Map of every pub in the UK

Looking at that blue line, OOP solved the traveling Irishman problem.

North Scotland must be where people go to sober up.

I for certain of 5 pubs that exist but are not on that map.

  I think you a word.
  
  I think they even a verb

Well done lads.

There's seems to be a mistake: The northern portion of Éire, also known as Ireland, is erroneously included in this chart of UK pubs. Please fix this.
- Did you mean Éire?
  
  Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed. Fixed it.
- Ireland is not a lake. Please fix this

The Isle of Skye is bleak.
- Several hotel bars on Skye are effectively pubs.
  
  That's a relief!

You're missing a few. Also, some of those have closed. Because of these discrepancies this map is literally unusable.

Road trip?
- Thinking more one hell of a pub crawl.
  
  Meh, I reckon I could have a Guinness in each one before closing time.

How many of them are called The Winchester?
- I don't know, but that's where I would go both to wait out the apocalypse and for a date.
- 2, if this is to be believed
  Edit, and then 3 or 4 if THIS is to believed (and those other two appear to have moved from Burnley to Liverpool, and Islington to Highgate)

Why so empty on the northern part? Non British here.
- The people who lived there were forcibly relocated to the colonies because the lairds worked out that it was more profitable to use the land for sheep than peasants.

  well, why don't the sheep have pubs?
- I think they'd say the same.
  
  Underrated comment right here
- Scotland is way less densely populated than England
- I think it's mountains?
  
  That doesn’t normally stop us, but barely anyone lives in the highlands.

damn bro the night life really is dying. Barely any pubs nowadays.

Nope, incomplete. Here's one at the tip of that peninsula-looking island that's left bare (Skye).
I'm curious now it there actually is a spot in the Hebrides or Highlands where you can be more than a day's walk from a pub.
- The Shetlands and Orkneys are also missing entirely. So there's a few more for sure.
  
  Mildly appropriate username. Clearly, they cropped it out because you've taken it for the king of Norway.
  
  Shetland and Orkney. Nobody who lives there says Shetlands or Orkneys. But yes there are a few for sure but not all of the islands have one.
  
  They've chopped off most of Caithness too. Thurso has pubs AND a distillery. John o' Groats has a distillery too, AND a brewery.
  Freedom and whisky gang thegither, Tak aff your dram!
- Looks more like a bar. Never says pub that I saw.
  Skye is beautiful though. Worth the ferry if you're in the area.
  
  Could you explain to my Canadian ass what the difference is? Haha. The only thing it seems to mean here is that they try to be classier and serve full entrees.
  
  There are several pubs in Skye, I visited a few last year.
- Skye is actually close enough that you can drive over there by bridge
  
  How big is the bridge?
  
  I prefer driving by car.

It'll be interesting to remove the Red Lion and see the difference
- I looked it up and thought it was a franchise at first, just very creative and varied about it. Some of them looked really nice, too.
  
  Long long ago, pubs didn't have names but they just had signs. People would call the pub whatever was on the sign. "The King's Head" for pubs with a portrait of a king, "The Wheat Sheaf" for ones with a picture of some wheat or barley, etc.
  Lots of old pubs displayed the Stuart coat of arms as a show of loyalty to King James I/VI and his heirs, which is a heraldic red lion. Hence why so many pubs have the same name even though they're all ancient and unrelated.

This is missing a few, there's more than that in the rural regions of Scotland.
- Yeah, this map comes up on the Web periodically and we Scots point out that it's lacking (a lot) in Scotland.
  
  Bleeding English erasing Scottish pub culture smh /s

Great! Now do every bar in Wisconsin…

  Good attempt, far from being all of them though. For example in Appleton they can’t hand out more liquor licenses because of the sheer amount of bars there.

I'd be interested to see the alcoholism rates over history compared to the US. That's a lot of pubs, but I have a feeling the rates are lower there.
- Found a random graph that might tell part of the story. I've always heard that people drink more heavily in Europe than the US.
  
