Everyone seems to think I'm in other Rochesters... I'm seriously going to have to go on a Rochester World Tour.

I live with in walking distance from Limerick Junction and I like it pretty well!

I am more of a gastropub/beer bar fan than an irish pub fan at the moment, but sometimes a good Guinness is just what the doctor ordered.

As for the others on your list, I am afraid I don't travel too far outside 285 these days. I'll have to keep them in mind for the future though!

Add another one to your list,
Rochester, in the Goulburn Valley, Victoria, Australia.
If I remember correctly it has two pubs.

I love Dymphnas on St Marks Place up in New York.

Well, the English Rochester is Dickins Central. He lived there for several years and don't you know it when you visit the place!

Almost as bad as Stratford upon Avon for Shakespeare and Howarth with the Brontes

Hrm... In Savannah? Right now I am really hung up on The Distillery. But we have so many great ones:

The Six Pence Pub
B&B Billiards
The Rail Pub
Kevin Barry's
Churchill's
Moon River
Murphy' Law
The Jinx

It must have a special feeling walking across that threshold. Think about all those who stepped across before - kinda crazy.

Yer, ridiculously expensive. For a pint, I pay anything from £2.50 in my local, for bitter, but I've paid well over £3. That's nearly $5, for one drink!

For scotch, a double, I have paid anything from £2.50 to £4.20! I used to frequent my local every night of the week, I am saving aproximately £60 a week by going only twice a week, for the sunday quiz and for darts on a tuesday. That is a lot of money.
