October 2023. Novi Sad. Serbia. We only had time for one “pub” in Novi Sad, and Mrs RM’s legs were about to go on strike, so I picked Skripa, tucked away between cathedral and synagogue in the heart of town. Google maps said Škripa was “as busy as it gets” at 2pm on Tuesday, but… Continue reading Serbian Pub Cat Porn In Škripa

CRAFTY CAT CAFE, PRISTINA
March 2023. I didn’t know what to expect from Kosovo, but I wasn’t counting on crafty cat cafes in Pristina. Our apartment was just across the road from the main pedestrianised boulevard of Mother Teresa, between park and national stadium. The most obvious sight are the minarets of mosques in a largely Albanian Muslim, but… Continue reading CRAFTY CAT CAFE, PRISTINA
NORTH SHIELDS – IN THE CAT HOUSE
Enough of Tyneside politics, let’s see a cat in a Tyneside micropub. Actually, although the Enigma Tap calls itself a micropub, you’d probably think “craft bar”. Who cares about labels ? I failed to gauge the pub cat’s opinion on the matter, but did notice her/his/their confusion with the directional arrows. The young chap was… Continue reading NORTH SHIELDS – IN THE CAT HOUSE
JIMMY RIDDLESDEN
If you’re stuck for which photo to lead with on your blog post, ALWAYS go with the pub cate. I assume this is the house cat for Riddlesden’s Willow Tree, she certainly seemed at home (pub cats are always girls, aren’t they ?). I’d phoned ahead, breaking one of my main rules of pubbing, to… Continue reading JIMMY RIDDLESDEN
CATS IN THE CORNER HOUSE
During what could be our last week in the revelry that is Tier 2 for a while (details soon), we’re keeping the unsung pubs in business by eating out now the cupboards have been stripped of crisps quinoa. How about a non-GBG pub in Cambridge’s Newmarket Road ? Not many of those left, which is… Continue reading CATS IN THE CORNER HOUSE
NO TRAVAILS IN TREVALYN
The Beer Guide seems determined to promote lovely Wrexham’s pub tourist credentials. Another GBG packed with new entries in the posh Cheshire-lite villages to the north and the grittier hills towards Mold. I had the joy of a walk from the bus stop at Rossett through tiny lanes with giant hedges. A quiet, straggling, bucolic… Continue reading NO TRAVAILS IN TREVALYN
COUNTING CYCLISTS IN NORTHSTOWE
You left me on the 15:30 out of Waverley Station, waving as I passed Berwick. Back home, it was time for a week off from pubs. But I know how much some of you love to read about Greater Waterbeach, so here’s a walk I did with James, home from Sheffield to be fed… Continue reading COUNTING CYCLISTS IN NORTHSTOWE
BAR-FLIES, PUB CATS AND DOGS AT THE COCK
Next, a shameless pitch for the pub cat market, estimated at being worth about $7.7 trillion annually for bloggers and tweeters. A short post from Blakeney, winner of “Best Village” apparently, despite having no central pub and having converted all its pretty shops to chintzy houses. Decent walks, too, though until my “scratch and sniff”… Continue reading BAR-FLIES, PUB CATS AND DOGS AT THE COCK
CLASSIC BRISTOL PUB CATS IN THE LIME KILN
Some decent pubs, great street art, and scary hills in Bristol on our trip. But it was the casual dining that’s really impressed. After those Lebanese tapas and Bus burritos, we had some very cheap Vietnamese grub in Tuk Tuck. Getting lost in Leonard Lane on the way was a bonus. Never make Mrs RM walk… Continue reading CLASSIC BRISTOL PUB CATS IN THE LIME KILN
TOP 100 PUBS – THE BAG OF NAILS, BRISTOL
For a place with so much craft beer (craft by anyone’s definition) Bristol has a superb collection of traditional boozers. I rarely see the city mentioned in the same league as Norwich or Sheffield, which is odd. Being picky, the Beer Guide pubs can seem dominated by students, and I’ve had the odd bit of… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE BAG OF NAILS, BRISTOL
