Otherwise, usually I wouldn't.RedNevhttps://rednev-rearm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-66653745197094042222019-03-14T10:27:45.747+00:002019-03-14T10:27:45.747+00:00Alas, I don't know where a good pub is near me...Alas, I don't know where a good pub is near me (in the US), and so it is all about the beer. There are some good restaurant/bars near me, as I understand the discussion here. The closest I can think of is a local 'pub' of the Irish-American tilt. But, it is mostly a restaurant with a nice feel. Service tables downstairs and upstairs (with big screen tvs dominating upstairs), and the bar gets a little cramped and loud, but still fun on a Sunday evening for music.David Laveryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478169721888994748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-21588454594060885922019-03-14T09:57:15.685+00:002019-03-14T09:57:15.685+00:00For me it is a bit of both.

There are times when I want to go out somewhere quiet either with my book or with one or two friends and we want to go somewhere that serves superb beer. <br /><br />But there are also other times when I want to go somewhere for a chat and a bit of atmosphere. Those evenings I will go somewhere where the beer is below par, or even somewhere that only serves lager/Guinness. Usually this is if I am meeting a group of friends or just going somewhere hoping to chat to other people in the pub.

Ideally of course great pub and great beer is always a winner.

The risk of another dullish pint wouldn't persuade me to take the safer option next time in Bradford. retiredmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429804437739227082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-42976717310289256532019-03-12T16:08:58.151+00:002019-03-12T16:08:58.151+00:00Yes, the two polls seem to contradict each other, ...Yes, the two polls seem to contradict each other, although the question asked is somewhat different and obviously everyone puts their own slant on these things. <br /><br />I also suspect some people thought there was an ulterior motive behind my poll of having a go at micropubs and craft bars, which wasn't at all the intention. <br /><br />I've heard several people say "I don't care what the pub's like so long as the beer is good", but I do wonder just how many features of "pub hell" it would take to drive them elsewhere.<br /><br />Of course, realistically, the chances of finding brilliant beer in truly terrible pubs are remote, and realistically it's usually more a question of pubs that you simply don't find congenial.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-31700050399310052842019-03-12T15:27:56.998+00:002019-03-12T15:27:56.998+00:00That helps.That helps.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-23811912626258260432019-03-12T15:22:24.592+00:002019-03-12T15:22:24.592+00:00The definition of a good pub is whether or not the...The definition of a good pub is whether or not there is a pint of lager available for £1.99Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.com
