5.0 out of 5 stars Pubs for every season, February 15, 2001

This review is from: The Good Pub Guide: The Original Bestselling Guide to Over 5000 of Britain's Finest Pubs (Good Guides) (Paperback)

I own both the 1999 and 2000 editions of this guide and have made great use of them during two trips to Britain in the last 21 months. The listings identify the particular lagers and ales on tap and give some idea as to food served and atmosphere. I travel solo, but the guide also lists pubs that are family-friendly which some may find useful. I found the reviews to be accurate and helpful in determining which of the many pubs to choose. Of course, some great pubs are not listed, and the book includes tear-out sheets which can be sent to the editors for their consideration for the next edition. I'm looking forward to seeing if any of my recommendations make it into the 2001 Guide!

5.0 out of 5 stars So many pubs, so little time, February 23, 2000

This review is from: The Good Pub Guide: The Original Bestselling Guide to Over 5000 of Britain's Finest Pubs (Good Guides) (Paperback)

Actually, I haven't seen the 2000 Edition, but if it's anything like my 2 earlier copies, it'll be dog-eared, highlighted, & annotated before I ever lift off for the UK. I love my CAMRA "Good Beer Guide"'s, but the GPG is concerned more with the entire establishment, food, kids, parking tips, et al. If you love a good pub, where you can get honest pints of well-kept ales, this is a must. If you've got to stay at home, this will still get you all ahoo to head for the British Isles, & sink a few jars of the best. Slainte', cheers, up yer bum, & enjoy!

If you love pubs, amd more importantly, the homey pub atmosphere, then this book is a must have. No matter where in Britain you are traveling, the guide will have a very good recommendation for you as to where to eat and drink. And it is indispensable source for small, quaint inns, whose accomodations never fail to charm.
