Product Description
Pubs are distinguished as much by their interior décor, as by the beer and liquor they sell and the customers that mingle around the bar. These qualities combine to give a ′local′ its particular appeal, with a draw far beyond its immediate locality. These very unique, idiosyncratic attributes of pubs, which were once taken for granted, are now in real danger of extinction, as bar chains with standardised designs and drinks′ menus are rolled out across city centres and main streets.
Turning its back on the trend towards homogeneity of today′s watering holes, Pub Scene celebrates the often exuberant, sometimes elegant décor, and always singular, wow factor of public drinking places, whether they are big or small, traditional or contemporary. In her engaging and anecdotal style, author Jane Peyton describes some of the world′s best looking pubs, including British Victorian Gin Palaces, classic Art Nouveau Belgian café bars, Germany′s Beloved bierkellers, Australia′s amazing beachside beer–gardens and America′s notable brew–pubs.

Fun and accessible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pub Scene (Hardcover)
It's written in a fun and accessable way. Gorgeous photos of some really stunning pubs. Would make a great gift for anyone who likes pubs. Gives the addresses and opening hours of the pubs so you can go and visit them yourselves. I've already visited two and was not disappointed.

An Intriguing Insight into the British Pub,
By Jimmy Cooper "jimmy cooper" (Twickenham) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pub Scene (Hardcover)
I found this, like the book "Last Orders:" Life as a Pub Landlord by Chris Pitts, gives an intriguing and hilarious insight into the centre of the British Universe; the great British Pub! Buy them both, you won't regret it!
