Colm O'Brennan discusses what makes a good pub,
Good housekeeping which is very important. The other obvious one of course is the facilities, like toilets. One aspect of bar business which is very important and that is the question of service. The service of the barman and the attitude of the barmen. It is not the first drink but his attention to your requirement should you be there for a night.
