Decent beer, a pool table that costs 50p, and a playlist that went from Curtis Mayfield to a Portishead mix I'd never heard before.
That will do.

A great place.

They'll sell you a beer as long as you look vaguely 17ish too ๐Ÿ˜‰

It's a trap; prepare to be press-ganged into a life of sailing the seven seas, pilliaging and looting, with rum, sodomy and the cat'o'nine tails your unhappy bed fellows...

Pop some lemons in your pocket, the scurvy can play havoc with your teeth.

Or wiminz, or young people, or in fact anything that prevents you looking like you're sucking a lemon while complaining about the price if beer and various bodily ailments.

He obviously went in the lounge.
A real man would head for the bar.

Not even live music?

They might have become a thing of the past but there was a time when the pub piano was an indispensable requirement in every successful pub.

Live music yes, but that computer designed rubbish that gets played by the x factor generation today, no thanks. Maybe i would appreciate it more if I tried alcopops and pretend beverages that the youngsters think are real drinks

I don't think Curtis Mayfield had a computer. Not sure though.

I'm sorry - a pool table that requires monies to operate?

There's a long British tradition which links drinking with music.

Of course there's also a long tradition of miserable gits who wallow in their miserableness ๐Ÿ™‚

There's 3 pubs where I live, there was 5 but 2 (with music, live sports on telly, pool tables), both closed. The busiest of the 3 remaining has good beer, a good landlord, real fires & lots of good crack, no music, telly or pool. But there again, people are good conversationists round these parts.
