Comment on Huh?
psycho_driver@lemmy.world 18 hours agoI feel like pubs in Europe are different than they are in the US. If you go to a dive bar in the US there’s a real chance you might end up stabbed or shot.

You get those places in Europe too, but you also get places that are queer friendly, serve food and craft beer, have a good punk oriented jukebox, and the barman will start pouring your drink when you walk through the door because they know what you’re going to order.

What you’re describing makes me kinda miss being a regular at a pub.
Post-COVID and moving to Canada … I find that I stay at home all the time nowadays. The bars I go to here are more establishments and have less of the home feel I used to get in Europe.

If you happen to be in Ottawa, I have a couple suggestions via PM. Otherwise, stuff that fits the feel you’d probably like exists, but is generally overshadowed by more establishment spots. Takes a little digging (and even what’s there may not suit your tastes).
Not neccessarily a bad thing though, alcohol being a poison and whatnot (I just happen to like poison).
Caveat - I’ve never been in Europe long enough to know the exact feel of a good homey Euro pub, for comparison purposes.

Sans jukebox, sounds like we’ve been to the same bar.
