Turning its back on the trend towards homogeneity of watering holes, this book celebrates the decor, and singular, wow factor of public drinking places, whether they are big or small, traditional or contemporary. It describes some of the world's best looking pubs, including British Victorian Gin Palaces, Germany's Beloved bierkellers, and more.
