It’s that time of the week again.  Time to explore the world’s best bars, pubs, taverns, hostelries, hotels, restaurants, watering holes, clubs and venues.  Can we really be up to I and J already?  If you’ve missed the previous installments, you can find A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H in earlier posts.  If you know of someplace which deserves to be on the list, then head over to Facebook or Twitter and let us know your favourite establishment.

Sit down, pour yourself a cuppa (or something stronger) and enjoy!

I is for:

Islay Inn, Glasgow, Scotland

Great Scottish pub with a greater selection of whiskies. Dance away the weekend with a great selection of live bands of pop along on a Monday or Thursday tonight for some traditional Scottish music.

Ice Bar, Taj Vivanta, Bangalore, India:

Unwind. Chill out. Then watch the night heat up at Ice, the high-energy nightspot at Vivanta by Taj – M G Road. The drinks flow easy in this chic, sleek metallic lounge. The bar opens up to the poolside where the chefs keep the Teppanyaki coming to tame hungry revellers. 

 I Bar, The Park Hotel, Bangalore, India: 

I-Bar spells mystery and luxury. It offers the widest range of liquors and guarantees a perfect evening with wines, champagnes, cognac, world spirits, or finest malts. The glasses will keep clinking! 

J is for:

The Jura Hotel, Jura, Scotland:

Situated just yards away from our distillery, the Jura hotel is the hub of the island community. With a great selection of food and a daily ‘catch of the day’ special, this Hotel is a great place to dine whilst on the island. You can relax and enjoy your meal in the lounge before heading through to the pub for a drink, dance or why not challenge the locals to a game of pool. The bar even has its very own exclusive Jura whisky that you won’t be able to try anywhere else. 

Jingling Geordie, Edinburgh, Scotland:

An old established bar nestling unobtrusively in Fleshmarket Close, Edinburgh. Its small frontage belies the actual size of the bar which extends to the right as far as the end of the building where it opens out to an area of comfortable fixed seating surrounded by traditional leaded windows.

Jolly Judge, Edinburgh, Scotland:

Cosy and inviting, the pub boasts traditional pub food and a great selection of whiskies and beers – all in a historic setting, only two minutes away from Edinburgh castle.
