On second thoughts, I'm waiting for Greece to bin the Euro, then when the Drachma falls through the floor, any bar over there. Cheap holidays in the sun coming up!
 
My spiritual home during my mid/late teens - early twenties, The Greyhound Inn, Llandovery.

The Britannia, before JD Wetherspoon ruined it 1998. The inn was first recorded as the Harp or the Welsh Harp and early records indicate that there was an inn of that name as early as 1651 but whether on this site is not known. This building was known as the Harp by 1786 and was where the coaches to Welshpool started their journey. By 1820 the inn was known as The Britannia a name it was to keep until about 1985. By 1828 regular coaches ran from there to Aberystwyth and during the summer period to Barmouth. It was also the terminus for carrier's carts from Montgomery and Ryton-IX-Towns in the middle of the 19th century. Happy days! :17:

Mine's called the 'Fat Cat' . A real ale pub and known as a 'FreeMouse'. No TV, no music , no pool table, no dart board, so you actually have to talk to people.

Lofty.
 
Sounds like my sort of place! I've never understood why pubs think that loud music is going to encourage people to stay.
 
The Steamboat in South Shields, it's still a proper spit n sawdust kind of place
Live music in Shields, The Office
Live music in Newcastle, The Cluny
Don't know if it's still there but The Vodka Bar in Edinburgh was pretty good from a hazy recollection
