Am I the only one who would have a pool table? In it's own room.
Also a Sunday league team is a must, I run one and we're looking for a local we like to use and try and get some kind of deal with, and I think it adds something to a pub.
Guinness hats etc on St Patricks Day would be on my 'avoid' list - just get a live acoustic Irish band in there, £2 a pint on the irish drinks, none of this free plastic Guinness rubbish!
[cite]Posted By: Curb_It[/cite]oh i love a lager top me. Specially if still feeling a bit seedy from the previous day's binge drinking. It takes the edge off it for me.

I go to the pub to drink what I want, not so some bell end can turn his nose up at me when I order a Fosters.
I think this pub may need two separate bars, or even be two entirely separate pubs. I don't want any fosters taps taking up space where there should be a proper hand pump for proper beer

Tapas!
Otherwise sounds like my sort of pub.
I'm all for Tapas - the cheese and biscuits and roast potato variety. Ah the good old days - Sunday lunchtime of only 2 hours 12.00 - 14.00 was probably my favourite session of the week in a pub. Then back home to watch the Big Match.

Much better. Just need a proper British name for that stuff
If a pub has a working bar billiards table it is automatically better than any pub which doesn't. This is my sole mandatory criterion, although I do like those fancy Belgian lambics quite a lot so an adventurous approach to beer wouldn't hurt anybody (don't worry ValleyGary, I won't judge you…)
meat raffle ha ha ha, i went to a pub in gillingham last year for a bit of sunday lunch and they were having a meat raffle it was fecking hilliarous!! they were lapping it up!!! my dad said he hadnt seen a meat raffle in pub since 1985. good to see the folks down there are keeping it real.
The volunteer in Bexleyheath used to do a meat raffle a few years ago.
nothing better than trying to cook yourself that days winnings at 11:30 on a sunday night, great if if it was steak/sausages/chops not so great falling asleep drunk trying to cook a big joint of meat...
Dartboard. Fruit machines. Pool tables. Strippers. Only food they can sell is chicken wings. Big screens in door and out showing footy and horse racing.

I think I'm getting old!!
A pub should just have the left over roast potatoes on the bar on a Sunday, nothing else needed.
