The traditional English pub...

I really hope my kids get to experience it one day, a pint with their old man and a shared bag of pork scratchings would make me a happy chappy. Doesn't look like alot of these places are gonna reopen and cease trading this side, breaking out the homebrew kit and converting the garage is a goer hope y'all are well!

Sad deal. We were in one while we were over there in some small town that had been in continuous operation for 250 years.

Hey mouldy, hope it works out for those pubs

The Pubs will have to open up at some point. All they do is drink over there.

Its an old viking past time

I want to eat some boiled mutton and potatoes, get drunk, and head-butt someone over a soccer game.

That and slaying dragons. My Great, Great Uncle on my Father's side once took down a Wyvern with a Merovingian battle axe.

When did you visit my local!?

I was a fan of the lil pub in the city we stayed in when there

We used to have the pig and whistle. Great vibe and variety of beer.

Do they have clotted cream and scones at the pubs?

How does the traditional English pub compare to the traditional texans bar?

Bangers and mash sound great right now!

No.....

I used to get really [censored] up in that place

Haven't we all. Free cover!

That’s at Wimbledon and maybe that ponce Ramsey’s place.

Pubs during the daytime are family oriented. On average, I’d say the food is better at the average pub vs the average bar. There are exceptions on both sides of the pond.

Evenings are for drinking at the pub, you might get a bag of crisps with your several pints of beer; people will look at you weird if you are wasting your time eating instead of drinking at a pub after 8pm or so.

You go eat after the pub has closed at the local curry place.

That’s impressive

I am coming over there this summer to enjoy a pint or two!

We destroyed our culture as well. I’m sure what’s next will be just as fun though.

Good question. I've never been across the pond.

You think they 2 step over there lol

Don't they drink their beer room temp ?

I don't know if it's true, but someone told me that the difference between a pub and a bar is that a pub has food and beer, but no liquor. A bar has liquor and beer, but food is optional.

I'm not sure but they don't put ice in any of their other drinks.

I go every couple of years to see family. Late 80s/early 90s it was all the rage. Started to get popular with George Strait in the late 80s when he got sort of an underground following, then it just exploded with BRC and that weirdo from Oklahoma. Then peaked with that Cotton Eye Joe remix club hit in the early/mid 90s. I’m sure it’s still around, but the two step scene across the pond isn’t what it once was.

Most pubs do have liquor, but it’s the basics (gin, vodka, whisk(e)y, rum, rarely tequila) But, people go to pubs to socialize as a community and drink beer. This has changed somewhat over the years, especially with the ladies. They are ordering more mixed drinks and less beer. If you are a bloke and don’t have a pint in your hand, people will look at you weird. Drinking a straight up whisk(e)y would also be acceptable, but you might be politely asked to leave if you request ice in it.

Don't forget to try some Shepard Pie in one. Years ago in a off the path pub in London I had some and it was the best I have ever had.

Nothing a little penicillin won't fix, I hope????

This is Merica. You guys need to speak English.

The older you are the more scone clotting you get.