  What happened in the 80s?
  
  I'm doing my part!

Why does it include part of Ireland? That's a completely different country.
- Assuming you are not trolling and actually curious, Northern Ireland is part of the UK since the Partition of Ireland in 1921.
- i have terrible news, you've left the good timeline (the Easter-1916 timeline) and are in ours now
  
  Does the Ottoman Empire still stand, brother?
- Country...yes. Nation...no.

What’s the deal with the hole in the cloud of pins near the England / Scotland border?
- it's actually one Big Super Pub that fills up the whole of Northumberland
- Looks like it might be the North Pennines, which is basically a national park

Sample output from my D&D pub name generator:
Goblin and Squirrel
Golden Pot
Sleepy Troll
Cheerful Spoon
Baldric and Frog
Green Toad
Stoat and Halberd
Goose and Halberd
Squirrel and Halberd
Goblin and Sword
Well Fed Duck
Laughing Duck
Eye and Goblin
Squirrel and Hen
Kobold and Dog
Dunno why it likes halberds so much here. It has its moods.
- Nice, something like "the halfling Arms" could work well. "The old green troll" too.
- It must be compensating for everyone taking glaives over halberds in D&D 5e despite having identical stats
  
  I never met a glaive I didn't like.
- Some of the pub names I used to frequent when younger, although many are closed down and I don’t go in pubs anymore.
  The Swan
  The Bay Horse -> The Bay -> Bar One
  British Queen
  Horse Shoe
  The Lord Raglan
  The Bee Hive
  Morning Star
  The New Swan
  The Cross
  The Brickcroft
  The The Railway
  The Victoria
  The Royal Oak -> Last Order -> The Royal Oak
  The Fleece
  The Olde Bell
  I’m bored now 😂
  
  My father moved to France and opened an expat (read imigrant, they can't use one word for themselves and use another for others) bar called the old lord raglan.
  
  Thanks! I don't believe new, old/olde or horse are in my word list. Editing...

I recently visited one in Belfast.

Makes me nervous seeing those northern areas with vast swaths of land with no pubs. What do people do up there?
- Not be, mostly.
  The population density in the Highlands and Isles is very low.

Seems light

"get me to god's country"

same first time.

Mmm. Pubby.

The third place for the users of feddit.uk

The pub crawl of death.

I'd rather drink alone in my basement

Internet teaching me Ireland not in UK.... either that or all their pubs blew up.
- Northern Ireland belongs to the UK, the Republic of Ireland doesn't.
  
  NI is part of the UK, for now.
- England ⊂ Great Britain ⊂ United Kingdom ⊂ British isles
  Great Britain is England, Scotland, Wales.
  United Kingdom is Great Britain + Northern Ireland.
  British isles are UK and Ireland.
- Remember that Ireland and Northern Ireland both make up the island of Ireland. The Irish live in (the republic of) Ireland and the Northern Irish live in the northern part of Ireland (Northern Ireland), which is part of the UK.
  Hope that helps.
- Ireland doesn't have pubs. They have bars. Which serve the same function as pubs and look like pubs but they are bars.
  
  Ireland totally has pubs. I think you might be thinking of Boston.

Did you know that alcohol is a class one carcinogenic? Just like tobacco and radiation.
WHO: No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health
- Oh no I will miss out on precious years of wage slavery and paying rent!
  
  Is that all that life is to you?
- So YOU'RE the ice bucket challenge!
- i dont care

Happy to see some of the unoriginal shitposts from Reddit that have been posted over and over for years making their way to Lemmy.
- It was my first time seeing it =/
  
  I was one of today's 10,000, too. I liked it.
  ¯(ツ)/¯
  
  It wasn't mine, but things don't have to be 100% new and original for me to enjoy them.
- Touch it.
  
  This better not awaken anything in me.
- Says someone that's never posted anything at all
- First time seeing this one. Did you know images are often shared across multiple social media platforms?
- Be the change you want to see in the world
- This comment is just as unoriginal
