Good one OP
I’ve been lucky through my job to visit my great pubs. No I’m not in the trade.
My current favourite is “The Seven Stars” in Stourbridge. Black Country ales pub. They have done a great job restoring it. Great real ales and packed when I went 3 weeks ago.

Ex publican here. The breweries are what's killing our pubs.
One of my favourite pubs is the Hotham Arms, in Hotham near York.
if you want to dance though, Domino club in Leeds.
If you like cheap drinks and a feel of nostalgia, The beehive in Newcastle.
If you fancy potentially being snowed in for three weeks plus, the highest pub in the UK, The Tan Hill Inn near Richmond, North Yorkshire is pretty cool in the winter.

I actually did get stuck at the tan hill once, devastated to be stuck in a pub

I'm not going to suggest any, partly as I rarely go in them anymore but mainly all the ones I used to frequent have shut up shop, burnt down or are now flats. I have no wish to be the reason for another establishment to go under  |

The old Fountain off Old Street not quite Shoreditch not quite Hoxton off City road if you know it? Independently owned by the same family for over 70 years. They don’t sell Carling,Stella or Strongbow so it’s a dickhead free environment but they have 8 cask and 12 craft/keg lines the owners come from a culinary background and the food is spectacular particularly the roast. I’m fortunate to know the city intimately and this manor has changed so much for the better I feel. The pub hasn’t and is very welcoming and is an absolute gem probably the best boozer in an EC postcode if not London itself. |

The Laurieston in Glasgow. Some people may be put off by the way it looks from the outside but it's probably the most welcoming pub in the city. The Pot Still is also a great one if you are big on whisky. Tons of single malts from Scotland, whiskeys from all over the world and the staff are great. |

Cardiff is actually a great night out |

Sadly no. But did both gin and juice and rum and fizz. Actually I think gin and juice was a recommendation from a fabber on a thread |

Save all Taprooms / Freehold Pubs ..
Chain pubs will be fine anyway but we need to save the proper village and country pubs..
For many people it is their only social activity as it was with my Dad ..
Im very much an advocate of saving traditional British pubs ❤️ |

In York there's a few great pubs.
For me it's Valhalla in the Shambles
Or The Last Drop inn. In the centre.
Or The Slip Inn off the Bishopthorpe road.. small pub, but at least 8 ales on at any time. |

"I work in the craft beer sector so support any independant breweries who have their own tap rooms"
Stonehouse Brewery local to me only sells their own creations brewed on site....They have a lovely little restaurant linked into the distillery with viewing windows where you can sit and watch what's going on....I don't drink but I love going there, it's only open until 9 pm as well so you don't get rowdy d*unkards...
It's out of town but you can catch a steam train from town to the brewery
