. And The Metropolitan is huge, always crammed, overpriced and only sells standard moderate quality pints. The only reason I ever go there is because of it's large beer garden. The Railway Inn which is just across the road is much nicer.
- boomcubist, on 06/16/2009, -1/+5A public house, the formal name for a pub in Britain, is a drinking establishment licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on or off the premises in countries and regions of British influence.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pub - h0dges, on 06/16/2009, -0/+4I do like the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham, it's in a frickin' hillside!
And I can't believe they didn't mention the Devonshire Cat in Sheffield - real nice selection of real ales. - fragMasterFlash, on 06/16/2009, -0/+4Looks like a gastropub list for all the foodies. Show me where I can get the best cask conditioned ales and nothing more fancy to eat than a salted beef sandwich.
- Elijah17, on 06/16/2009, -1/+5I'm pretty sure this was sarcasm....
Almost positive, actually. The spelling and grammar is too good for it to be someone that stupid. - dumbrit, on 06/16/2009, -0/+3Maybe one of the deciding factors is how likely it is to get your wallet stolen...
I kid! - MasterGrief, on 06/16/2009, -0/+3He's just trolling, mattus. How could "pub" be a non-english word to him? They use it in America to describe, well, pubs. See his profile-- he's just looking for people to call him out.
- finklehorn, on 06/16/2009, -0/+3where the ***** do you live?
- j035u5, on 06/16/2009, -0/+3The best pub in norfolk let alone norwich is the fat cat. ales as far as the eye can see! you can even get them to take away. I have been to depressingly few of these though:( need to explore a bit more
- Severys, on 06/16/2009, -0/+3Spot on mate. Also Sinclairs is a cheap and cheerful town boozer but nothing special, although Bar Fringe is a quality pub. No mention of the Marble Arch, Sandbar or Knott Bar in the Manchester section, by far the best pubs around here.
- Hedison, on 06/16/2009, -1/+4None of my favorites on there. I wonder how they decided these are the top 200
- kraytwin2001, on 06/16/2009, -0/+3Fully agree. I've never been to Bar Fringe before nor Marble Arch but Sandbar is one of my favourite places in Manchester and Knott Bar does some of the best food I've eaten in a bar (The head chef is amazing and makes the best Irish Stew I've tasted excluding my grannies!)
- jonbarford, on 06/16/2009, -0/+3I lack a witty retort to that! damn you!
- chuckDontSurf, on 06/16/2009, -2/+4Apparently some folks on digg don't speak Sarcasm.
- tejota, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2Dug for the Eagle in Cambridge.
- Threlly1, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2The MOST ornate pub in Britain is the 'Philharmonic' in Liverpool, built and fitted by the people who made the ballrooms on the Lusitania & the the Titanic.
This list has been compiled by somebody in the risible South. - MasterGrief, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2I doubt the pubs are going anywhere, really. London alone must have more pubs than Starbucks locations, and believe me, that's a *lot*. You're looking at two pubs per block, pubs across the street from each other, pubs down the street from each other. Pubs are everywhere.
- inactive, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2Dugg for the trout in Oxford!
- MattBD, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2No. None of the one's I've ever been to in Norwich are in here. Although Norwich is supposed to have had one for every day of the year.
- jonbarford, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2Not 1 in Liverpool !? I might have to head to 'the fly in the loaf' to get over it. Pint of Thatchers should do it.
- toddc612, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2Where's John Snow's, London! Bah!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:John_Snow_memori ... - tomjowitt, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2So many traditional London pubs got bought out by property developers and turned into soulless yuppie flats. It's going to be a sad day when they're all gone and all we're stuck with is Weatherspoons and All Bar One.
- Elijah17, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2Damn straight...
- Smeeeprig, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2To be fair it is mostly English pubs with some token Welsh, Scottish and Irish pubs. I can see why he was confused.
- borez, on 06/16/2009, -1/+3Two of my favourite pubs in the World are on that list. The Roebuck in Richmond where you can buy a pint ( in a glass, not plastic ) and sit admiring the outstanding views from the top of Richmond Hill, only occasional spoilt by Mick Jagger's son playing drums on a Sunday from the top floor of Mick's house next door. Talk about a ***** ***** drummer.
And... The White Swan in Twickenham, which is probably one of the best Riverside pubs in the World and my favourite haunt when I just want to be alone and think and have a pint. - artificialhero, on 06/16/2009, -0/+2Not sure I agree with the people saying this list is based on food - the Cowherds in Southampton ranges from average to terrible as far as food goes (the sandwiches are an absolute joke, especially considering the price), although the atmosphere and range of ales on offer is pretty good - I still prefer the food, drink and atmosphere at the Crown (5 minutes walk away) - http://www.crowninnhighfield.co.uk/. The barmaids there are all stunning too, it's like a posh hooters :)
- ScaryUK, on 06/16/2009, -1/+2An 18 year old can drink in any of the pubs listed!
- MattBD, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1Pubs that do that often tend to be ones where they expect fights, so not really somewhere you want to go. Although, should you actually call it a glass if it's not glass? It's more of a beaker really.
- ScaryUK, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1The Pandora Inn is a great pub in a fantastic location, problem is that it's atthe bottom of a narrow downhill lane and the car park gets very full on a hot day
- mattus, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1The Turf Tavern in Oxford is a regular haunt of mine. Nice, but overpriced and overcrowded.
- j0etb, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1Also Frog and Frigate in Southampton. Awesome place!
- CoD4, on 06/16/2009, -1/+2"best"
- alasdairmacl, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1too be honest there arent that many great pubs in aberdeen! doesnt stop me from going to them though.
- icecoldtrashcan, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1Dugg for the Granta in Cambridge!
- Hellahulla, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1Why the hell did they miss The Swinnow in Leeds. Fools!
- snolan1990, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1The Five Bells
Great Cornard
Suffolk
No. 1 - dumbrit, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1Fortune of War on Brighton seafront is brilliant (in summer, not at any other time of the year)
- dheaddy, on 06/17/2009, -0/+1A measly 2 in the whole of the West Midlands! Man, I'm spoilt for choice
- vanillafire, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1I was surprised they didn't mention the Devonshire Cat too! The beer menu is truly excellent, and the food is great too. :)
- tomjowitt, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1Sam Smiths pubs are great and the John Snow, Glasshouse Stores and the one a few doors away (Duke of Argyle is it?) are regular haunts.
- j0etb, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1Yeah, was hoping they'd have at least one pub from Portsmouth (most pubs per square mile than anywhere in UK apparently)
