BEST SMOKE-FREE PUB: The Marlborough Hotel
EDITOR’S NOTE: Yes, yes, we realise (just about) every pub is smoke-free these days. But the Marlborough gets brownie points for getting in there early.
The Marly, as it’s affectionately known, is just about guaranteed to suit anyone’s style. Here you’ll find everything from sophisticated dining to casual, laidback happy hours, not to mention the rocking dance floor down below. Special events include the Marly markets, art exhibitions, student nights and even the odd Swimwear parade to keep the lads happy. (Bianca de Meyrick)
