No place better after a long day of hauling up enormous halibut.

I don't like any fancy, expensive bars usually. Just good service, good and interesting drinks and either relaxing or eventful.

Picking one bar would be impossible, I'll just toss out some cities and favorite bars in each. Some are hotel bars, some bar bars, some more clubby.

New York: Electric Room
Phnom Penh: Elephant Bar at the Raffles
Hong Kong: Le Jardin
Paris: Le Montana
Sao Paulo: Skye Bar
St. Barth: Le Ti
Cape Town: Caprice
London: Maggie's
Belfast: The Botanic Inn
Hvar: Carpe Diem
Palm Beach: McCarty's
Cairo: Cairo Jazz Club
Sydney: Ivy Pool Bar
Boston: BHP
Tokyo: Feria
Brussels: Jeux d'Hiver
Buenos Aires: Unicorn
Kiev: Heaven
St. Tropez: Les Caves du Roy
Florianopolis: Cafe de la Music
Kathmandu: Tom & Jerry's

That's probably enough for now...perhaps I spend too much time in bars.

Shall be trying this one on my next Londonium visit, although the menu seems more like a gourmet restaurant than even a gastropub.

Not that I mind...

Any recs on beers, ciders or food?

The Burger at the Ship is one of the best i've had in this country. In fact a mate from San Diego who was here last week said it was one of the best he's had too. In the summer they do BBQ's outside which is much less formal, but the restaurant section isn't very formal to be honest.

I mostly drink bitter and as it's a Youngs owned pub, that's all you'll get here. It's pretty decent but my one complaint of this pub is the fact they can't get the really good bitters from around the country. The White Horse on Parsons Green has a superb choice of beers (although quite pricey). It's only a short bus ride from the ship down Wandsworth Bridge Rd.
