    The best pubs I have ever been to are ones you stumble on to.

    Have a good trip Mikey. We're heading down there in November.

    I have to agree but disagree.

    The best pubs are the ones you just WANDER into, but stumble OUT of.

    Excellent point!

    I have found in my travels that the best pubs and restaurants are found by asking locals - they always know the best, least touristy places.

    Thumbs up

    It seems the TK in the Rio was replaced by another very simular chain bar called McFaddens. So you should give it a look for us!

    I like to try local beers when I travel, so one thing I do is look up my destination on brewpubzone.com and see if there is a local brew pub to try out, I've had a lot of fun with that.

    I've used that in the past. I also use The brewpub finder on the website All About Beer.
