I found this guidebook to be quite useful during our recent trip to Bermuda. Tom Moore's Tavern was as excellent as you promised. Lonely Planet has a great index, and the maps were expecially helpful.

I especially appreciated all the historical and cultural details, and found that it was an invaluable...
