Always drink bottled beer in clubs.
This was one of many things I picked up as a student (though I didn't always follow it -- for 50p a pint I didn't care).
Nowadays I only tend to drink from the tap is it's hand-pulled and I'm always wary on the first pint -- I've had quite a few pints where you can taste the pipe-cleaning fluid.
Pubs with good beer are getting harder to find.

Every pint from every Wetherspoons, ever.

Most modern pubs and chains are as bad.
I like a pub to be clean, but the modern way of doing things, cleaning too much and not sacrificing any beer, means it's tough to get a good pint.

I like a pub to be covered in sawdust.
Actually, I don't think I've ever been in a pub with sawdust on the floor. I wonder if they still exist?

They do indeed...
...in little west yorkshire villages not far from Huddersfield/Halifax, sawdust on the floor, low benches and the stink of dog. It's can be very Slaughtered Lamb.

Sorry, I meant clean as in hygenic.
I don't want a glass with lipstick on it or in a largely unwashed state. I do love a proper Yorkshire pub -- but the good ones tend to be in villages and hard to get to.

It's not the getting to that's ever the problem...
... it's the getting home again afterwards
