From smoky “spit and sawdust” locals to bright gastropubs with babies in tow, Charlie and longtime friend Jim unpack what a British pub really is: a social rulebook, a safe haven, and a memory machine. Along the way: Guinness standards, pub-quiz tactics, city “street drinking,” and a stag-do story involving a wood burner that really shouldn’t have been lit. If you’ve ever wondered why the pub feels like home—even to the quiet ones—this one’s for you.
