Cross-posted for input, sorry if you have seen this.

I love a pub, best ones I have been in were in Australia, but I have been in great ones in other places as well. I like the atmosphere, the beer, particularly when the pub brews it’s own, the food, everything.

Everyone I travel is forced to endure my search for a good local pub, and we wind up spending time there, no one has ever been disappointed.

So, why don’t we have them in the US? I have given this considerable thought and discussion with friends, but have come to little consensus. So what say you?
