I've been to Raffles in Singapore!

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

Yay, one I've actually been to - got to love Club92 & it's sticky floors 😆🤣 Many a good night had there!

I drank in The George Canning -Camberwell a lot back in my south london teens, largely illegally.

I'm not sure I've drunk in many unusual or impressive places though.

Wiaa · 09/04/2023 21:35

When did you go to the one in Budapest, I went to a similar sounding pop up bar there in 2012

Foreign Correspondent Club in Phnom Penh

JassyRadlett · 09/04/2023 21:40

The Birdsville Pub, but I suspect I won't be alone there!

Do hotel bars count? I have extremely fond memories of the bar at the Danubius hotel in Heviz in Hungary, less for the drinks than for the very red-velvet-and-carved-wood-freezes 70s decor. And the fact that all the other patrons had probably been there since the 70s.

Only if non-guests can drink in them.

I spent waaaaay too much of my misspent youth at the Regatta and the RE. That was before they spruced up the Regatta, I get almost regretful when I visit now.

+1 to the Shelbourne, Strangers in the HoC, and Raffles.

I have been to Seans. It was one time about 27 years ago and it was very small. I thikn there may have been sawdust on the floor. I was dating a guy whose brother lived up there. HIs other half worked in the restaurant which I cant remember the name of but there was only one at the time. Not so fond memories.

I have a very very faint memory. Very faint. Almost like some kind of terrible drowning in beer affected my memory.
