The pub (short for public house) is an English institution. England is awash with historic pubs, where you can sit all evening with a pint of ale, bitter, stout, or cider and soak up the local color (but not the smoke, since smoking is no longer allowed in pubs). No matter how tiny the village or town, you always find at least one pub. In London and larger towns, you can do a pub crawl, walking (upright) from pub to pub and sampling the diverse brews on tap. Although you can get a hard drink at both bars and pubs, when you’re in a pub, you’re better off confining yourself to beer.
Parliament has instituted the strict hours that most pubs adhere to:
Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 10:30 p.m. Americans, take note: In a pub, you never tip the bartender; the best you can do is offer to buy him or her a drink, an acceptable practice in England. Ten minutes before closing, a bell rings, signaling that the time has come to order your last round.
