10th place - Dublin.
The love of the Irish for strong drinks has long become a "talk of the town", and it is not surprising that wonderful drinking establishments come across here at every step. Here is one of the most visited museums in Ireland - the museum of the famous Guinness beer. By the way, the name Guinness is known even to those who are not at all interested in beer - after all, the Guinness Book of Records was founded in 1955 by this particular brewing company.
9th place - Tokyo.
The capital of Japan has a huge number of bars decorated in different national styles: English bars, German bars, sports bars, karaoke bars and many wine establishments. The most popular beers here are Kirin, Sapporo and Asahi. Santory whiskey, which is produced by the Japanese company of the same name, which is the largest whiskey producer in the country, is also extremely popular. One of the most modern bars in Tokyo is Soho's Omotesando, located on the top floor of the CDI Aoyama Studios building. In addition to the rich selection of drinks, the bar impresses visitors with its curved aluminum walls and huge windows that offer stunning views of the city.
8th place - Amsterdam.
Here, too, there are many bars that receive visitors all seven days a week. The undoubted leaders in visiting lovers of strong drinks are the Red Light District and Rembrandt Square, where, in addition to numerous cafes and shops, there is also the largest LCD screen in Europe.
7th place - the largest city in Australia - Sydney.
Here tourists are invited by many old bars. So, the Hero of Waterloo bar has been serving its guests since 1845, and the Lord Nelson Hotel began its work even earlier - in 1841. The only drawback of these establishments is the relative high cost of drinks. A pint of beer will cost visitors no less than $8.
Madrid is in 6th place.
The capital of Spain offers its guests a wide variety of drinking establishments, many of which do not close until the morning. Alcohol prices are relatively low here: most bars offer beer for as little as $3-4. In the very center of Madrid is the famous historical bar Taberna Las Gabrieles, famous for its political discussions. On Tuesdays, this bar hosts a flamenco performance.
5th place belongs to the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere - the Brazilian Sao Paulo.
Its 15,000 bars and nightclubs are constantly inviting guests to have fun. Admission prices start at $20, while drink prices range from $1 to $10. But some clubs immediately include the cost of drinks in the entrance fee. In São Paulo, you can buy alcohol right on the street, but tourists are immediately warned that night walks through the streets in a state of pleasant drunkenness here can quickly end in trouble.
4th place is occupied by Prague, famous for its delicious beer, for which you will have to pay only one dollar here.
Beer connoisseurs say that in Prague beer is divided into good and very good. Therefore, you can not go to those places where prices are several times higher than usual - anyway, in cheaper places, beer will be just as tasty. The menu of most Prague bars is posted on the outside of the doors, and you can quickly get your bearings. One of the most popular places in Prague is the Lavka Bar and Club, where you can find a bar, a discotheque, and even a theater.
Honorary 3rd place goes to the Mexican resort city of Cancun, which is also one of the ten best resort cities in the world.
Plenty of bars and cafes offer liquor for as little as a dollar a serving. And the famous nightclub Coco Bongo surprises its guests with fantastic performances that are not inferior in their luxury to those that can be seen in Las Vegas.
On the 2nd place, surprisingly, settled Istanbul.
Tourists here are happy to be treated to excellent beer at a price of about $ 2 per mug. True, at the height of the season, when the influx of guests is very large, the price can increase significantly. In the Beyoglu district, located in the European part of Istanbul, there are especially many shops, cafes and restaurants. Some of the most famous are Dulcinea, Madrid and Kaktus.
1st place is occupied by Munich with its great beer, which they like to serve here in huge mugs.
The number of Munich beers is simply beyond description, and it is clearly impossible to try everything during a short vacation. Beer is drunk all year round in Munich, and at the end of September, the grandiose Oktoberfest begins here - the world's largest beer festival. During this celebration, each of Munich's breweries invites guests to their huge beer pavilions, which can hold up to 10,000 seats. The luxury tent Hofbräu has been especially popular for many years. Oktoberfest lasts about 16 days, ending on the first Sunday in October. During the rest of the year, the spirit of this holiday can be felt in places such as Lowenbrau Keller and Paulaner am Nockerberg.
