COVINGTON. Looking for an authentic British pub experience? Save on airfare and make the short jaunt to Cock & Bull in Covington instead. The cozily appointed pub is decorated with dark wood and flags of the United Kingdom, and as you'd expect, the beer is high-quality and plentiful. Eighteen imported draft beers and many more bottled choices range from ales to ciders, stouts to bitters, with everything in between. Popular choices from the menu include a spicy version of bangers & mash, along with fish & chips (of course). Items more amenable to the American palate (the Queen's Nachos, for instance) are also here.

COVINGTON. With a chic rooftop patio that offers superb views of the Cincy skyline, this hip, relaxed bar and restaurant is a Covington favorite and worth the short trip across the river. Try an acclaimed cosmopolitan or one of the 20 varieties of scotch at the 40-foot downstairs bar. If the weather allows, order a meal on the patio overlooking the Main Strasse ­ Steak Nora, sesame-seared salmon, and vegetarian pesto pasta are a cut above typical bar food. Most nights, live jazz provides a welcome backdrop to animated conversation on the terrace.

MOUNT ADAMS. Cozy, warm, and adorned with album sleeves and model trains, this venerable pub is appreciated by locals for its pleasant patio (with a firepit) and stellar lineup of local jazz, acoustic, and blues musicians every night of the week.

MOUNT LOOKOUT. This relaxed neighborhood hangout caters to college grads and young, professional 30-somethings.
