This is a guide to all kinds of pubs for all kinds of people - there are quiet pubs and deafening pubs, knees-up pubs, karaoke pubs, pubs with rock groups, pubs with opera, drag pubs and leather pubs, pubs with theatres, pubs with gyms, pubs with skittles, billiards or chess. Also featured are literary pubs, dissolute and violent pubs, pubs used by cafe society, pubs used by serial killers, pubs that open at 6.00 am serving mammoth fried breakfasts with a pint of porter and one in which live butterflies flit through the saloon bar. In addition, Angus McGill awards his top 20 favourite pubs with an "Eros" sign of excellence. The book is illustrated with Frank Dickens's Bristow cartoons and Willie Rushton provides a foreword.
