Topic: Best Beer Bars in all the world!

Post your favorite beer pubs here so beer-loving robots can dip into a fine establishment when they are in that city or area. smile

In Chicago, the ones that have the best selection that I know of are

The Hopleaf

and The Map Room

Do it your way, because everyone else is just weird.

*sigh* ..the map room. I lived next to it for ages

Re: Best Beer Bars in all the world!

I'm working near a small town called Lohja. A very nice selection of beer can be found at a place called Opus K. It has some nice whiskeys too. Above all it has a really welcoming atmosphere and the staff is very friendly.

I'd have to recommend Grogan's on south william street, Dublin. Great boozer. No tv, no music, deadly art on the walls, good Guinness, cozy atmosphere, toasted sambos...

In Ireland does the taste of Guinness differ from bar to bar, even minutely?

@ Paudical,
Never been in Grogan's, looks nice.

Think a Galway fav is Naughtons, bit of a graveyard of ambition but nice to sit and watch de world pass by

Re: Best Beer Bars in all the world!

The rake in London Bridge gets a vote from me, purely for the fine selection of bottles, i think it must have the highest selection to bar space ratio in the world, really small place

Re: Best Beer Bars in all the world!

Little Creatures in Fremantle, Western Australia. They make great pale ale and cider called Pipsqueak. It's on the boat harbour and was converted from a boat shed to a crocodile farm, then to the brewery it is today. They have also just opened a new place in Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Also Cookie in Melbourne. They have BelleVue Kriek cherry beer my favourite and awesome cocktails.

Re: Best Beer Bars in all the world!

i may also post this one again: i can recommend the finkenkrug in duisburg (-neudorf), sternbuschweg 71-73, germany.
its a comfy beer tavern which offers a great variety of beer. they have a nice winter garden and whilst summer theres also a cool beer garden.
its def worth a visit (if youre nearby).

one great beer garden i know is the stadtwald in krefeld, germany. maybe the beer range is limited, but its really prettty nice. unfortunately i cant find some good pics right now. the beer garden itself is quite big and placed between a big art nouveau mansion, which is mostly used as a restaurant and event venue i believe, and a nice lake, where you can ride the pedalo for instance, surrounded by hayfields and forests.

@ san: your little creatures and coockie both look like pretty decent places to hang out.

Re: Best Beer Bars in all the world!

finkenkrug is all about the male restrooms. they could be at berghain if berghain would have mirrors. actually, would have been perfect for twilo in new york.

overall the finkenkrug has a large variety of beer, wich i love as a beer lover, but the interieur design sucks. but [i]B

Re: Best Beer Bars in all the world!

@Zora - Cookie is a lot of fun, especially when my friend is working wink Many an occasion when I've almost fallen off one of those bar stools.

Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.
