I’m just envisioning how much fun you must be at parties.

I'm not too sure what a pub even is, like some places around here do call itself a "pub" but I just kinda assume it's literally a bar, but maybe a bit more dine-in-like. Is that it?

Anyway I don't go to any local pubs/bars very often. Usually switch it up & go to other cities in the area. Pre-covid; I still haven't bothered since then yet

This is a pub. NO food only crisps and peanuts, maybe a jukebox and a fruit machine (one armed bandit or puggy if you are Scottish). Bare bleak and designed for drinking

Before covid I probably drank in my local like once a fortnight on average

Not necessarily, you get a lot of variety in pubs but they are basically the same as bars its just that they're often housed in really old buildings so maybe look a bit more 'traditional'. A lot of pubs have gone more dine in now to make more money which are sometimes called gastropubs but there's still a lot that are pretty basic drinking places, quite similar to dive bars over there

Never.

ONLY odd time I go into them was if on holiday I'd go into like country pubs now and then.
Otherwise, never really.

Not even for family occasions.

At present though, definitely not even more.

Short for public house. All they are are antique drinking establishments. Wetherspoons is the name of one of the more popular brands that offer food.

I feel that way about regular pubs but the more food-orientated ones (Wetherspoons and chain pubs) aren’t half-bad.

In my area their used to be 6 pubs and now there is only 1 left (and out of all of them it was the worst one). I never go in there, I just head to other towns near me and find a different pub or Wetherspoons.

I don't even think I have a local pub



I guess weatherspoons is the closest so it's that by default, but I rarely go there.
