pcock Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 The pub is like a massive part of life for loads people in britain, do you have the same thing in america? silly name on the front, all smell the same, open from midday till midnight or is it more like bars and other shit over there?

Alzado Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 more like bars and shit. some local neighborhood bars are similar to pubs and serve the same function, but they aren't really the same and we really don't have pubs as you understand them. the only pubs we do have are gimmicky places that style themselves as "English style" or "Irish style" pubs. But they really aren't true pubs and never could be because they don't have the surrounding cultural understanding of what a pub is to make them truly such.

FLA FUR BIS FLE Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 this one old historic town near me has a few really old "pubs" that still function. Called the Fife & Drum, Coat of Arms etc. I'd say they are about as authentic of a pub that you are going to find in the states, otherwise it's just loads of hole in the wall bars. My favorite is called CRACKERS.

Well, I mean, theres all kinds of bars that have regulars, especially in small towns here in the states. Theres got to be more than just that? Is it just really extreme? I always thought they were the same in some way. There are a ton of bars in the states that call themselves "pubs".

Guest ms-dos Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) if there aren't any minorities, it's probably a pub. if the food is edible, it's probably a pub. or if soccer is playing on the TV and it's not a 60 inch flat screen HDTV, it's a pub.
