I'll start:

Raffles in Singapore
Casablancas in Liverpool (the one with the chippy in the basement)
The Underground in Croydon

Been to Raffles (Singapore) as a child - my brother fell asleep at the table (he was little not drunk!)
Also just been to Raffles in Dubai (was not able to get drunk at those prices!)

In the same way seeing somewhere from a boat counted on the last thread, does seeing somewhere from the outside count in this one? Do we have to have bought a drink?

I've been past Raffles and I so wanted to go in, but I was back packing, felt I'd be out of place and was scared I wouldn't be able to afford anything if I sat down.

I'll think of my three and report back.

butmumineedit · 09/04/2023 20:34

MrsTerryPratchett- soo classy your shoes stuck to the carpet Lol, but played fantastic music in there plus always guaranteed a good night there.

Earlys in Bushfield!

LubaLuca · 09/04/2023 20:42

I've been to Raffles in Singapore and Manila.

I had a drink in the UK's smallest pub in Bury St Edmunds, I think it was called the Nutshell or something. I mean I know I'm not the only person to have a drink there, I wasn't alone at the time! 😁

Pseudonamed · 09/04/2023 20:43

Old forge inn, Ballaghadereen, County Mayo. The smallest pub I have ever been to.

Spirogyra · 09/04/2023 20:50

@MrsTerryPratchett I assume it has to be places open to the public, not anywhere private or members only? Already had one post listing clubs, which is what l was expecting to happen

butmumineedit · 09/04/2023 20:50

Also The Bathtub in Hamelin, Germany

Club 92, Dublin. The mention of sticky floors above reminded me.

NoWordForFluffy · 09/04/2023 20:52

Depeche Mode bar in Tallinn.

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/04/2023 20:53

OK no private members clubs. But one of mine was a dodgy unlicensed speakeasy so those are allowed.

Can have seen it from the outside and it counts.

Drinking establishments can include anywhere the drinking is the main activity so tea houses count but cafes mainly food-serving don't.

Fort Enfield Tavern, near Oamaru in New Zealand. One of the very best day drinking (into all night drinking!) sessions… and I’ve had a few in my time 🤣
