Most of Solihull's best pubs are on the outskirts. The villlage of Knowle has The Ale Rooms, a micro that won Solihull POTY last year, and also a nice traditional (although windowless) pub in the...
It's stolen from Viz. Except for the bit about drinking responsibly, that replaces a fake link to a 'www.getyourselfonthesauce.gov.uk' public service website.
It's available as a T-shirt, and I've...
Hey, a bit more on Sunderland. The Deptford area and the walk towards it is the place to be. Sadly, the characterful Saltgrass is currently closed due to a fire in December. But from the centre, a...

Well to update on Reykjavik, there's a few decent bars, the stand out one for me being the Microbar just off the main square. A massive beer menu here. For atmosphere try ölstofa, which attracts more...
I'll be in Reykjavik in June, so I'll let you know what I find. Pricey, apparently:eek: , although I expect in comparison to Norway it'll be like Sammy Smith'sville!
There was that book, 'The Rough Pub Guide'. It wasn't really consistent though, it had some pubs that could be considered 'edgy' I suppose, but there was a liberal sprinkling of traditional boozers...
11 for me. As usual I fall down on the South, professional Northerner that I am ;)
When's the Ayatollah-baiting brew coming out chaps?
Thought not.

Slightly better is Baltika from St. Petersburg....
I'd also like to say hello, I hope to contribute soon, but I'm currently working in Azerbaijan, but I check this site every day. Looking forward to a huge session on my return next month! Meanwhile I...
