🍺 ENGLISH PUBS

🌟 An English pub (public house) is a unique cultural phenomenon. Originally pubs used to serve only beer and spirits but nowadays you can get there a snack or some hot food as well. Many pubs pride themselves on their rich history that can date back to the Middle Ages.

🫡The main feature of pubs that makes them different from American bars is the atmosphere of "home from home". There is no waiter service in pubs, and the staff usually know the regular customers. There are pub games available, such as darts, and for many Britons a pub is place where they can socialise and meet their friends.

🫡Pubs usually have small windows and dim lighting which also enhances the cozy atmosphere. Children are not allowed to visit pubs, and in the past women were also rarely seen drinking in a pub.
