Apart from it being on riverside and bigger than the average bar what’s it’s got going for it?

Yes, but it's not Anchor though!

I've frequented a few times, and even eaten there, and was unimpressed after all the hype. It's just a bar with a load of miserable old gits in it (plus one more), and maybe one cute chick.
its where a lot of brits (plus others) hang out early evening and has the nostalgic "local boozer" atmosphere that the pubs have back in England, i suppose if youre not british or dont know anyone there the atmosphere might not be quite the same, but espeshially on a friday, its busy and has a good british pub atmosphere with lots of banter
Well I’m willing to give it a few more goes especially now the football thing is on.
People of the world, spice up your life.

None of these old western-orientated places are even going to get a mention. The winners will be places like Prei Speakeasy with their much more sophisticated fare:

I don't either but I don't see a hole-in-the-wall winning in the ultra-sophisticated modern Cambodia. 8-)

Ha!
Now I don’t feel so bad that I only recognise 5.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

5 OF THEM ??

I ve been only in 1 of them, Newyears-eve 2021 in Bouchon, its a nice place, but not my style to be honest, i can eat better and cheaper 1 street away from it.
And beer tastes (more or less) all the same in any place . . .
Cocktails ?? Not my thing, thanks !!

In my version of reality there are no ideal bars here because a bar must have:

1 beer
2 no food (beer is INSTEAD of food)
3 no girls (beer is INSTEAD of girls)
