For me one of my favourite bars in the world is LA cafe in Manila.

I also love Ipanema bar in orchid towers.

There is an awesome bar in shangri la hotel in Surabaya which I go to regularly. Its called desperados.

Fave spots over the years - Clark Quay in Singapore, Shekou(China), Haarlem(Netherlands), Taichung in Taiwan also surprised me by being a lot of fun and great locals.

But After 6 weeks in Saudi I'm always really pleased to get a pint anywhere! Even that scabby pub upstairs in Bahrain airport! Doing an extended swing this time..... Roll on April 30th!!

If you're impressed by Taichung, you should check out Kaoshuing,s Wufu Lu for once, that,s way better. You get there within an hour or so with their high speed train.

Red Parrot in Vung Tau.

Also agree about Desperado's in the basement of the Shangri La, Surabaya. I just found the 'morning after' pictures...

I always thought that "scabby pub" in Bahrain was a little spot of heaven after not only the usual 6 weeks in the land of Saud, but on a Indian lay barge as well

Le Cabanon was a welcome venue in Nha Trang. Nice menu and real men's San Miguel Pale Pilsen.... not that Lite <deleted>.

Goodies at Smiling Hills on Batam Island is a good place to catch up with guys in the game.

Any of the bars (or perhaps all of them) in Okpo S. Korea

The usual spots in Singapore, Four Floors etc etc

Any of the Kampung Bule bars on Batam.

I second Goodies in Indonesia is excellant and also Balcony bar on Copacabana Beach Rio de Janiero.
