The best bars and cafés United Kingdom

Faced with the sea, this bar held by a Frenchman created a completely English atmosphere: black and pink decoration, neon… We come here to enjoy a beer and especially to meet other French often expatriates.

This typical pub, opened since 1760, offers concerts every Saturday, a good selection of beers and traditional English dishes. Also accommodation.

Marston's saw its first pub open in 1890. Since then, they've set up shop all over Britain. And although it's a chain, they take great care to ensure the provenance and quality of the products they use. In Caernarfon, you'll find The Anglesey Arms on the seafront promenade beside the castle. This large pub attracts the town's young people. A quiz is held here every Thursday evening: a great way to meet the locals! But be warned, the questions are all about British culture, so be prepared..

One of the most popular pubs, with live music, good beer and delicious food. It broadcasts many soccer and rugby matches, and the atmosphere is always friendly. It's also home to Jimmie Willies Nightclub, located below the pub and open every weekend. And if you party a little too hard, you can even rent one of the five rooms available (4 doubles, 1 single). You'll be able to relax in comfort before heading downstairs the next morning to enjoy a Welsh breakfast.

With more than 700 different whiskies and a beautiful changing selection of real ales, one can hardly go wrong in pushing the doors of this institution. Dating back to the 19th century, the Pot Still has preserved its beautiful interiors, behind its discreet little green front. The location is ideal for discovering the country's many single malts and whiskies from all over the world, especially as the establishment has been awarded the "Icon of Whiskey Scotland Whisky Bar of the Year 2019" prize, following many others! Also to be tasted: its exceptional pies.

This superb restaurant has seduced London's aristocracy, who flock here at teatime to soak up the purest British tradition. It has the grace of a Lady.Afternoon tea is a ritual that the Wolseley has mastered perfectly, and which has earned it its reputation. Cream tea comes with scones and cucumber sandwiches, served in lustrous silverware. Afternoon tea with homemade jam and clotted cream. A must for all those wishing to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Jane Austen's novels.

Waxy O'Connors would be the largest Irish pub in the world and for good reason. The place has 4 bars and 6 floors connected by a labyrinth of stairs and passages. Not to mention the Tree Room, whose decoration literally revolves around a real tree. Richly decorated from floor to ceiling, each floor cultivates its own style and changes its atmosphere. Thanks to the 3 giant screens, the place is ideal for watching live sports. You can also eat there, and every Sunday, a real Irish music orchestra comes to play.

Adjacent to the most commercial streets of the New Town, it is a popular place to go after a shopping spree. Trendy, girly, two English adjectives to sum up the atmosphere of the place. The details are meticulous: round armchairs upholstered in raspberry pink and deep blue, floral tea set and hourglass to serve it after perfect infusion . Amateurs will enjoy choosing from about forty teas from all over the world. As an accompaniment, multiple options for the little ones, at any time of the afternoon!

Metal surfaces, apparent wind tunnels, small orange lampions, brick walls and bar: The Brewdog Brewery's edimbourgeois sign plays its fashionable image to attract a clientele of high-quality amateurs. On the menu, a dozen pressures and more than one hundred different bottles meet the slogan of the establishment: " craft beer for the people ". The prices are quite high, but the frame remains relaxed with many people giving birth at the counter and an adapted playlist. Children are accepted until 8 p. m.

This great Irish bar on popular Victoria Street has built its success on daily gigs made possible by the presence of bands every night. The atmosphere is effervescent and people come more to party than to chat. The room is quite dark and has relatively few tables. Students and residents of most youth hostels have discounts on drinks: remember to ask! And on the drinking side, you will have a wide choice of scottish gins, scottish whiskies (and irish whiskeys), scottish craft beers...

These two twin tea salons, located on Abbey Street and Church Street, are adorned with wonderful «buns», a bunch of bread rolls adorned with chocolate, jam and other nuggets. The service is impeccable and involved. Ideal for the sacred saint.

Pedar O'Donnel's is one of the many traditional pubs on Waterloo Street, located at the foot of the ramparts. The Peadar is a popular meeting place for travelers, with its Irish grocery store decoration (sausages, groceries, hanging hams...) and its folk and traditional music concerts, every night from 11pm. The place is famous all over the city for its very good live music. Rugby and soccer matches are also shown on the pub's screens. Irish and cheerful atmosphere guaranteed!

England sometimes still appears so Victorian. This pub is a case in point. The facade dates from 1844 and the interior decoration was completed a few years later in 1875. The interior, furnished in dark wood, cultivates a typical atmosphere to enjoy copious snacks and good beers in this timeless place. The Bunch of Grapes comes alive especially from 6pm, a sign that the office workers in the area have finished their day and that the museums and shops in South Kensington have closed their doors. Then there is only one thing left to do.

Go green in the heart of the business district... If you are staying in the West End or passing through the area, make a stopover in this atypical establishment, totally original! Drink coffee and then buy plants, or the other way around. Or drink coffee among the plants. Even better, add a slice of homemade cake and discover new species, garden tips and tricks, and take the time to breathe, not in the great outdoors, but in the green. The concept is as original as it is seductive, and successful!

"It's all about the cake", announces the front... Pastries of all kinds are in the spotlight here, and gourmets will turn it into a mini-palace of temptation. For a sweet break, choose from cupcakes, brownies, scones, chocolate bites, caramel slices, shortbreads or generous cream and sponge cakes. All this, of course, comes in different varieties. To be served with tea, coffee or hot chocolate (they too have their gourmet version). Savoury palates will also find their happiness (sandwiches and soups).

Voodoo is a bar, restaurant, club and concert hall all rolled into one, all gilded in the sumptuous splendour of Victorian decor. The place alone is worth a visit! Light jazz electro, groovy funk or peachy R'n'B are to be expected depending on the passages, but also live performances by carefully selected rock and pop bands from the independent music scene. The main room can accommodate up to 200 people. The bar has won numerous awards: for its cocktails, for its decor, for its concerts, for its liquor menu...

Pandas are not only honored at the zoo in Edinburgh. A bit of a hipster with an imitation barber shopon the front - no, no, you're not mistaken... push the door! It's an old hidden bar, like in the prohibition era -, Panda's & Sons is an ideal place to settle down to chat while sipping a cocktail with popcorn, the great strength of the establishment. The decor is eclectic, with a Victorian saloon feel and a nice wooden bar. The cocktails are original and very creative.

This is without a doubt the best pub in the Royal Mile. In the quiet of a dead end, people passing by see him less often, but locals know he is there. Its terrace is very pleasant in good weather and its warm room partially in the basement, with a low ceiling, comes straight from the Middle Ages. Small and friendly, the regulars come to chat by the fire. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful and will be able to help you choose from a wide variety of whiskys, ales, stouts and ciders.

This pub is THE indie destination of London's rock scene, with its large cobbled courtyard furnished with wooden tables and canapés. It made a name for itself during the heyday of Kate Moss and Pete Doherty, when the latter regularly played here with his band. Quite simply, every band worthy of the name has played here since it opened - it feels as if it's always been there. You're guaranteed an excellent evening in the company of the relaxed waiters and the musicians who take to the stage, in what is ultimately a rather retro atmosphere.

No pens or notepads here. Like other East London venues (Dalston Superstore or JaguarShoes), Printers & Stationers isn't a stationery shop, but an absolutely brilliant wine bar. Behind Columbia Road, we come across this adorable little house, where customers are so local they seem to live on the premises. To get to the main room (presumably the former dining room), you pass a tiny counter, order your wine balloon (often French) and then through the kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed.
