Ship Inn
The Ship Inn is a snug, wood-panelled, 19th-century pub on the waterfront, which serves top-notch dishes ranging from gourmet haddock and chips to venison steaks; you can eat in the upstairs restaurant, or down in the bar (bar meals £7 to £10). It's always busy, so get there early to grab a seat.

Kelly's
Sunny Kelly's is filled with sociable punters day and night. The pub's two rooms are decked out with pew-style seating, chunky wooden furniture, a wood-burning stove and, curiously, a stag's head. Seating outside is good for a pint and a sandwich.

Varsity
Attracting the town’s style-cats, this trendy, nouveau bar-café serves cheap food. The décor and furnishings are young at heart, as is the pop music on large TV screens. Pub mains plus hot melts and salads tickle the tastebuds.

Suomenlinna Panimoravintola
Further along at the main ferry quay, this is an excellent brewery-restaurant with a spectacular lunch buffet. Three types of beer are brewed here - a lager, an ale and a porter - and the enclosed courtyard terrace is a good place to enjoy one.

Strampen
This waterfront favourite manages to do top-end meals inside and affordable burgers and pastas for drinkers on its harbourside terrace. Somehow both clientele are happy and the unassailably perky staff keep the outdoor bar pumping until late.

Glitnir
Gastronomic treats that are nibbled at zinc-and-cream furniture, and washed down by wine in fish-bowl glasses, make Glitnir the intimidating summit of Tórshavn's modernist chic. Curiously, the pub downstairs is a lacklustre local affair.

Liam O'Riains
At this grizzled, stone-faced old veteran, you're greeted by a cow-eyed, 12kg pike mounted on a wall near the entrance – he's an ugly mother. Everything else here, however, is lovely. Candles glow softly and windows overlook the river below.

Ninkasi Opéra
- Lyon, France
- Restaurants › Pub
If meaty burgers with all the garish trimmings or fish and chips is your cup of tea, then this microbrewery-run grub stop is for you. Film screenings, live bands, the odd magic show and so on fulfil its Sunday-evening entertainment pledge.

Ship Inn
Ship Inn, down by Elie harbour, is a pleasant and popular place for a bar lunch. The best bit are the outside tables overlooking the wide sweep of the bay.

Klosterhof
Klosterhof’s tree-shaded beer garden is arguably the best in Linz, with space for 1500. If this isn’t enough to tempt you, tasty Knödel (dumplings) with Stiegl beer in the vaulted tavern at the front should.

Princess
Meaty Mediterranean dishes and funky designer wallpaper are the order of the day at this Shoreditch gastropub in the tangle of lanes south of Old St. The restaurant is above the pub floor, reached via an old-fashioned spiral staircase.

Unionsbräu Haidhausen
This sophisticated brewpub has eight separate spaces where a mixed clientele of business types, locals and tourists slurp the house brew and feast on meat platters. There's a jazz club in the basement (Jazzclub Unterfahrt im Einstein).

Keough's
This friendly local, where you'll often hear Irish spoken, serves up a fresh battered cod; specials are more ambitious and allow the kitchen to show off its considerable talents. Traditional music sessions take place on Mondays and Thursdays, while Saturday nights swing with old-time dancing.

Traja Mušketieri
This stylised, up-market version of a medieval tavern comes complete with a poetic menu ('Treacherous Lady de Winter' is a skewered chicken stuffed with Parma ham). The staff excel at courteous service. Reservations recommended.

Brass Monkey
Newry's most popular pub, with Victorian brass, brick and timber decor, serves good bar meals ranging from lasagne and burgers to seafood and steaks. At weekends you can get a full Irish fried breakfast for £5 (9am till noon).

Ferry Inn
Every port has its pub, and in Stromness it’s the Ferry. Convivial and central, it warms the cockles with folk music, local beers and characters, and pub food that’s unsophisticated but generously proportioned and good value. At the time of research, you were better sticking to the bar menu rather than the overpriced dinner offerings..

Paddy Gonzales
This pub, which looks more like an American diner with its seating booths, is overpriced but a good option if you're travelling with children. It offers breakfasts, a carvery and, Wednesday to Saturday nights, Mexican food.

PF McCarthy's
Proudly boasting 'no fried food', this mannered spot serves meals well above the pub-grub norm.

Ashe’s
Owned by a distant relation of Gregory Peck (really, aren’t we all?), this elegantly fronted gastropub serves modern takes on seafood in old-fashioned surrounds. The tempura of pollack with coriander aioli is mighty fine.

Boat Inn
A great riverside pub strewn with nautical knick-knacks and a particularly snug 'snug', the Boat dishes up better-than-average pub grub and a good menu of daily specials.

Loch Tummel Inn
This old coaching inn is a snug spot for a decent feed from a menu ranging from pub classics to more ambitious meat and game dishes. The friendly bar has some good tap choices and is a top spot for a quiet pint at the outdoor tables with a marvellous view over Loch Tummel. The inn is about 3 miles from Queen’s View and also has rooms.

Red Lion
This popular pizza/pasta place near the university fills two rooms - one a dark-wood pub, the other a trellised Roman 'garden' of sorts - with locals looking for around €1.60 draft beer, crispy pizza or pasta.
