AT THE PUB
Pubs (short for public houses) are an important part of British life. They are as a rule quiet, rather private places, large or small, new or old, in cities or in the countryside, with a friendly atmosphere where local people meet in the evening for company and conversation.
You can find every kind of person there: doctors, schoolteachers, workers. They come to relax, talk, play games like darts or billiards and have their usual drink or a meal. You can buy many kinds of drinks in pubs, alcoholic and nonalcoholic. The typical drink is beer. There are many different types of beer both draught and bottled, which is served in pints (0.57 of a litre) or half pints. You never ask for a pint of beer, ask always for a pint of bitter, lager, keg or other particular name of the beer. You can also buy spirits (e. g. whisky, gin, vodka) and usually wine, by the glass, but not by the bottle.
There are also a lot of soft drinks, e. g. coca-cola (coke), fruit juice or lemonade. A very refreshing drink on a hot day is a shandy (lemonade mixed with beer).
The pub is the place where you meet people. You get to know other "regulars", you buy drinks in turn, which is called "to stand a round" and you talk. You talk about the weather or how the English cricket team is doing in the Test Match against Australia. And although the regulars see each other almost every night for years, they never go into each others homes.
People may want to sing in the pub. Then they ask someone to play the tunes on the old piano. The pianist has free drinks as long as he plays. That is the custom.
Some pubs have two bars (the saloon bar and the public bar) and a restaurant. The saloon is better decorated and more comfortable (but the drinks are more expensive). The games and music are in public bars. In the restaurants you can get a complete meal.
It's normal to buy one's own drinks at the bar and the barman is not tipped unless he brings drinks to your table. Each order is paid for separately, and not at the end of the evening like in restaurants.
There are strict laws regulating opening times and those allowed into pubs.
The times vary in different parts of the country but most of them are open from 11 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays. Children under 14 are not allowed to get into a pub, and young people under the age of 18 are not allowed to buy alcoholic drinks. Many today's pubs have tables outside, sometimes in the well-tended gardens. It's quite normal for women to go into pubs in Britain, but like everybody else they must follow the licensing laws.
Questions for discussion:
1. What is a pub/a bar?
2. Is it more popular than a restaurant in Britain?
3. Why do English people go to a pub?
4. What drinks do they normally have there?
5. Is alcohol forbidden in the pubs/bars?
6. Are there such places as pubs in our country?
7. What drinks can you order there?
8. Is there a great variety of beer in British pubs? In our country?
9. Which of them are the best?
10. Is it customary to stand around in our country?
11. What are the drinking habits in our country?
