English pubs

Pub - a traditional place for drinking beer. Even if the pub and a remake, its distinctive features are the low ceilings, dark wood paneling and unfunny cartoons in frames. But the drink in such a situation everyone agrees: not only the gentlemen from the clubs of St. James and Supporter, but financiers City, Prince Charles and secular girls (in the city, by the way, almost every girl - by beer belly). Only with the pubs to behave cautiously. For example, in England, beer is too diluted. If the well-known beer brand, not the fact that it will be necessary quality. Sometimes it is better to try something a little less untwisted. English classes - countless. Among other things, beer here is strawberry, apricot, ginger, cinnamon, and even garlic.

British pub - a paradise for beer lovers. For foreign tourists visiting British landmarks such as the pub is in second place after the contemplation of changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. But the problem of finding a British pub in the same London is not as simple as it seems. The fact that there, where the main tourist routes you will find this pub is unlikely to succeed. The easiest way to find this pub is this - if you already have a familiar Londoners, just ask, to what they usually go to the pub. If you do not have friends, you can try to find a real British pub on their own and with a high degree of probability, the so-called "local pub" (local pub) you'll find in any residential area (in the tourist areas of London, people almost do not live). The appearance of the local pub may seem deliberately simple: sign and announcement of the fact that here you can drink, eat, play and watch live football broadcast. However, it is this institution and will thus present the local bar, where the real Brits playing darts, billiards and a fight with slot machines.

Yielding to the stories about the unique atmosphere that prevails in the British pub, many foreign tourists say that the only good beer Know thus in this British pub, you can say, "Yes, I was in Britain". And they're right. However, it is the foreigners, not knowing the rituals of the British pub, get into awkward situations. The most common situation is embarrassing ignorance of the fact that there the local pubs - self-service. You can sit at any number of table and wait for the waiter, but the beer you no one will. Ignorance of this feature is so common, that in London, among the tourists visiting the country for the first time, even carried out a sociological study of this phenomenon. Faster than all that figured in the pub self American. It took 45 seconds. The record also set a group of Italian tourists who were waiting for the waiter as much as 49 minutes. However, they are not bored, busy discussing the latest round of Serie A soccer.

In the usual pub - up to ten beers on draft. One of the main principles of conduct in the local pub is the bar that the approach taken by one, two - large groups of people nervous about bartenders. And climb the queue useless - in determining who to whom he held, British bartenders are unmatched. The ideal situation would be this: each of us in turn buys the beer at all. This method is called pivopitiya "round". The main disadvantage of drinking round the fact that a drink a couple cups as you planned, do not get - have a drink as much as people in the company. If you intend to pay each just for the beer, then the book should be in isolation. If you order at all, the bartender will issue a joint account. If a bartender with a delayed implementation of the order, never, especially in the evening, do not ring a bell (usually it hangs on the wall where the rack ends). This bell can only call bartenders, signaling overstayer visitors that the bar closes and the order should hurry.
