Captain Pub

Annecy


It's best not to examine too closely this convivial boozer's Irish pub credentials. But after a genuine welcome and finding a seat in the warren of convivial nooks, it's impossible not to feel at home. Huddle up for a dozen beers on tap and scores of whiskies and cocktails like 'Blue Champagne'; you can enjoy premium views from canalside outdoor tables.

Unable to peel yourself away from a comfy spot beneath one of Captain Pub's centuries-old archways? Alpine fare such as fondue, and even Irish stew, are offered at meal times (noon to 3pm and 7pm to 11.30pm on weekdays, and nonstop at weekends).
