Pub #250 - roughly a quarter of the way there, so I decided it had to be one of the pubs which I repeatedly get incredulous replies when I say I haven't been there.
A repeated winner of "best pub" awards, with their own Powers Whiskey released for its 250th year of operation last year, the last refurbishment of any scale here occured in 1881. It has had some concessions to modernity since (heating, a ladies toilets, and there was a TV sitting powered off above the door that's occasionally used) but nothing that really detracts from the feeling of Victoriana
It's not the easiest to get a seat here - we ended up perching at the ledge opposite the bar for the entire time - but its worth a trip.
