Since it's summer time we are looking for a nice place to sit outside and drink beer. The Double Locks in Exeter, England offers just that, a stunning view of the locks and a solid selection beers and ciders. Oh, did I mention the only way to get to the pub is via the water. Awesome.

Hidden amongst the streets of San Francisco, the Bourbon & Branch isn't so much a pub as it is a speakeasy, but it offers incredible cocktails and classes on how to make them! In addition, hidden behind a false bookshelf is the entrance to ANOTHER SPEAKEASY! That craftiness alone makes it our Pub of the week.

This Times Square restaurant and bar hosts "live entertainment and spooky special effects" inspired not just by Jekyll & Hyde, but the entire gothic horror canon. Like any good Times Square tourist destination, there is a gift shop, too — selling T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and… "insect and butterfly collections."

This tap house and wine bar, boasts 55 beers on tap and another 200 varieties available in bottles. That should at least have you coming back for a couple of days.

This strange pub in Cornwall, is supposedly named after a legend where the landlord went to the well and instead of water drew up a bucket of blood. Apparently there was a dead guy at the bottom of the well. I can drink to that!

This dark corner of the world is in Porland, Oregon where the bar itself may send you to the edge of madness.

The Pedal Pub is nothing new, but this particular one in Bend, Oregon does an excellent job of keeping the microbreweries in business. Keep up the good work!
