During September, National World will be celebrating food and drink across its 139 titles including The News - and I will be showcasing some of the best places to visit based on reader opinions and our personal favourites. As part of our food and drink month, I asked our readers their favourite places to grab a drink – and the votes came rolling in. From Abarbistro to Spice Island Inn to Rapscallions, there is a range of places worth a visit.
Here are 15 places in the city that are perfect spots for a drink:
5. Sherlock's Bar

8. The Rose in June - Copnor
With a massive garden that stretches up to the railway line, and an outdoor bar, The Rose in June is a great place for a pint in the sun. It was previously picked by a number of readers as their favourite pub garden. Photo: Google Maps
