Yes you can walk around outside with a beer, we live in a free country

If the carbonation makes you bloated, you need to try cask beer.

When she said to buy the bartender a drink, what actually happens is that you say "Have one yourself" and they charge for one more than you ordered, they don't actually have a drink.

I'd also recommend, that beer 'pumped' from a large pull handle will likely be cask beer which is proper ale. Anything from some little tap will likely be keg or fizzy lager. My basic rule is the bigger and shinier the tap the more I avoid it!

12:54sec yes we do have places that stay open till 3/4 in the morning..Pub's generally close early. Think of it like this on the weekend Pub's are generally a place you go before going to the club's but even though they close early some do stop overs where if you know the landlord well they'll let you stay over closing time..

in your local pub you can usually get a 'lock-in', where they close the doors but will continue serving those locked-in, in my local we would have pool or darts competitions where the owners of the pub would join in and get pissed with the rest us.

She was in the posh tourist area of London, I come from East London, basically you don't tip, you can drink anywhere, on buses, and trains in the street. Lived in Philadelphia for a few years in the eighties so I know both cultures, I think you will find drinking over here a lot more fun.

Cider is made from fermented apples - it can get very strong. It's not a flavored beer. Sometimes it will have a natural carbonation, but it can also be flat. It can be clear or cloudy. A still cloudy cider is often a sign of a stronger cider.

She's visiting pubs in the upmarket area of London - Kensington. Pubs had to close at 11pm not so long ago but now they can apply to open the hours they want. Most open 8am till 12am most days apart from a few weekend nights when 2am or 3am is normal. Funny experience I had a few months back was meeting an American lady visiting London (and the UK) for the first time. She went to the bar in the pub and ordered £8 worth of drinks but left a £2 coin presumably trying to tip the bar lady. After a few minutes the bar lady came over to our table and handed her the £2 coin saying she forgot to pick up her change! 😁 You can drink outside in any place except if a byelaw has been passed in a certain area then you'll see no drinking signs on lamp posts. You can be fined in these areas for drinking. You'll see lots of people in the parks drinking with friends on a sunny day.

A pub and a bar are different things, pub is short for 'public house's it's more of a relaxed atmosphere and serves booze (also usually food) as opposed to a bar where it's more focused on the booze. Pubs usually shut at 11 ish while bars/clubs are open later

Another great reaction, thanks guys. Sorry this is a bit of a long one. I Live in London and worked as bartender and bar manager of pubs, clubs and vanues around the UK for 15 Years, until about 5 yeasr ago. The video you watched is from the very nice bits of London and offers quite a sanitized view of pubs. Some of them are as she described but pubs are very varied in the UK. For instance some allow kids, other don't and others do only at certain times of day. Drinking in or out of the pub will generally depend on the eaxact circumstances of your trading license and the preferences of the local council. Also, some pub close at 11pm-ish but most I worked for closed at around 2am, 4am or 6am. Waiting at the bar can be good but when it's at full throtle on a friday or saturday night it can be 40 wide and 10-20 deep with people waiting and so it might not be appreciated and nice orderly eye contact isn't easy. Howeerver some chiller or country pubs I've worked in are pretty much how she described. Just some personal observations from my time working in the industry. Experiencing the pubs are definitely an icebreaker and quite quick way to get in touch with aspects of British culture. Many thanks again for all the great videos that help keep me sane while I'm writing my dissertation.

To be fair, if you lived in Brimingham for any length of time, you'd drink like a fish too!! It numbs the pain!!😆🤣

Attitudes to drinking is one of the big differences between Brits and Americans. I've travelled around the US and drinking felt like committing a cardinal sin. Here, it's almost compulsory. For example, it's Friday. What that typically means is fifteen pints, a kebab and then wreck a bus shelter. And we love the chaos.

After a hard days work it's nice just to go to the pub and relax,have a few lagers perhaps a game of pool then home.

Cider over here is made the same way as beer but with apples instead of malt/wheat/ barley.

Sunday Roast is usually Roast Beef or Chicken, with loads of veg, and gravy. They often include Yorkshire Pudding, which is a puffed up piece of heaven made by baking batter in a really hot oven.

