British Pubs Different From Typical Bars and Cafes in Other Country

British pubs play an important social and community role in neighborhoods as a place for socializing and drinking beer and spirits with friends and strangers in a classless and comfortable environment. While pubs remain distinctive community institutions, their offerings have expanded in recent decades from just beer, spirits and snacks to also include wine, coffee and hot food, making them less distinctive than in the past. Pubs maintain a special character through informal service at the bar rather than waiters, and each having its own unique name and sign.

fashioned associations.
