Time at the bar: Why are pubs disappearing from Britain’s streets?

punk band Sham 69 in 1978, and back in the Seventies they had plenty of watering holes to choose from: about 75,000 throughout the UK.

So Wetherspoons owner can by them from Auction...

Because Wetherspoons. The Boris-endorsed Brexit crèches

Cheap booze in supermarkets, Netflix, young people drink less than they used to.

Tax on beer, cost of skysports

Economy. European socialism leaves people with no beer money?

Greene King.

These days if you go your local if you still have one, all you have to look forward to is standing outside in the rain to have a quite pint and a smoke, no more sing alongs, bands come in every weekend, some got darts, or pool tables. Entertainment wise a big screen, boring

It was the smoking ban. This is old news. Congrats to Samuel Smith Sinclairs pub in manchester for banning mobile phones.

No smoking, rise in prices for drinks,and alot of pubs have lost the good old sing alongs or the small bands that use to go in every weekend. The welcoming friendly atmosphere times 0ast

People now use social media? When I lived in England, the local pub had a large group of regulars. They also had a cribbage/darts/dominoes team (playing other pubs), quiz nights, karaoke nights, fancy dress parties etc

Because people have got more boring. Same reason they vote Conservative.

I hope they all close.. i prefer Restaurant and bar.

The reason people don't go to the pub anymore is because it's difficult to avoid people in the pub.

The state of the bar staff?

Smoking ban and I don’t smoke

Smoking out or at home

I blame Boris.
