That is one thing I noticed when I was in England, was how good their social life was at their neighborhood pubs, not like the dodgy atmosphere you get at many American bars. and the people seemed more real and less "competitive?" acting. You know, nobody trying to act like they were too cool for you or being reserved acting. In England you could have people invite you to be their friend and talk with people about anything. More relaxed, not such loud music like in American bars.
Why do you think America is unable to have the same so much? I think our life is to commercialized and less friendly than people over there.

They're called pubs in Australia, too. Depending on where you go, some of our pubs are pumped up with loud music and others are quiet. We're a fairly friendly mob - a bit reserved, but easy enough to get along with. I don't know why American bars may be as you say they are - probably because of the population and there are probably more pubs, all competing for your business. Maybe you need to look in more out of the way places at home to find friendly pubs to drink at.

A bar and a pub are different things. There are horrible brash 'bars' in england too. Especially those 'americana' ones in london.. :P
You're right though, it's nice how there are 'local' pubs in english towns. But I think it's the same in most older countries. Because people have been living in those areas for so long, and travel wasn't as easy as it is now, they would have had all the entertainment close to where people live.
It's the same in australia, we have heaps of pubs, but they are only in the middle of towns or older areas. Newer suburbs are lucky if they have a dodgy RSL club..

exciting observations... they're additionally pubs here in australia. the pub existence is massive here yet no longer as great as in england. i think of it has lots to do with the climate in england, being a less warm u . s . the persons could have indoor entertainment hence the pubs. in australia, various pubs have regrettably been taken over via poker machines (slot machines) which has spolied them. i haven't been to the U. S. do no longer understand approximately bars over there, yet i think of australia is in all possibility someplace between the U. S. and England. various pubs indexed here are comfortable with a good mix of persons and fairly secure while others are slightly sleazy and / or have too lots physique of recommendations.

They are pubs in Aussie to. The way you have described England's pubs are very much similar to Aussie pubs with the atmosphere and the casualness.
