What do you look for in an ideal pub?

[taleofbluehalves]

As per thread title.

I'd say:-

Nice country location with good parking.

Definitely no juke Box, Sky tv one arm bandits or pool table.

Nice attractive bar area with hanging brassware.

Low beamed old worlde ceiling.

No kids allowed.

Red thick pile carpet.

Good beer/food at a reasonable price.

Large blazing log fire in winter.

Bar staff must be under forty have tight fitting tops and big knockers.


I think that just about covers it.

Local ales

Minimal food - maybe some pork pies and baps/rolls - no cooking food stink
No kids
Friendly pub cat
One room with Sky sport if you want it
Juke box (free) full of classics
Good choice of beers from UK and beyond
Quiz now and again
Comfy chairs to sink into
Roaring fire in winter

It's amazing how posts from the 1970's can appear on here at random.

I didn't even know my Dad had internet access in heaven!

 

[unexpected item]

Exposed brick walls and eating food off bits of wood.

You just don't see enough of that these days.

 

[Blue Til Death]

No kids
Near a football stadium
opens early
shuts late
clean bogs
No food (only crisps n shit)
Decent selection of ale
Bar staff that serve instead of chatting amongst themselves or going AWOL
Bar staff who remember who is next in the queue

Think that covers everything on my wish list
