J's Mum Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 My local pub has just been refurbished and it looks really nice but slightly basic so it lead me to thinking what do other people expect in a pub or what would you like to see in your local or any pub? Is there anything that would bring you to a certain pub rather than an other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esme Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 the main reason I go to a pub is because of the beer, if it's from one of the big brewing companies or the owner can't run a cellar properly and look after the product then I'm not that interested no matter what else they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worjackie Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Good beer, pleasant atmosphere, no music, bandits or deafening TV, and no chav parents with screaming kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 If it doesn't have huge SKY SPORTS adverts draped from the walls of the outside (or England flags) then it gets me through the door. Then its the choice of beers. If there's no ales (guest or regular) then I'm back out the door. Note to publicans - Guinness and John Smiths are not acceptable.

My favourite local pub is the Coach & Horses at Dronfield. The pub was until a few years ago a complete shed and in the process of being closed down. It is now in the hands of Sheffield Football Club and has been tastefully decorated without resorting to the standard pub kit and cheap fittings. It also has half a dozen Thornbridge beers, "proper" cider, and imported beers (not filth brewed here under licence). Food is excellent and freshly produced. Staff are excellent and friendly. No TV. No Juke box. No chavs. No quizzes. Near perfect It is a shining example for anyone looking to turn around a failing pub. Nearly forgot. They sell Yorkshire crisps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loubbe Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Real ales, wine that comes in a bottle not a tap, fresh slices of lemon and lime, a good choice of soft drinks, clean glasses (!) and clean toilets. All pretty basic but lots of pubs can't manage this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 The beer, the beer and the beer. I can even put up with a side order of attitude if the beer is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
