Depends
Upon where you are.

I eschewed pubs for a few years because the pubs within walking distance were populated by twats, twattesses, and sullen slobs.

When I moved up here a friend told me about a bar ten minutes walk away and it's great - no music, no yobbos, a smart, educated, clientelle who are happy to meet people of their own ilk.

I've got a decent local, not inflicted by any of the horrors depicted in QOTW, and I've made some good mates there.

It's Orwell's "Moon Under Water" in reality - almost.

And I've been there all afternoon.
