My husband and I are designing a pub in our new home. I would love ideas. Have you been to a Pub in the UK, Ireland or Scotland? Any ideas? We want it to be as authentic as possible.
Answer
Well almost any pub you go to in Ireland and the UK is not far off. Most of them have some kind of personality of the owner and his or her likes. If you are into the Republic of Ireland and how it was started and pictures of Michael Collins on the wall. Or if you came from a fishing family like that think of what kind of personality you want it to have. Is it something that respresents all type of people and cultures and go for it.
The furniture in a pub is very different not uniformed so they have booths in some parts with chairs of stools or they may have an area with plush chairs and comfy tables or a even a comfy bench against a wall with a long table.
Food is pub food small sandwiches and chips (fries) or some pubs sell meals. The bathrooms have always been very clean in Ireland. Not cold
Hope this helps. Oh the best beer is Guinness then miller

what would you find in a pub in medieval times?

what would you eat? would there be waiters or would you get the food and drinks yourself? and what would a 7 year old eat and drink?
I don't mean at some medieval fair today i mean in the OLD medieval days i'm writing a paper for extra credit so i can get a college level grade.

According to Ian Mortimer's "A Time Traveller's Guide to the Medieval England", a tavern was a place to drink, and to eat, and it was for the rather more wealthy customers as they could afford the wine the tavern offered. An alehouse was for the poorer people and it served only ale, no wine. An inn served food and drink and also provided accommodation.
"Generally speaking, the actual alehouses were small and shabby. The majority of them were little more than a one storied cottage, and had at best two drinking rooms and one lodging room. They were regarded as the most inferior of the drinking, hospitality institutions. The Inns and the Taverns were more sophisticated, offering wines and spirits, as well as beer, more amenities, and far superior lodging facilities."

If you went to a tavern, you'd be rather better off than someone who went to an alehouse. In a tavern, there might be tables covered with cloth, and you could order wine as well as beer. Food might be bread, cheese and meat, though as time went on, meals got better. There would be mine host, and servingmen. You'd get ale in an alehouse, and probably eat from wooden tables and benches. Here you might also find serving wenches! I'm not sure if a seven-year-old would go to these places, though he might with his father. The child would drink small beer or small ale, a drink usual to everyone in those times as the water was not fit to drink as it was.
I'm wondering myself about lighting; there might be lanterns, or candles fixed to the walls. It might be dangerous, once everyone got drunk, to have candles on the tables!
