Londoners are very passionate when it comes to pubs – and picky about what makes a great one. No matter how many shiny new bars open in the capital, nothing will ever match the comfort of a good pint in a good pub. But it seems there are quite a few more requirements than just superior beer.
@WonPeople asked what makes the perfect pub and Twitter lit up with replies.
What features does a good pub have?

Some of the obvious pub features came up – such as good food and drink and friendly staff and customers – but other more unusual necessities were mentioned.

Fire
A regular with his own stool
A simple but good menu

Low beams to knock your head on
Toilet on ground floor. Good beer. Good food. Log fire. No dickheads. Quick service. Good price. Good company.

Dogs.

Jukebox, pool table and good selection of draft European beers.

It seems clean toilets, crackling fires and even the presence of dogs are important.
Music that is only ever in the background. Having to raise your voice because of the music = bad pub.

Dim lights, football on TV, regulars who knows everyone else, food on a Wednesday night.

Clean toilets a must. Nothing worse than bursting at the seems and then walking into a scene from trainspotting.

Bar, toilets, chairs, tables.

Really dim lighting so when you walk in off the street it takes 5 minutes for your eyes to adjust
