After a long cultural visit to the British Museum, the Museum Tavern is the ideal location across the street for a relaxing and relaxing stop. In addition, the pub offers very good English beers and serves a very good fish years chips.

The original building dates back to 1887, but now extends over two floors in true gothic style. A great place to have a pint and enjoy a traditional music concert on Friday nights (from 9pm).

Hidden in one of the famous entries, vestiges of old Belfast, this tavern exists since 1630 and claims to be the oldest in the capital of Northern Ireland.

The area north of High Street was Belfast's oldest, but was almost entirely destroyed in the bombing raids of the Second World War.

Entries were passageways most often used for trade.

Here's a well-known Perth venue that opened in a former foundry where metal vats, pulleys and face masks still have their place in the large, dimly lit room.

The Bow Bar no longer has its reputation among the public houses of the capital. Dubbed by CAMRA and consumers, it was created in 1987 and still offers about 200 single malts and about fifteen real ales. He even holds his own beer festival during the summer. Decorated with old advertisements and mirrors, its unique little room lacks space at weekends and you often have to stand on your feet. Its location in the friendly West Bow is very appreciable. Good plan: "whisky wednesdays" with whiskies available only on Wednesdays.

A feminist wine bar. Aiming to honor and support women in viticulture, 90% of the 300+ wines on display are from vineyards (national or otherwise) managed by women.

Built in the 15th century, it has seen many sailors pass through its lair to eat, sleep and water their evenings. Today, its intimate atmosphere, full of history, is still as famous as ever. We enjoy four real ales, but also good food (local suppliers, fresh products). The tables are logically quickly taken by storm and you can sit outside when the weather permits.

If you're still not convinced, Sandy Bell's serves six real ales and several other draught beers.

This pub is quintessentially English, with its low ceiling, wood panelling, warm atmosphere and 8 beers on tap, many from the Fuller's brewery, to which the establishment is attached. On the edge of North Laine, you'll have to look a little harder for it, but it's clearly worth the detour and is still mainly frequented by locals, which is very welcome. The food isn't bad either, based on local ingredients from local producers. At the bar: more than eight beers on tap and around a hundred spirits.

This bar is in fact also a microbrewery, brewing its own beers on site, so it has plenty of original choices. With 24 taps, 4 keg pumps and over 80 craft cans and bottles, it's a beer lover's paradise.

There's a terrace overlooking the street, large kegs behind the counter and a decoration based on photos, statues, pennants and numerous bottles transformed into candleholders.

This delightful Victorian pub is one of our favorite places in the Lanes to come for a drink and some good music. It's one of the city's oldest establishments, and its dark, cosy interiors are very pleasant. Real ales and ciders are available, of course, and the food is pretty good too. The red sofas are particularly comfortable. If you're lucky enough to find them unoccupied, you'd be happy to stay all day. A classic, efficient pub with a festive atmosphere where you can mingle with the locals.

On the North Laine side, The Prince Albert is an institution, housed within a large house that single-handedly sums up Brighton's vibe: good beers and street art and live music. Its front was redone in 2017, while retaining the frescoes on its outside wall, featuring John Lennon, Amy Winehouse, Bob Marley and Michael Jackson alongside a famous Banksy depiction of two policemen kissing. Unfortunately, this is now a copy, the original painted here in 2004 having been sent to the USA to be sold.

Just a stone's throw from the station, but off the busy Queens Road, The Evening Star is one of Brighton's most popular pubs for fans of real ales. The birthplace of the Dark Star Brewing Co, the bar features several of its products, as well as a variety of beers from the rest of the country and even the world. There isn't much room, which contributes to the warm atmosphere in this all-wood decor. The Evening Star is a must for a pint in Brighton after a day of sightseeing.

With nearly thirty beers on tap and a central location, Maypole is definitely a great place to come and sample the region's real ales. There's also a gin bar on site! There are two basement rooms and a beer garden. Italian-influenced dishes include pizzas, lasagne and risottos. It's an authentic bar run by the same Italian family for over 30 years. An address worth supporting in the face of the chains that are buying up most English pubs.

This pretty, popular pub, well-known to locals with its garden, offers 14 real alesat the counter, mainly from British microbreweries. Seven variations of cider are also available for connoisseurs, as well as a wide collection of gins, whiskies and Belgian beers. Classic pub food is served, including excellent pies. The bar is large enough with its jadrin for everyone to find room. The same family runs two other pubs in Cambridge: The Royal Standard and The Blue Moon.

One of Cambridge's most famous pubs with certainly the most beautiful view and the best location. We go there especially for its incredible terrace and view of the Cam River, and for its wide choice of beers. Be careful, around 10pm the waiters ask you - more or less sympathetically - to come inside. To be tested in the early evening so that you can fully enjoy the setting, just on the banks of the river. And on sunny days. It is said that Syd Barrett, from the Pink Floyd, was a regular at the bar. He even played it.
