Pub culture of UK

In England, pub culture is big. I mean, very big. I think pub is nearly everything for English.
Whenever I visited the same pub, the same people were there When I was in Totnes, UK. 
So every aspect of life in the UK can and will be influenced by pub culture, be it working life or social life the pub is prevalent for a lot of people.

This is England.
pub culture
The Pub is an institution. A gathering place. 


The English pub is a fundamental part of English culture and an institution in itself. It’s been the mainstay of English social life for hundreds of years and has arguably been one of the domestic tranquilizers ever invented – “The revolution starts at closing time!” Is the popular cry.
The English pub is very distinct from the American bar for all kinds of vague reasons. In the end the difference is largely a question of feel but there are certain indicators:
  1. A pub will often have carpet from wall to wall, ideal for trapping the traditional scents of tobacco, spilt beer and vomit.
  2. A pub is somewhere the same people go every day, year after year until they eventually collapse in a mental seizure from repeating the same old lines of conversation.
  3. A pub is a cool place to go and hang out. You don’t have to dress up or even be that social. The primary purpose is to drink pints of beer and get sentimental when a certain song comes on the juke box.


Pub night? Tonight?  :) Of course... but surely after final exam :(
