With so many pubs closing down, there does seem to be very few "real" pub's around these day's.
It used to be that the local pub was the hub of a community in smaller rural areas.
And even in town's and cities.
But with the demise of the local.
If you were to open a pub or visit one, what would you like to see to make a successful pub?
I think it starts with having people who run it enthusiastic and friendly talking to everyone not just the chosen few sitting on stools at the end of the bar. |

We have a few vibrant local pubs - the trick seems to be
Exceptionally good bar staff
Space
Great selection of drinks including cocktails
Interesting food menu
Reasonably priced
Good music and a bit of live music
Heated outdoor area
These places are buzzing at the weekend and busy most nights and lunchtimes of the week. |

Bar staff can make or break a pub, so they are probably the most important. And as long as the beer is cold and at a good price, customers will keep coming back |

Nags Head in Malvern. That's all you need to know! Few years back, as they were officially CAMRAs best town pub in U.K. They advertised for a new bar manager. Short ad.
"Wanted: Bar manager for best pub in U.K.
Person Specification: Best bar manager in U.K."
That was all it said! |

"I was told this week that The Vanilla Alternative looks like a converted old pub ... Perhaps we can find a few more and establish a chain. "
La Chambre in Sheffield is a converted pub. It has a real bar where you come in, and a bar feel, with a dancefloor and a pole. The sexily clad people and a visit upstairs tells a different story  |
