If you visit the United Kingdom , you will see many buildings with interesting names like The Red Lion or The King’s Arms . These are pubs . The word pub is short for public house . For many years , the pub has been the heart of the local community in Britain . It is a place where people go to meet friends , talk about their day , and relax after work . In a traditional pub , the atmosphere is usually warm and friendly . Most pubs have comfortable chairs , wooden tables , and sometimes a real fire in the winter . Unlike a bar or a club , the music is usually quiet . This is because the main activity in a pub is talking . People of all ages go to pubs . You can see young adults , families with children during the day , and older people who have visited the same pub for forty years . When you walk into a pub , you usually go to the bar to order . In many British pubs , there is no table service for drinks . This means you must stand at the bar and wait for the bartender . People are very polite and wait their turn . It is important to remember that people do not usually leave a tip for the bartender . Instead , they might say , " And one for yourself , " which means they want to buy a drink for the person serving them . Food is also a very important part of modern pub culture . Many years ago , pubs only served drinks and small snacks like crisps and nuts . Today , most pubs serve full meals . This type of food is often called pub grub . You can find traditional dishes like fish and chips , shepherd’s pie , or a Sunday roast . A Sunday roast is a large meal with meat , potatoes , vegetables , and Yorkshire pudding . It is a very popular tradition for families to go to the pub on Sunday afternoon . Pubs also have many traditional games and activities . You might see people playing darts or pool . Darts is a game where you throw small , sharp objects at a round board on the wall . Many pubs also have a pub quiz once a week . In a pub quiz , people form teams and answer questions about history , music , and general knowledge . It is a great way to meet local people and have fun . The names of pubs are often very old and have interesting histories . Many years ago , most people could not read . Pubs used signs with pictures so people could find them . For example , a pub called The Golden Fleece often had a picture of a golden sheep . These signs are still a common sight in British streets today . Each sign is like a small piece of art that tells a story about the past . In some parts of Britain , the local pub is the only place for people to gather . If a small village loses its pub , it is a very sad event . It means there is no place for neighbors to talk or support each other . Because of this , many people work hard to keep their local pubs open . They believe that a good pub makes a community stronger and happier .