Pubs shut around 11, Bars stay open late some in London are even 24hr Pubs and Bars are not the same. No Children allowed in Bars You Do get many hybrid Pub/Bars too. Like a weatherspoons, Children have to be out by 8pm

During the First World War the government of the day instituted public closing times to limit alcohol consumption as it was affecting the war effort and production. Pubs opened at 11:00 am and closed at 2:00pm the doors then remained closed until 6:00pm last orders were called at 10:30pm and closing time was 11:00pm to enable the workers to get a good nights sleep. These restrictions continued long after the war and were again enshrined in the 1921 licensing Act. In 1988 some of the restrictions were lifted and all day drinking was allowed between the hours of 11:00am and 11:00pm and in 2005 pubs were allowed to apply for a licence enabling 24 hour opening. However most establishments now open around 11:00am many close in the afternoon after about 2:00 as there is not a lot of trade and staff still need to be paid. Things then tend to open in the early evening when people get off work and want to go for a drink on the way home or just after getting home. Most people need to get up for work in the morning so 11:00pm closing is still quite prevalent, however in city centres and at weekends establishments tend to close later. Pub landlords need their sleep as well!

UK and Ireland are the exception for nearly everything in Europe. Saying that they act as if they were located off the US/Canada'eastern coast instead of across the channel from France is really accurate. As for drinking culture since they close early they often go and get shitfaced quickly.

It’s not in the least bit necessary to say ‘Cheers’ and clink glasses before you start your drink, although sometimes it’s a spontaneous nicety to kick off the beginning of a session, or of course to note a special celebration.

Not all of us drink beer or cider.. and not all of us drink shorts or wine. Some of us don't drink alcohol at all. And quite a lot of us (me included) only have an occasional alcoholic drink..I generally have a glass of sparkling wine on my birthday, christmas day and New Year's Eve. I only have a soft drink when I go to a pub for a meal..

My normal way of tipping is, 'I'll have , and one for yourself'.

pubs can open pretty much when they want, they can apply for flexible opening hours, including 24-hour licensing. But most of them, just because of history/culture, open from 11 AM to 11 PM, but can be extended with the appropriate licence and many places in London and other cities do so.

Rule number 1, take plenty of money because London pubs are extremely expensive.

Having children is more attached to having a restaurant or play area, or beer garden. It really depends on the pub. All pubs are different, and how they run the business, depends on the locality and local demands

My American mate says cider in America is apple juice or if it has alcohol in it, it is called hard cider.

Pubs choose their hours. The main pubs stay open till about 2am. Pubs that allow kids only allow them until 7pm.

It's generally not illegal to walk around with a beer in the UK some laws do apply though like you can't walk into stores or certain areas but for the most part you can walk around with an open container of alcohol over here.

Drinking/Licences laws and regulations have changed. Very few pubs close at 11pm. It's actually debated whether this is a good thing or not. 🍻.

In the UK if you're over 18 you can drink outside.. although because of my Uncle Alan the Veg Some local councils restrict outside drinking in certain areas.❤

Gin and tonic is actually good for you, With the recent invention of carbonated water, quinine was used as a flavouring to create tonic water which, as it just so happens, is a perfect complement to gin. Gin and tonic was therefore drunk as an anti-malarial and became the distinctively British colonial drink

Feeling bloated is from the carbon dioxide: so in the UK ask for real ales. These are drawn up by a hand pump, electric pump or straight from the barrel via a tap. They come in a wide variety of tastes (the 1st pint will taste not as good as the following pints) and are served cool but not cold. I prefer the lower alcohol beers (~3%) such as Ruddles best bitter, though you will find different products regionally.

Hello from Australia! Firstly I want to thank Einstein Brian for his fantastic tip in the Over-Tourism video. Shutting doors, blinds etc. to keep the sun out. Hoodathunk!!! Re American beer - the problem you have is like practically all American food/drinks (I've lived there for a year or so) is that it's full of additives etc. American beer lolly/water is so weak non-Americans can drink heaps of it. BTW Brian your "Pommy" accent sounds like a VERY bad Aussie one. Re kids - you've made the typical American mistake that Pubs are like your Bars - they're not. Great reaction guys!

You can drink anywhere in England in public places, England is far more free than the U.S.A generally and the onus is placed on the citizen to act sensibly but it's normal in summer to see people having drinks in parks, open areas and other public spaces. Kids are even allowed to drink at home as long as they are older than 5.

We can drink anywhere we like in the UK. The only restriction is that you cannot be drunk and disorderly in public, although plenty of people are, and nobody really cares !

