The other, more private, rooms had no serving bar—they had the beer brought to them from the public bar. There are a number of pubs in the Midlands or the North which still retain this set up, though these days the beer is fetched by the customer themself from the taproom or public bar. One of these is The Vine, known locally as The Bull and Bladder, in Brierley Hill near Birmingham, another the Cock at Broom, Bedfordshire a series of small rooms served drinks and food by waiting staff. In the Manchester district the public bar was known as the "vault", other rooms being the lounge and snug as usual elsewhere. By the early 1970s there was a tendency to change to one large drinking room as breweries were eager to invest in interior design and theming. England's third lockdown to suppress the spread of the Coronavirus began to be eased on Monday 12 April.
Pubs can now open their gardens for table service. Groups of up to six people or two households can meet. Pubs can now offer takeaway alcoholic drinks as well as food and non-alcoholic drinks. Off-licenses can continue selling takeaways and deliveries.
Breweries and cidermakers, if licensed, can also continue selling takeaways and deliveries. The next stage of easing is currently due to take place on Monday 17 May when pub interiors will reopen. From 7 August, if conditions allow, there will be no legal limits on the number of people who can meet others in places like pubs and restaurants.
Masks will also no longer be required in hospitality settings. All businesses currently closed - such as nightclubs - will be allowed to reopen subject to ongoing risk assessments. A "country pub" is simply a rural drinking establishment, though the term has acquired a romantic image typically of thatched roofs and whitewashed stone walls.
As with urban pubs, the country pub can function as a social and recreational centre, providing opportunities for folk to meet, exchange news, and cooperate on local charitable events. Those country pubs located on main routes may once have been coaching inns, providing accommodation or refreshment for travellers before the advent of motorised transport. There's no night tube right now and clubs are still closed, but that doesn't mean we can't have after-hours fun in London.

You're not required to implement every action listed in this guidance. Your updated risk assessment should consider which mitigations are likely to be most effective and appropriate for your business. This will depend on the different ways the virus can spread (set out in Section 1.2 - Managing risk) and which present the greatest risk in your workplace.
It will also depend on the nature of your business, including the size and type of business, how it's organised, operated, managed and regulated. You should ensure that your risk assessment can explain the mitigations in place and why they have been chosen. You should monitor any measures you introduce to make sure they continue to protect customers, visitors and workers. From then, the Rule of Six will return - which means up to six people, or two households, can meet outdoors, including at beer gardens, cafes or restaurants with outdoor seating spaces. Pubs have a long history in Canada, with some still operating after 200 years, like the Olde Angel Inn in Niagara-on-the-Lake. A fake "English looking" pub trend started in the 1990s, built into existing storefronts, often run by corporate pub firms.
Most universities in Canada have campus pubs which are central to student life, serving food and drink as well as hosting social events. Often these pubs are run by the student's union and at some universities, a budget is reserved for course pub nights. The gastropub concept has caught on, as traditional British influences are to be found in many Canadian dishes. Aside from pubs, the term bar can refer to themed drinking establishments, sports bars, or cocktail bars, or to the physical counter in a pub. Tavern was previously a popular term, though it has become somewhat antiquated. From 24 December pubs are only allowed to serve on a takeaway or delivery basis - and from 7 June 2021, that are allowed to open for outdoor dining and/or drinking.

In Ireland, pubs are known for their atmosphere or "craic".
In Irish, a pub is referred to as teach tábhairne ("tavernhouse") or teach óil ("drinkinghouse"). Live music, either sessions of traditional Irish music or varieties of modern popular music, is frequently featured in the pubs of Ireland. Pubs in Northern Ireland are largely identical to their counterparts in the Republic of Ireland except for the lack of spirit grocers. The pub took the concept of the bar counter to serve the beer from gin palaces in the 18th century.
Until that time beer establishments used to bring the beer out to the table or benches, as remains the practice in beer gardens and some other drinking establishments in Germany. It was not until the 19th century that pubs as we know them today first began to appear. With the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, many areas of the United Kingdom were transformed by a surge in industrial activity and rapid population growth.
There was huge demand for beer and for venues where the public could engage in social interaction, but there was also intense competition for customers. In North America, the lodging aspect of the word "inn" lives on in hotel brand names like Holiday Inn, and in some state laws that refer to lodging operators as innkeepers.

