Over the years I have visited a number of pubs and other watering holes that have made a positive impression on me - whether it be for the quality of the service, the beer or the building/decor itself.
Here I have collated a little selection of pen portraits of some of my favourites. Click on the venue's name to be taken to the relevant article. A map of all the V-T-Vs is displayed below the index.
I will continue to add to this collection as time goes on.
