Isn't that the point?
It may be a long way from home, but whenever you're there it's that same familiar, comfortable atmosphere.

And Molly Gwynns in Moscow is OK, but next time you're there try Scandinavia near Metro Pushkinskaya.

Great thread. I've got lots of regular overseas haunts, here are a few;

Amsterdam, Holland; The Sailors.
Tønsberg, Norway; Esmereldas.

Esmereldas pizza is very nice indeed. Then along the road for a few drinks in the Harbour bar waiting on the fun bus turning up....lol

Great food, beer's a bit overpriced mind.

I very rarely drink in a pub local to me. Even just for a mid week pint and a catch up.

There is a few of us who regularly drive 17 miles to the pub, taking it in turns to drive.