My favourite sign in a pub 'no kids allowed' and they do exist.

good vidéo, good réaction, thank you from France 🇨🇵🍻🍺👍

Not all pubs shut at 11pm some stay open till 2am,and open at 10 am.

another thing, in the busier pubs, you maybe asked if you going outside, either on the street or the beer garden, and then you maybe given a plastic glass, for safety, should it be dropped, you dont want glass in a beer garden where children play, the same on the street.

In the north of England, where THEE WALL is like in Game of Thrones, the pubs are open until whatever time they want.

Original drinks ?? In that case Gin originated, NOT in the UK, but actually in The Netherlands. We call it Jenever, and if memory serves it was Bols who created it. (The latter I am not 100% sure of, but still.)

If you are buying a round you ask one of your friends to help you carry drinks over to your table or ask for a tray.

You can walk about with a drink, sit in parks, ride trains and buses. Pretty much do what you want 🍻... And yes she was in a very nice part of London, it all isnt like that

Cider made with pears is called perry

You leave the pub at 11 head to nightclub ❤

Some pubs as said do stay open later, most locals close at 11pm. some pubs can stay open for 24 hours, it depends on your license and what license you have, license you have, You have to do a coarse first to be able to apply for a lincense, then you have to apply for a license through the court, but it also has to be agreed to my the local council and police. many pubs, ie locals are on housing estates, so its not wanted, loud noise 2am in the morning, while families are trying to sleep, people have work, also on the police side, they cant be everywhere, so closing locals at 11, and allowing more city and town center places to open later, it easier to police, and drink can be trouble some, more at turn out times, people waiting for taxi's wanted to get home, it causes trouble who taxi it is, que jumpers, also for staff in the locals, being able to get public transport home, or getting a taxi, before the later pubs and clubs turn out, its not to long ago, when the usual pub hours were, 11am till 3pm, then 6pm till 11pm monday to saturday, and sundays being slightly shorter in those days, if you were out for a days drinking, you went to a resturant at 3pm, they were allowed to serve all day, buy a bowl of soup, then stay there till 6pm drinking, as you could buy alcohol all day with a meal, bowl of soup was a meal, we used to go to the chinese and by wonton soup,

UK pretty much allow anything as long as you are good. If you can handle your liqueur you are all good. Kids are allowed in most pubs but after 9pm it gets adult time. Thats all pubs as standard. Ive been all over the world and generally, if you can handle your booze, it's cool. An unhinged drunk is no good to anyone. 😅

Hi guys. @7:17 Brian says 'outside you can't de rowdy and throwing shit'. You can't do that inside the pub either or you'll get your head stove in 😂😂. Also, you can't wander off down the street with your drink or you'll get arrested and possibly charged with stealing the drinks glass. Buying a round for your friends is good 'cause you won't have to go to the bar again for some time. If you feel beer is too bloating we do a great selection of Spirits, Gin, Whisky, Rum and cocktails. Pubs close around eleven pm here which shocks Americans, but if you're drinking since lunchtime like most real drinkers you'll probably have enough dy then. Besides, there's plenty of nightclubs to go to if you have the stamina. Hope you guys get over here soon. Hugs 🫂

Just remember British beer is flat not fizzy and tastes better at room temperature not cold!

Drink some bottles of red wine.... no bloating at all, and no hangover if you choose the right brands. Beer just makes you pee

From Scotland here (Britain) been everywhere in the uk and you can walk : on the street, up a mountain, in line, while taking your kids to school while drinking alcohol

We have beer gardens but you can drink in the street outside a pub but certain cities have designated non drinking areas but if England is playing the footie no-one cares where you drink

Americans would use hard cider to what we would use cider, because we just just say the fruit and then juice, like apple juice for your cider.

I saw side streets in central London without traffic because they were filled with pint-wielding pub patrons. Guessing the indoor smoking ban had something to do with it.

A word of warning if you go to Somerset (cider country) they have a thing called scrumpy which is very potent. Some pubs may even limit the number they will sell you. You used to be able to find pubs near steelworks in the UK (we have very few steelworks left) where the beer could be very potent as it was brewed for the steelworkers, again as an outsider they may have limited the number of pints they would sell you.

