Best Bar in the World? Now or then and why.

The old Marquee Club bar in Soho was special as was the Intrepid Fox also in Soho.

Not sure about the intrepid fox. A metal hangout? Saw the undertones at the old marquee. Plus merton parkas. And took band pics there once.

The Fox was indeed a metal hangout.

Does Wetherspoons/The Commercial in Accrington count?

If the beer's good on the day.
From what I know of accy (can be dead even on a saturday) I think it may be the livliest place to be.

The White Orchid across the road always seems to do well. https://whiteorchidboutiquebar.business.site/

One more shout out. The Spring Lounge in New York ..... dead at 1am, bursting by 4am. A late night legend. (And they had a full size shark hanging over the bar)

The Irish bar in Ploërmel. It wasn't Irish, he just couldn't be bothered to change the sign.

I dread to think what an Irish pub at altitude is like ... thank the lord.
I watched Italia 90 in Irish bars and have barely recovered.

I avoided most. Well remember the london 90s explosion of oirish bars in london. Themed knick-knackery and crap beer. Guess there weren't enough Irish to go round.

Italia '90 was a mammoth Irish pub crawl around the 10 or so in manhatten. Total carnage due to the two lads from Limmerick leading the charge ....

Been in a lot of bars in NY whilst working on a ship and docking in NY,plenty of dives in the early 90s ! But I can only really remember the Anchor bar by name which was our local near the port.Saying that the Pig (crew bar) on the QE2 was wild,plenty of nights drinking till 6/7 am and going straight to breakfast service half cut.You don't really appreciate them at the time,only when you reminisce when older ?

That's reminded me of one. The Shipwrights Arms in Poole. Demolished in the '80s but the only pub where I heard actual sea-shanty's sung.

Had a cracking night in Harry's Bar Venice, but belive its a bit over touristy nowadays.

Seriously?? We went in there, around 2018. For less than 2 minutes. I'd have needed to part-ex my TI bike to afford a drink there!
