Fancy a pint?

Whilst searching the internet for a good pub to meet up with people in London I must have gone through a hundred websites all claiming to know the best places to go.

All of these sites were lacking in one way or another; they provided too little information, had no pictures, were reviewed by monkeys or seemed incredibly out of date.


I was thinking to myself that there must be a website out there where you can get this information; I mean it’s not exactly researching to find the Holy Grail.

I finally stumbled on this fantastic website which was exactly what I needed. The site has a huge range of pubs, covers all of London, will list pubs by location, nearest tube/rail station or by rating. Each pub has a short but quality review along with a photo, directions/map and even the type of clientele.

I can’t help thinking that the guys who run this website never ever eat at home and must truly love pubs above everything else as it is so well researched. They are also pretty handy in website design as I found this site super easy to use.

My only comments would be:

• There are a few too many pubs with a “3 pint” status (out of 5) where the rating seems to be better than their review suggests



• The site is missing the magnificent ‘Monopoly Board’ route from their list of “Pub Crawls” (I successfully completed this in 1999. It started at Elephant & Castle at 8am and finished at Bond Street (I think) around midnight – my liver has never been the same since.)

It would good if there was a Sydney version, although this would probably have to be called www.fancyaschooner.com.au for NSW drinkers :)
