European Pubs
Pubs can be found all around the world, but nowhere are they more a way of life than in Western Europe where they are arguably more popular than bars and replace almost entirely the need for ‘diners’, while bringing with them a particular charm and quirkiness that locals and tourists enjoy equally.
European pubs offer a place to drink during the evening or during the later hours/earlier hours of the morning that can provide relatively cheap alcohol, cheap food, sound levels appropriate for talking and a range of other activities. In England, Germany, Ireland and many other countries European pubs are an institution and a way of life and much of the lifestyle in these areas revolves around them.
The term pub means ‘public house’ and this is very much a part of British culture. In the typical British European pub you will find a bar with drinks that also sell peanuts and crisps and possibly ‘pub lunch’. Other activities in the pub might also include pool, a ‘quiz machine’ (an automated pub quiz that works like an arcade game), slot machines, darts and entertainment such as live bands or organised pub quizzes. During the days and evenings on weekdays people might come here for food and for a few drinks, whereas during the weekends they become more like bars and provide venues that lend themselves to precursors of a night out with louder music and darker lighting.
European pubs in Britain have recently changed to a degree and become more like bras. The chain of pubs ‘Weatherspoons’ that offers discount beer and food has dominated many of the pubs in cities and towns, and the smoking ban and new licensing laws mean that in England at least pubs are open different hours and don’t provide the refuge for smokers that they once did. Still they remain an important part of English culture and their popularity means that you can find many ‘English-style’ and ‘Irish-style’ pubs around the world. For very traditional pubs that serve local ale, pasties and mead, be sure to visit Cornwall in the South.
A beer garden however is a more continental type of European pub. Beer garden comes from the German ‘biergarten’ which is where the concept originates from and means that the pub is essentially an open air area where drinks and food are served. These kinds of European pubs are particularly popular in areas of Southern Germany such as Bavaria and they will normally be a part of a larger drinking establishment such as a beer hall. Though they are most common in Southern Germany however, beer gardens exist throughout Western and Eastern Europe and are particularly popular in warmer European climates.
For travellers looking for cheap yet authentic European food, or for those who want to get some local atmosphere, European pubs or beer gardens are a great place to start.

Yup, european pubs are great places where you can spend your free time. I love having a beer or two in european pubs. One of my favorites is “Pub X”, in Amsterdam. It has lots of clients.
I’ve been looking for the meaning of pub for such a long time. Now I find out that it means “public house”. Oh well, it wasn’t that difficult =].
Unfortunately, some european pubs play the music loudly and you can’t really talk to other people. Hope they still get the meaning of the european pubs.
Irish European pubs are the real deal. If you wanna see our european pubs, definitely go for the irish ones. Ireland is the origin of the public houses. European pubs inspired from it. So make sure you make the wise choice.
It is true. European pubs have already replaced the diners. These are the places when people have fun now. I hope the european pubs’ number will grow. And I am sure they are also a good business idea.
European pubs have something special. All people seem to be friends with each other and that makes you feel really good. You can talk to anybody and not to be afraid that you’ll be rejected. Also, European pubs are great places where you can make a lot of friends if you are a social person that likes to talk and party.
I don’t think that exist any European pubs where you cannot have fun. :)
European pubs offer the greatest beer! Also, you can pick up chicks in european pubs :D. I met my actual wife in Sweden. There is one of the best european pubs, if you ask me. But I guess I’m saying that only because of my wife :D
When I think of the Irish, I think of a good pub. I have seen many pubs on TV but have never been to an actual one. I have been to many bars though. I have never thought of them serving food though. I guess that makes it even better though if they do serve food.
European pubs are nice locals. I don’t know if they can compare to diners, though. Diners were intended only as places to eat. European pubs aren’t only for eating. The music is different, for instance. Moreover, you can even dance in european pubs.
We went to a beer Garden when we were in Germany. I found it to be very relaxing and fun all at the same time. I really wanted to make this a part of my trip because I have heard so much about the German beer gardens. I would recommend going to one.
In my opinion, in european pubs, you can meet so many friendly people. It’s not like those house music clubs. In european pubs, people are friendly and tend to socialize a lot. I have always met nice people in these places. That’s what I like most about european pubs.
Ohh, I like so much to party.
All my friends say that I am a party animal. =)
European pubs are great places for your entertainment. I’ve made a lot of friends in these places.
Hmm …not to say that best bear I’ve ever drank, you’ll find in European pubs from Germany.
The picture above is how I think of European pubs. I am sure that the pubs are really not like this. But, all the same they look like they would be very homey and fun to drink in. I wish the bars over here were more like that.
