You don’t have to be quite that old. It is the good old British pub, a drinking den for younger folk now compared to continental cafe bars with a mixed clientele. Though there are bars there of course but a different culture. They don’t set out to get blitzed like a lot her do. I know a lad who worked in Hamburg for quite a while. Closing time 4 am but on a weekend no closing times from Friday morning to Monday morning. He said it was noticeable that only bars that the council insisted had bouncers on the door were the English and Irish bars where people propped the bar up instead of the more relaxed waitress service at your table ones or German bars. Might have changed since then.
