Editing Pub (section)

==Types==
A pub has no strict definition, but CAMRA states that a pub has four characteristics:<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
#Open to the public without membership / residency
#Serve draught beer or cider without requiring food be consumed
#Have at least one indoor area not laid out for meals
#Allow drinks to be bought at a bar (i.e. not only table service)
Together these characteristics differentiate pubs from restaurants and hotel bars, although some pubs also serve as restaurants or hotels.

===Gastropub===
{{main|Gastropub}}

A '''gastropub''' is a hybrid pub and [[restaurant]], notable for serving good quality beer, wine and food.<ref>{{cite news|title=New York Develops a Taste for Gastropubs|first=David|last=Farley|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=24 May 2009|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/22/AR2009052201105.html}}</ref> The name is a [[portmanteau]] of "[[gastronomy]]" and "public house", and was coined in 1991 when David Eyre and Mike Belben took over the Eagle pub in [[Clerkenwell]], London.<ref>

In 2011, ''[[The Good Food Guide]]'' suggested that the term has become irrelevant such is its commonality these days.<ref>{{cite book | url = http://www.thegoodfoodguide.co.uk/news/gastropub-rip | chapter = Gastropub RIP | title = The Good Food Guide | date = 4 September 2011 | access-date = 22 July 2013 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130517210046/http://www.thegoodfoodguide.co.uk/news/gastropub-rip | archive-date = 17 May 2013}}</ref>

===Country pub===

A "country pub" is simply a rural drinking establishment, though the term has acquired a romantic image typically of thatched roofs and whitewashed stone walls.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1v_pDAAAQBAJ&pg=PT130|page=130|title=The Pub: A Cultural Institution|first=Pete |last=Brown|publisher=Jacqui Small LLP|date= 18 August 2016|isbn=9781911127017}}</ref> As with urban pubs, the country pub can function as a social and recreational centre, providing opportunities for people to meet, exchange news, and cooperate on local charitable events.<ref>House of Commons; Business, Innovation and Skills Committee (25 March 2010), {{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=euo1ZDgS-LAC&pg=PA7|page=7|title=Pub companies: follow-up, Government response to the Committee's fifth report of session 2009–10|author=|publisher=The Stationery Office|date= 25 March 2010|isbn=9780215545510}}</ref> However, that culture of functioning as a social centre for a village and rural community started to diminish in the latter part of the 20th century, as many country pubs either closed down, or were converted to restaurants or [[gastropub]]s.<ref>[http://www.curmudgeon.org.uk/misc/deathpub.html The more recent developments of the country pub] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120025621/http://www.curmudgeon.org.uk/misc/deathpub.html |date=20 November 2008 }}</ref> Those country pubs located on main routes may once have been coaching inns, providing accommodation or refreshment for travellers before the advent of motorised transport.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.southernlife.org.uk/country_pub.htm|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081012055524/http://www.southernlife.org.uk/country_pub.htm |archive-date = 12 October 2008|url-status = unfit|title = The Country Pub |work = Southern Life (UK)}}</ref>

===Roadhouse===

{{Main|Roadhouse (facility)}}

The term '''roadhouse''' was originally applied to a coaching inn, but with the advent of popular travel by [[motor car]] in the 1920s and 1930s in the United Kingdom, a new type of roadhouse emerged, often located on the newly constructed [[arterial road]]s and [[Bypass (road)|bypass]]es. They were large establishments offering meals and refreshment and accommodation to motorists and parties travelling by [[charabanc]]. The largest roadhouses boasted facilities such as tennis courts and swimming pools. Their popularity ended with the outbreak of the [[Second World War]] when recreational road travel became impossible, and the advent of post-war [[drunk driving]] legislation prevented their full recovery.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.breweryhistory.com/journal/archive/119/bh-119-002.htm |title=Improved Pubs and Road Houses: Rivals for Public Affection in Interwar England |last1=Gutzke |first1=David W |year=2005 |website=breweryhistory.com |publisher=The Brewery History Society |access-date=3 April 2016 |archive-date=28 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728092931/http://www.breweryhistory.com/journal/archive/119/bh-119-002.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Many of these establishments are now operated as pub restaurants or fast food outlets.

===Theme pub===
A '''theme pub''' is a pub that aligns itself to a specific culture, style or activity; often with the intention of attracting a niche clientele. Many are decorated and furnished accordingly, with the theme sometimes dictating the style of food or drink on offer too. Examples of theme pubs include sports bars, [[Rock and roll|rock]] pubs, [[biker bar]]s, Goth pubs, [[strip club]]s, [[karaoke bar]]s and [[Irish pub]]s.

===Micropubs===
{{main|Micropub}}

In Britain, a '''micropub''' is a very small, modern, one-room pub founded on principles set up by Martyn Hillier, the creator of the first micropub, the Butchers Arms in [[Herne, Kent]], in 2005.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2016/07/12/Micropubs-The-MA-guide-to-the-quiet-rise-of-the-micropub|journal=[[Morning Advertiser]]|title=Small is beautiful – the quiet rise of the micropub|first=Jamie|last=Hailstone|date=11 June 2015|access-date=26 April 2020|archive-date=28 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728092925/https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2016/07/12/Micropubs-The-MA-guide-to-the-quiet-rise-of-the-micropub|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Indy Micropubs"/> Micropubs are "based upon good ale and lively banter",<ref name=Butchers>{{cite web|url=http://micropub.co.uk/micropub-assoc/4561867790|website=micropub.co.uk|title=Micropub Assoc – The Butcher's Arms|access-date=24 April 2020|archive-date=12 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200612035741/http://micropub.co.uk/micropub-assoc/4561867790|url-status=dead}}</ref> commonly with a strong focus on local cask ale.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2014/09/community-fixers-mighty-rise-micropub|title=Community fixers?
