Here I land again in British territory with our friends at The Observer Food Monthly. The July Edition was published last Sunday.

I could not resist mentioning their Top 50 Summer Pubs and Bars as handpicked by Tim Lewis and Adam Edwards.

Highlights from the list in my view would be Oloroso (Edinburgh, Scotland), sherry has class to it, actually more of a restaurant with a well stocked bar. Second is Sandinista (Leeds) which they put under First Date spots when I thought it was named in honor of The Clash. There is even a Mobile Version, this bar (not the Magic Bus') is the Somerset Cider Bus, from Burrow Hill Cider Farm which they say is a staple at Glastonbury Festival will be at the End of The Road Festival near Salisbury (mid-September). They play cool music too.

With the downpour currently falling on our British friends, indoor entertainment must be needed.
