STEEPED in history, the Irish pub has long been a place to gather, greet friends and sip a pint or two.
From impromptu trad music sessions to bantering with the bar staff, Irish pubs and landlords around the world strive to recreate Ireland's famous céad míle fáilte.
And they must be doing something right when it comes to delivering a taste of home, with more than half of Irish people visit an Irish pub when they're abroad.
From Glasgow to Greenwich, Manchester to Milton Keynes, Liverpool to Leeds and beyond, Britain is home to some great Irish pubs.
Now you've a chance to make sure your local is named one of the world's best.
Irish Pubs Global have kicked off their annual search for the best Irish pubs and hospitality services worldwide - including the best Irish pub in Britain.
