Bar or Pub: Which Suits You?

In a bar, cocktails, long drinks and spirits are usually the focus. A pub, on the other hand, is often the place for a freshly poured beer, a chat at the counter and a relaxed evening with no dress code. Both have their appeal, and the two combine well in one evening.

Getting to Know Classic Cocktails

If you'd like to try cocktails in a bar, start with classics such as an Old Fashioned, Negroni, Martini or Mojito. Simply describe your taste to the bar staff, for example fruity, bitter or fresh. They'll gladly recommend something suitable.

Practical Tips

• Book ahead in bars if you're out in a group.
• Plan your journey home by train, bus or taxi if you're drinking.
• Ask about opening hours, as they differ from venue to venue and some businesses have a closing day.
• Bring some cash in case a venue doesn't accept cards.