Since aerosol spread is a greater risk in venues that are indoors, involve close contact between many people, and have loud music, it's important to ensure you provide adequate ventilation. If ventilation levels are poor, you should consider steps to improve the flow of fresh air. From Monday 26 April, hospitality venues such as cafés, pubs and restaurants can reopen, along with tourist accommodation, Nicola Sturgeon has confirmed.
Some venues have invested vast amounts of money to accommodate guests outside before the government's planned reopening of outdoor hospitality on 12 April if the coronavirus data allows it. Punch Pubs, for example, invested £1m in its beer gardens and outside spaces.

Concerns about the effects of cigarette smoke inhalation first surfaced in the 1950s and ultimately led many countries to ban or restrict smoking in specific settings, such as pubs and restaurants. Early in 2004, the Republic of Ireland became the first country in the world to ban smoking in all enclosed public areas. Scotland was the first UK nation to introduce a ban on indoor smoking in March 2006, followed by the rest of the UK in 2007. Australia introduced a similar ban in 2006 and now has some of the world's toughest anti-smoking laws, with some territories having also banned smoking in outside public areas. There's great excitement among the hospitality sector as pubs, late bars, nightclubs and restaurants can return to normal trading hours.

Reacting to the news that pub opening hours are set to again be cut from Thursday, the Licensed Vintners Association has called on the government to immediately reintroduce Covid supports for the late night sector. Ministers instead decided to impose an 8pm closing time, but industry representatives said that the move would devastate pubs and restaurants in the run-up to Christmas. Tánaiste Leo Varadkar promised new supports for the hospitality industry in response to the move.
Since the 1990s food has become a more important part of a pub's trade, and today most pubs serve lunches and dinners at the table in addition to snacks consumed at the bar. Some pubs serve meals to a higher standard, to match good restaurant standards; these are sometimes termed gastropubs. In South East England it was common until recent times for vendors of cockles, whelks, mussels, and other shellfish to sell them during the evening and at closing time.
Many mobile shellfish stalls would set up near pubs, a practice that continues in London's East End. Otherwise, pickled cockles and mussels may be offered by the pub in jars or packets. A gastropub is a hybrid pub and restaurant, notable for serving good quality beer, wine and food. The name is a portmanteau of "gastronomy" and "public house", and was coined in 1991 when David Eyre and Mike Belben took over The Eagle pub in Clerkenwell, London.
The concept of a restaurant in a pub reinvigorated both pub culture and British dining, though has occasionally attracted criticism for potentially removing the character of traditional pubs. Pubs within a chain will usually have items in common, such as fittings, promotions, ambience and range of food and drink on offer. A pub chain will position itself in the marketplace for a target audience. One company may run several pub chains aimed at different segments of the market. Pubs for use in a chain are bought and sold in large units, often from regional breweries which are then closed down. Newly acquired pubs are often renamed by the new owners, and many people resent the loss of traditional names, especially if their favourite regional beer disappears at the same time.
A "lock-in" is when a pub owner allows patrons to continue drinking in the pub after the legal closing time, on the theory that once the doors are locked, it becomes a private party rather than a pub. Patrons may put money behind the bar before official closing time, and redeem their drinks during the lock-in so no drinks are technically sold after closing time. The origin of the British lock-in was a reaction to 1915 changes in the licensing laws in England and Wales, which curtailed opening hours to stop factory workers from turning up drunk and harming the war effort.
From then until the start of the 21st century, UK licensing laws changed very little, retaining these comparatively early closing times. Wander down the steps from Victoria Park train station and popular watering hole Dr Morse looks you right in the eye. You would've spent many a late night at the Abbotsford bar dancing away in their beer garden and from now, they're reopening from October 23.

This original VQ on Fulham Road – there's another just off Tottenham Court Road, plus one in Aldgate – brings 24-hour dining to Chelsea. It's been going for nearly 20 years, with its success not just down to all those people popping in after other local spots have kicked out. If you are stopping by later in the night, drinks – ranging from classic and house cocktails to draught beers and wines from a varied list – are available till late. Few bars stay open late all days of the week the way Slim Jim's Liquor Store does.
This Upper Street haunt is alive and kicking until 2am from Monday to Wednesday, and then keeps its doors open until 3am from Thursday to Saturday. This makes a 1am closing time on Sunday look modest (it's really not in Islington!). Lots of local village pubs and restaurants reopened on April 12 for outdoor service, alongside many major chains. PUNTERS are back in beer gardens and outdoor dining areas at cafes and restaurants, enjoying pints, coffees and food alike. Public health is devolved in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
