Step into the rich history of public houses, where stories are shared and friendships forged. In 1967, Buddy Rich mesmerized audiences at a London public house, leaving them in awe of his musical prowess. Brian Foskett's creation brought this unforgettable moment to life. Nestled amidst the scenic beauty of Hampstead Heath stands Spaniards Inn, an iconic pub that has stood the test of time since its establishment in a bygone era. Its walls echo with tales from centuries past, captivating visitors with its charm and character. Traveling further east to Southwold in Suffolk, one discovers a hidden gem - a quaint pub that exudes warmth and hospitality. With every sip taken within its walls at K022028, one can taste the essence of true English tradition. Crossing over to Ireland's enchanting Munster region lies Murphy's Pub in Dingle County Kerry. Here, locals and travelers alike gather to revel in Irish music and laughter while immersing themselves in the vibrant culture that defines this corner of Europe. Venturing northward brings us to Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem - England's oldest inn nestled within Nottinghamshire's historic cityscape. Dating back centuries, it proudly wears its heritage on display as patrons indulge their senses with hearty fare and fine libations. Returning once more to Dingle reveals yet another facet of this picturesque town - pubs aplenty dotting its charming streetscape. Each establishment offers respite for weary souls seeking solace or merriment after exploring all that Dingle has to offer. A step back through time takes us along the River Thames where an old pub stood tall between 1926-1927. It witnessed countless tales unfold along its banks as locals gathered under its roof seeking refuge from bustling city life. Across continents we journeyed next; Margaritaville Pub on Jamaica’s Hip Strip beckons visitors with tropical vibes and island rhythms.
