New owners are in and out of every available bar in town, so they're always changing. The ones that stick around the longest end up being havens for mixtures of terrible and strange people, drunks, or just normies and the bars never change - hard concrete floors or aged, dirty scratched wood and fake/fluff wall decor. As in, it's not your typical, classy pub with interesting characters with stories about life to share over a fine glass of whisky. You sit on dirty stools or torn leather benches in the coldest spots in the bar.

Older single people tired of their jobs and ready to mingle might share something in common with someone else for a change, but the only thing they ever share in common is never accepting their age. The bands suck too. The best bands are playing in coffee shoppes and basements.

I want my pub to be for men, and preferably men only, like a classic barbershop with nudey mags and cigars. Not that I don't like getting my dick wet (wouldn't mind that is), I just want to be appreciated for making it this far in life and not fucking everything up beyond control - the simple things in life a man learns that can be built on and discussed with other gentlemen. But I wouldn't mind the drunk bar games either, maybe some Beerfest style shit in the back alley's of old German factories with tits, good food, and beer foam flopping around.

My town's best bar is wherever the young girls hitting 18 are more likely to frequent. That, and the best food. From there on it's all debatable.

I'm just saying that America has a lot of work to do. The high class bars you see in those shows and magazines sitting atop skylines are filled with your nu-males, scientific bartenders, and pop-culture manikins with absolutely nothing worth serving but their bodies and liquor.
You might be able to put up with their absurd-standard bullshit-judging if you've ever been around the block but after a while you'll find that it's not worth your time and money if you can make your own bar and mixed drinks, connect with and make friends outside of the nightly bar scene, and have fun without being surrounded by imitation surroundings and the bartender or chef's ad-free Spotify playlists.

If you're looking for an over-priced glass or can of swill you can go to any bar, where if you aren't good acquaintance with the bartenders or owner, you can forget top-tier service and quality. And it's rare for people to become good acquaintances with any bartender or owner without sleeping with them or spending a large salary quite often.
Maybe you'll even find some lonely or confused girl under sexual and societal pressure who will fuck you if your face and outfit look like they match a crib the girl can crash at for the night and get some cheap action. Don't count your chickens before they hatch though.

I've lived in a few different places and they're all different. Here I live with a bunch of Bernie Sanders loving pussy ass faggots so the bars are pretty much intolerable. Great beer though. Everyone's nice but man I can't stand the people here. Back home is mostly combo college/biker/rican/townie trash, so obviously I love it. Really I just like the bartenders in town, they're great. We've got pretty good beer too and rock bottom prices. My friends all forgot how to talk to women though so its kind if repetitive and pointless. Still it's my people, bunch of assholes who don't tolerate any bullshit.
I lived at the beach this summer and that was nuts. Mostly all touristy and expensive but I got in with the staff at a few places early so it was fine. The bar is a lot different when bitches walk in off the beach in bikinis and pound fruity drinks that's for sure. And everyone's on vacation so they're down for anything. This one place was nuts, big place but still always packed, right on the beach, djs playing reggae, and cheap drinks. Fuck I miss that shit.

The Eire Pub in Dorchester, Boston is the closest bar geographically to me and similar enough in some regards to the comfy lookin pubs y'all are posting. I'm pretty sure the last black person inside was Obama like 6 years ago on a visit. It's very much a place for shitty old irish people to grumble about how much better ireland was and how the blacks or the gays or the women or the so-and-sos are ruining this 'great nation'
Basically if you arent post 40, irish -not even just white but either fob irish or the son of one-, straight, and one of like 3 careers (read- cop, firefighter, or construction worker), you aren't welcome.
Oh sure you can walk in an order a beer, but it will be that record screetch, everybody in the bar turns and looks at you kind of thing.
If you make the mistake of coming back there, eventually one of the regulars will quietly imply outside that maybe this isn't the bar for you. Not threaten you, of course, because odds are he's a cop or in so good with one you won't be able to prove it was threatening with three different forms of recording.

You hang out with your friends and drink for a few hours, or you stop there for a pint while you're waiting for a travel connection or someone to meet you. Often there are games to play, like pool or darts.

