Beautiful Boozers

Had enough of scrolling through Google results, only to find uninspiring places that don’t even look like pubs anymore? We know the feeling, and that frustration is exactly why we came up with Beautiful Boozers!

The truth is, too many of the UK's 28,000 pubs (and London's 3,500) have had their character systematically stripped away, with original features torn out and cosy corners opened up into bland dining areas. What's left often feels more like a restaurant than a pub.

But the real beauties are still out there – waiting to be discovered. The Beautiful Boozers app does the legwork for you, showcasing only the best, where heritage lives on. Here’s why visiting these pubs matters more than ever.

WHY IT MATTERS

These aren’t just drinking spots – they’re living museums and community hubs. But too many are closing or losing their unique character. And when that happens, we don’t just lose a building – we lose centuries of heritage and those special places where strangers connect and become friends, even if only for one night.

The good news? Every time you choose to visit a Beautiful Boozer over a generic, modern pub, you're helping keep it alive!

DISCOVER PUBS WITH HERITAGE

From cosy snugs to historic gems, our choice of pubs is inspired by the rich heritage of the past – proper old-school charm, Victorian grandeur, Edwardian elegance and inter-war classics – the kind of places where history still feels part of the present. No fillers, no bland modern refurbs.

BEST PUBS NEAR YOU IN LONDON & BEYOND

Visiting London or wandering the UK, from a hike in Cornwall to a cosy inn in the Cotswolds? Or heading to Dublin, Amsterdam or Krakow? With your location enabled, the Beautiful Boozers app cuts through the noise, showing you just the best pubs.

CURATED GUIDES & TAGS

Our themed guides make discovering easy – with 19 covering London and 10 across the UK, there’s no shortage of inspiration. From the oldest haunts to rural gems, each guide brings together the finest pubs in one carefully curated collection. If you're after well-kept beer, you'll want to dive into the Ale Trail guide.

To help you find that perfect setting for you and your beer buddy (whether that’s a friend or your beloved pooch!), you can filter your results by tags like fireplace, beer garden, cosy, dog-friendly, sports TV and many more.