Pubs shut at early times, but bars and clubs here shut much later like 4am or later

we used to have a great concept, back in the day, we used to go caravaning, every weekend it was the same caravans there, same people, we all became friends, around 20 of us, on long table in the club, every at the start friday night, used to put 10.00's each in the middle of the table, so 200 pounds i guess. everyone would be asked what they drinking, this was wrote down on a list, the list was given to the bar staff when getting first round, bar staff kept that list, and you paid from the money in the pot, if anyone won bingo, that went into the pot, which happened often, a beer carry was also taken end of the night, that money carried over to the next night, started with that money, if no bingo wins came, everyone put in and topped it up again, I have had whole weakends for 10.00, through some good wins on bingo, good chance when there is 20 playing. we did this every week for 10 years

Pubs close at 11 .... you have to drink up by then or leave your drink behind. To carry on drinking go to nightclubs

When buying a drink for the bar(person/wench) or attempting to tip, do NOT just leave cash on the bar as it will get filched, make sure you give it to them directly.

The big bring the family to pub, all be it you could do it before, but really took off in 2007, when the smoking ban came in, pubs lost alot of people because of the smoking ban, choosing to stay at home, buy drink in take away, great home entertainment was getting big, so food and familes, became a very big thing to get people through the door, alot of pubs, the food prices, there is not alot made, with what they charge, and paying for food stock, kitchen staff, pot washers and everything, more money is made on the beer and soft drinks, thats why your never hurried from a pub after food, they want you sit, buy more drink, soft drinks for the kids, a pint of coke for example is nearlly the same price of a pint of beer

entry is always at the landlord's discretion. as they can lose their licence if there are complaints we have quit strong drink and drive laws

In france you can have any drink anywhere outside, but if you are drunk you can be arrested if you are making troubles :)

The’cheers’ thing, is not so important as it is here in Sweden

it may have been said already, its legal to drink in public in general, some city centers may have an exclusion zones, this is really to stop the anti social behavour, as drink can be troublesome, but in general public drinking is fine, many a person will go to the parks for a picnic, take a few beers, bottle of wine for the ladie, if you on the train, lets say london to york, you can happily drink on the train if money is a thing an tight, find the weatherspoons, are the great yeah, are they great no, depends what you looking for, cheap beer cheep food, low quality food, but it will feed you, curry rice nann bread and pint of beer for 7 pounds, all day breakfast plus free refill coffee's for around 5 punds or so, depending on your area, they open early for brakfast and coffee and beer, our opens 8am and is half full by 9am

thats lager for ya , we also make our own beer or mead if you like to call it , i do not drink as much , as i use too , but i use to have a bottle of vodka and beer including smoking , when i had kids i totally stopped due to sending the wrong signals to them.

Actual proper rule. I know for FACT! A commercial German beer called Holsten Pils significantly reduces hangovers as does good quality spirits. I can drink 8 Budweisers and feel like death but drink a 70cl bottle of shit-hot rum and be good the next day. (Within reason)

Pubs are not the same as nightclubs who serve drinks 24hrs if they can be bothered to stay open...Most drinking in the UK happens during pub hours. Nightclubs offer something completely different (usually for students to take drugs etc...totally normal)

What she said would be similar to most pubs nowadays across the UK and Ireland, but pubs you'd want to stay away from usually are not in the main part of the city. Just ask locals to which areas/streets/roads to avoid and you should be fine.

Glasgow (Scotland) is a different for street drinking (for our own self-preservation) Technically, you can't drink on the streets. If you keep it hidden & discreet you'll likely get away with it, and if you're caught by the police you'll usually just be made to pour it away and told to behave (just be polite or you risk escalation). You can probably also play the "tourist" card too, if needed. Police won't want the paperwork over it unless you deserve it. The locals will absolutely not care that you're doing this Our pubs close at midnight (some have late licenses), nightclubs (and late license pubs) close at 03/0400, then you can hit a casino until 0600 if you're still in a semi-respectable condition *these times aren't last orders, these are the staff shouting "I'm going home, off you f--k 🙂"

Had my first beer in a pub on my 14th birthday .... illegal at that time until age 16

Beer in the UK covers such a wide range of fluids it is difficult to define

You can drink everywhere

We all drink in the UK, it’s the only way of dealing with the terrible weather, in fact I’m drunk now! Cheers 🍺

Pubs close at 11, bars and clubs between 2-6am

See I only drink Brown ales they don't actually make feel bloated. See what I did with my 2 sons was let them drink at home when they were younger. It's not illegal in the UK to drink under the age of 18 in your home with your parents permission. So you can teach your children to respect beer and not abuse it when they are actually legal to drink in pubs. My lads won't actually get to drunk when out drinking now they leave being drunk when in a safe environment like the house.

Thank was alittle old though how it goes In other cities/counties in my city if our coun il approval pubs can be open to 4am 6am in morning 😂 the city I live in and from since 1971 it had 365 pub's a different one for every day of the year its about down to 143 I believe 😂

11 pm is last orders.