In smaller towns you'll usually have most people knowing each other so it's a bit more like a relaxed house party, the whole place greeting people when they walk in and the groups shifting between tables. In a place like that it's more normal to wander in on your own because you expect to find people there already.

You can talk to the bartender if you know them or if it's quiet. You may open conversation with strangers if something interesting happens like some cunt stacking it in a humiliating way. If anyone breaks a glass, you shout "wheyyy".

I just traveled for a year driving around the US visiting all lower 48 states and a ton of National Parks. Went solo. Gotta disagree with going to bars alone. I did it all the time and 95% of the time I had a blast. Most folk are super friendly and nice and when they see my outta state ID, they'd ask me what I'm doin there, etc. and we'd be chatting the rest of the night.

Granted, I'm a pretty social dude and have no issue rolling into a local dive or something and feeling awkward or whatever. It's a great way to meet some new people and learn about whatever part of the country or world you're in.

Just settled down in a new place and hit my local watering hole alone. Been here 2 months now and have a number of buddies at the bar, know all the servers and bartenders, and get comped drinks all the time because I'm a fun guy to bullshit with and the bartender likes to drink with me.

Got four within a mile.
Winding Wheel is a Marston's so you know what you're getting. Used to do a good quiz on Thursdays until the bloke who ran it moved away.
The Talbot used to have live bands on once or twice a month with open mic nights. Haven't been there since they stopped doing that a couple years ago.
Cross Keys is your bog standard pub. No frills just decent pints and food.
Five Ways which used to host the local amateur rally club until the new owners took over. Last time I went it'd gone downhill on every front.

Couple miles down the road in town there's the Wetherspoon's and gastro-pubs/bars, few nightclubs, and the Bar Sport.
Couple miles the other way there's another 'Spoons and a live music bar that I think's on the way out.

This is mine.

It's a comfy place. It literally is the town watering hole; it's a small city but we have a University, so we get all kinds from college students to local blue-collar guys to anyone who wants a decent drink. Food is ok, nothing special.

There's another place in town that is basically the frat bar that most locals avoid because the frat fags are fucking morons that are willing to spend daddy's money on drinks twice as high as they are at the Wagon, and another plae I really like that is I guess the "alternative" bar. It's cheap, it's small, it's kinda dirty, but it's got the local punk crowd and some of the nicest people i've ever met.

Why is it that every single scene I see of America it just looks soulless. Don't get me wrong Britain can look fairly depressing as well, after Norway we get the the most rain and least daylight of every other country in Europe, but at least English streets have a soul. It can be gritty northern terraces, hilly country cottages, posho southern houses but every street in England has a history. America just looks like any other street in America.

I do like Sam Smiths pubs, the way they keep the old architectural features and tend to be giant warrens with eight tiny bars. Not so much comfy, but they feel kinda like finding a tiny hut to shelter in when it's absolutely pushing it down outside.

I guess that pretty much sums up the USica pub culture.

But I can't help but believe you haven't had to do much bootstrapping with those pubs that have the history, in some cases going back to the 19th century, that you've shown in the pics.

National Tavern, or "The Nash" if you're local. I don't have any pics of the inside because...who does that?

It's a nice bar. As the sign says, they have karaoke some nights (though I've never gone), and every Friday night they have a local band (usually country, but sometimes 80's general).

Cheap drinks (though basic) and friendly staff. Older (and very sparse) crowd, which is nice for avoiding the Chads and Staceys who're just looking to get krunk'd. The place is a bit rundown, but it's not in a great area, so whatever. They have pool, a jukebox, and so on- regular bar stuff. Good place to go and just...drink.

The TL;DR is that it's a nice little dive bar with an older crowd, cheap drinks, and nice staff.

Wife and I went this past Friday and actually chat up a guy who owns a place in town. She drinks the same beer as he does (Labatt 50), and I drink the same as his late wife (black Russian). Lots of other similarities, but I won't get into that. He bought us a few rounds and invited us to his restaurant, on him.
