Wherever you go in the world you are never far from a bar or pub to sit yourself down in and have a well earned drink. For some people the atmosphere and liveliness of such a venue is more important than the drinks they serve. Indeed, how many of us look forward to meeting up with friends and workmates for a drink in the evenings?
If you like having a drink out now and again you will enjoy the experience of trying out different pubs and bars whenever you come across them. This is true of trying them in different countries as well, because different places will offer a very different experience to try out.
Of course everyone will have their own opinion on what constitutes the best venue in the whole world. You can only go on what you know and the venues you personally have visited. It can be worth going online to visit some of the websites that focus on gathering together all these places, so you can get a better idea of which names keep cropping up again and again.
It does largely depend on what kind of pub or bar you would personally go to of course. For instance while one person might love a loud and raucous atmosphere, it could send the next person scuttling in the opposite direction. While some love nothing better than a quiet and relaxing pub with a terrace to sit out on, others will hanker after a louder location where everyone crams themselves inside.
Perhaps the best ones for most people are ultimately going to be the most unusual. Take the aptly named Crooked House in Staffordshire for example, which exists at all kinds of wrong angles. Hang onto your beer otherwise it could slide clean off the bar.
On the other side of the world in Australia you will find plenty of other pubs that are much loved by the locals as well as those passing through. The Spotted Cow has well over a hundred different beers to try, so if you love the surroundings they will certainly keep you entertained with beer!
If you are visiting a particular area you might want to check up on what it has to offer before you go. While you might find some good pubs and bars with potential, be on the look out for those you trip over on your travels as well.
One final thing to remember wherever you happen to be in the world, if you find a good pub make sure you take advantage of international calling to tell your friends and family exactly where you are. It's just one way of spreading the word and keeping in touch on your travels to find the best pub or bar of all.
