Food and drink provide an essential sense of place. It's not just about having a great meal on vacation (let's be honest, that's possible almost everywhere). It's about the history and culture that brought that dish or brew to the table. It's about the trade routes and foreign conquests that layered cuisines and elixirs on top of each other.

A trip to the bar is rarely cheap, even with the euro down against the dollar. So for travelers heading out across the Atlantic this summer, or for those who are just curious, here are the top ten places where you can have a pint without spending your last dime along with the No. 1 location to avoid where the average brewski goes for $17.60.
