Britain‘s pub culture is unlike anything else in the world. From the Victorian grandeur of a City of London boozer to the sun-drenched beer garden of a Surrey countryside retreat, the best pubs in the UK balance centuries of tradition with a restless appetite for seasonal cooking and craft drinks. London, in particular, has seen a remarkable revival in destination pub dining — where the quality of the kitchen rivals any standalone restaurant. Across England and Scotland, the story is the same: neighbourhood pubs evolving into something far more ambitious without losing the warmth and ease that makes them such essential institutions. Metropolitan Pub Company — aka Metro Pubs — sits at the centre of this movement, with a portfolio of unique, character-rich venues from Mayfair to Glasgow. Big believers in local pubs being just that, each site is shaped by its own neighbourhood, its own crowd, and its own particular charm. Explore the best pubs in the UK from Metro Pubs, book on OpenTable, and earn loyalty points for every single reservation.
