7/25 for me ,some good 'uns,some mediocre.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Very strange list. Not sure what the selection criteria is here. The Pipe and Slippers is not the best pub in Montpellier, let alone the whole of Bristol, or the UK....

Only the Harp in Old Radnor for me. Enjoyable, but hardly earth shattering.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
Just two for me, Marble Arch and Bacchus.
9 or so for me. Time Out lists usually comprise places their contributors have visited and reviewed, and presumably liked, but there is no objective reason they should be considered "The best..." by any stretch of the imagination.
On leaving the bar, I felt a strong blow to the back of my head. Turning round, I discovered it was the pavement
Quite so. The Compton Arms was a great traditional locals' boozer before Lockdown but I couldn't handle it now.
Made a special first-time visit to SE5 last night to see why The Camberwell Arms comes in at No. 24 on the list; I wouldn't rate it at No. 24 in SE5 and the postcode has only 20 entries...
Hmm. I reported The Moorcock Inn closed back in Jan '23. The previous licencees now appear to be doing pop-up events, but as far as I know the pub remains out of action. A little more research wouldn't go amiss.
