traditional pubs
Historic British bars
Traditional pubs are British drinking establishments that preserve older customs and décor—real ale, wooden furnishings, no television screens, and an emphasis on conversation over entertainment.
The term distinguishes these from modern gastro pubs or chain establishments: We found a traditional pub with a proper fireplace and locals at the bar.
They typically serve simple food and maintain a neighborhood character.