I simply love European pubs. There you can have a great time, anytime.
There are European pubs with different themes where you can a lot of fun. Also, like you said, European pubs are great places where you might start close friendships.
I don’t know any person that doesn’t like these places.
People at European pubs like to make you feel good. I don’t know why, but I guess is their only purpose. When strangers come to their country they like to be very hospitable.
European pubs are great places. There you are welcome and I’m sure that you’ll have a good time.
European pubs are great. I visited one every night while I was visiting a friend a few months ago. While I did not think that the food was all that great, I loved the beer. And the whole spirit of the place was great as well.
I would love to go to a good European pub. I have heard much about beer gardens and think it would be fun just to sit around and relax in the beer garden after work. After a few drinks, order some food. Then head home. What a way to end the day.
I have never been much of a bar person in the states. But have heard many good things about European pubs. I would love to travel to Europe one day and when I do, visiting a pub will be on my list. I would love to be able to compare the European pub with the American Bar.
I don’t like European pubs at all.
People there are very noisy and most of the time European pubs are very crowded. I don’t like European pubs because I see them like places where old fat men gather around and drink a lot of bear. Also after they get drunk make noise and fight each other.
I prefer restaurants or bars instead of European pubs. They are more peaceful and quite.
I always wondered what pub stood for. I would have never guessed public house though. I think that if you get to Europe one should visit a pub to get the feel of it. When I think of the Irish a pub always comes to mind.
If I were to choose a public place where I can go out with my friends I would definitely choose from these European pubs. There you can feel very good.
When visited Germany, every night I partied. I made a lot of friends and every time I come back to Germany I go out with them. European pubs are great places for making friends. And the atmosphere there is incredible.
Indeed, European pubs have changed. Like you said they are more like bars. There isn’t that atmosphere of a real pub.
In my opinion European pubs must be places where you can come with your friends, drink beer and have fun. Now, when you go in a pub all you can see are some strange faces that come there just to show how cool they are.
While backpacking in Europe, I went to many pubs. It was a cheap form of entertainment for me. And the food was pretty reasonable as well. I needed something that did not cost me an arm and a leg.
I have never visited any European pubs. I heard they are places where you can have fun, but I wasn’t curious about.
In my opinion European pubs are like any other places where people come to drink alcohol. I don’t like to drink. I also don’t suffer cigarettes, smoke and people who smoke.
Rosalinda, European pubs are not just places where people get drunk. European pubs are great places where you can have a lot of fun. Also, European pubs are places where you can make friends. I tied a lot of close and trusting friendships. I’ve had beautiful moments in these places and i don’t agree with what you said.
I believe that European pubs are very popular in Germany. Germans prefer to go in a pub, rather than in a night club.
I loved the atmosphere at their European pubs. Germans really know how to party. I can’t wait to go back to this country.
Have anyone visited any European pubs in Romania?
I visited Romania last summer. I was curious how Romanians know how party. I was impressed to discover they really know how to enjoy their free time and how to party.
Besides their night clubs I visited 2 European pubs. One was simply called ‘Pub’s’ pub.
European pubs offer a place to drink and to eat, but also a good place for having fun. Indeed, European pubs are cheap locals. This is a bonus for them. But I don’t judge the places for what they serve, but for the atmosphere. So, I recommend going wherever you want, but somewhere to feel good.
I don’t like that European pubs from Britain have become more like bars. I used to love the atmosphere there. I have a lot of memories around these places. Those European pubs were exactly on my taste. I hope they haven’t disappeared entirely. I will be mad if that happens. :D
I haven’t visited many European pubs. I don’t like very much the atmosphere there. I prefer to go to coffee shops or bars. They are more stylish. European pubs are not at all on my taste.
European pubs are my favorite places to spend my free time. I go there almost every weekend. I have a group of close friends that know how to party. Whenever we want to go out and have a drink we visit one of our favorite from all European pubs in our city. I admit we always have a great time.
I haven’t visited many European pubs so far. I like very much the atmosphere there but I haven’t had the change to visit more European pubs. I’ve been only to Germany so far. This summer I want to go to Czech Republic. Since I was young I’ve wanted to visit this country.
I love European pubs everywhere i go. Even if I go to Germany or Romania or anywhere else I like the atmosphere. They are a little bit different but I like that.
People when they go to European pubs they forget about their problems and they only want to feel good. That’s why the atmosphere there is so fantastic.
I have been to many European pubs. I think the atmosphere is very nice. Friendly and all. I enjoyed going to pubs there. An opportunity that everyone should have.
