I do most of my social hangouts at pubs, be it to have a nice indoors place to chat (esp when it gets late) or to play Magic. Same with most of my friends.

Even if I go outside of my friend group, pubs are usually full, of young people too, and there’s a reason their name is a shortened version of “public house”. Sure you could argue younger generations are going to the pub less and less, but to say that historically it has not been the social centre of UK towns is false.

Also for your last bit, if at least some at the group buys something it should be fine, obv don’t go to a pub and take up space without giving them any money. It doesn’t even have to be alcoholic drinks either.
