Pubs are typically found in towns and cities across Britain, many are part of the local community and provide a social space for those who live nearby. They are a place to meet with friends, watch sports, drink alcohol and play a variety of games.
The drinks served in most pubs include draught beer and cider. Wine, spirits and soft drinks are also available. Some pubs are restaurants where food is served.
Food in a pub is typically inexpensive to mid-range priced and is usually of good quality. It can be a traditional meal such as pie, sausage and mash or something more exotic like fish and chips or steaks.
Those who work in pubs can often be a lot of fun to hang out with. They are often a great source of knowledge about the pub and can be the best place to find out what is going on.
A great pub should have a very varied and good selection of beers on draught and in bottles. It should be stocked with a range of styles and preferably with tasting notes so that you can try it before you buy.
It is also a great idea to check the beer menu and ask the bar staff what they recommend for you to try. They will probably have tasted everything and know which ones they are proud of so should be able to help you choose the right one for you.