Buying a round is no more expensive. If you are with 8 friends you buy 8 drinks yet you have 7 drinks bought for you. So always works out the same anyway everyone knows to say not ask for say a glass of champagne when it's not there round.

she said 45% households drink cider where's she got this information? I don't know anyone who does .. the 2 main beers which is the most popular is bitter or larger some pubs also have Guinness an cider but not all ... last orders in most is 11pm the only pubs that are kid friendly are the ones that do food an not all do where is she getting this information (fucking london)... l can be out with my mates an I can get my own beer you don't have to in around ... barmaids or barmen will have a drink once the bar as finished , an most pub's have beer gardens as you wouldn't be allowed to go on the street🍻🍺🍹

Don't go by what she says in this video . I doubt if she has ever been outside of London ! She is in an upmarket part of London. Pubs around the UK can be VERY different ! I have never been in a pub that allows you to have a " taster " ! She said she " wanted a beer" then orders a Japanese LAGER !! Not the same thing at all !! Beer and Lager are 2 different things ! NEVER stand at the bar !! You WILL be told to move as you are blocking other people from ordering. Most pubs will NOT allow you to take your glasses outside, unless they have a BEER GARDEN. Drink prices vary drastically around the UK. In London you may get charged 3 times the amount you would in my town. If you want to get drunk on Cider very quickly, you need to try a SCRUMPY cider 😵‍💫🤯 To " buy them a drink" means that the barman/barmaid will take the money and either have a tip jar or have a drink at the END of their shift. NOT during their shift !! Drinking on duty is NOT done !! CHEERS.....BOLLOCKS !! No one says that anymore !! Not LAST CALL....LAST ORDERS ! Pub hours are usually 10.30am to 10.30pm.

Cider drinker with occasional shandy for change of pace, while in the pub having a meal.

do you guys not have bonjela? cures mouth ulcers

Don't forget, most pubs do not run tabs. You pay as you go....

She forgot one very important detail. If in London you will need a second mortgage the prices are scandalous. Go on the keg up north.

Actually, there are no rules for pubs/ bar-tenders do not expect a tip

This is an American who travels around the world to the discover alcoholic beverages and in this one he visits the Netherlands and explores the history and culture of Dutch booze! It's really informative, but funny and entertaining too! And you will see you can drink outside! 😁👌🏼✌🏼 Vlaardingse Schelvispekel in Booze Traveler kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqmgo72Gl7-RaIU.html

No way is Cider the most popular

If the gassy piss they pass off as Lager these days bloats you up you might want to give real Ales a try - no carbonation. & as much as it's ashes in the mouth of this Englishman - German Lager is wonderful. A rule of thumb with Pubs is if it looks like a shithole it's going to actually be a shithole & is probably best avoided. The chick in the video was in a nice part of London visiting nice Pubs.

She has gone to posh pubs..they don't correlate to everyday life.

its illegal to drink behind the bar if your working

Your comment at about 4:00 about beer making you feel bloated. I Don't think you have grasped that the beer here in the UK is for the most part quite different to what you call beer in the US. Most of the US beer I have encountered, and please don't take offence, I regard as fizzy tasteless p*&s. While we do have lager type beers here, there is a great number of traditional beers and ales that both much less carbonated and usually have a higher alcohol content and quite different taste to US lager types I have come across. You would need to try a traditional Bitter, Pale Ale or Stout to really understand the difference. There are many local breweries that have their own style and flavour, one of the pleasures of visiting different parts of the country is to try the local brew.

1500 beers in the UK and she gets a Japanese beer?

You don't tip at a pub in the UK unless you think the bartenders have been really nice and you can offer to buy them a drink. The vast majority will not accept a drink while they are working, so you can just slip them a fiver on the sly.

Hot fuzz reaction👌

Never once raised my glass up and said cheers to people nor have i seen anyone do that.

Just a word of caution, 'wanker' is still a pretty bad swear word. If you're out at night and call someone a walker and mean it, expect to get a punch in the face!

Not a good video. Too many things left unexplained or partly explained. If this is meant for American visitors then it won’t be a definitive explanation.

There's more to England and the UK then London every yank video is about London

You don't que,just go to the bar and get the attention of the bar staff,no body waits she's talking crappie.

We *ALL* love beer??? No. People in pubs drinking beer love beer. Stop generalizing everybody and everything. It's like saying all Americans are dumb.
