[iggymiggy]

anyone know if this is available in any bar

Why don't you try trip advisor if no one comes up trumps here with your enquiry? Never been to Sorrento but loads of bars in the Med and Adriatic where Brits go are stocking loads of our grog. Sure you will find Strongbow somewhere in Sorrento. My wife likes Cider and never goes thirsty except in Normandy. She doesn't like their cider

If you can't find Strongbow I bet you get Magners here.

Just type in "British Bars in Sorrento" on Google. Quite a selection.You won't go dry for sure. :-)

I think you need to be careful about what time of year you intend to visit - Sorrento is mostly shut down or 'local trade' outside the summer season, so yer statutory Irish Pub might be mothballed till March / April. And you do not want to go drinking in Naples, not without a bodyguard. Even with a bodyguard.

Just as a sideline question, I am going to Sorrento next year on holiday, (with a tour group), and thought I would take the train into Naples myself for the day.
Is it really a dangerous as everyone seems to say?

^^Naples, dangerous? Not in my experience. Mind you, it was a few years ago and I did have the advantage of being with some local friends...

Jenny, I would be very cautious especially exiting the railway stations which are absolute thieves kitchens. Last time I changed trains there, they were revamping the old central station which was still taking trains full of unwary people into a rather abandoned demolition site, with the 'proper' new station a good brisk walk through down the road through a poor and quite dodgy neighbourhood.
At the central station pickpockets hang especially around the ticket machines - I had a guy try to dive between me and my credit card (he didn't win).
Naples has always been a bit lairy but in the last decade the influx of migrants from the north African route has contributed to street problems in many of the Italian towns, especially those on a train route to Rome.
It's a shame as the museum is meant to be brilliant, but if you are going to visit I suggest you do so in a group or with a tour.
Sorry to sound negative but safety first.

Mosaic. Appreciate your thoughts.
I don't want to see it that much, - that I would be left feeling afraid. Not worth it.
Shame, as I probably won't be in that part of the world again.
