About Pubs

A pub, short for “public house,” is a type of establishment that serves alcoholic beverages, particularly beer. In addition, it often provides a place for people to socialize and relax. The social aspect of pub life also makes them a large part of ex-pat life globally as they provide a place to make new friends.

Pubs are common in many countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and Canada. Additionally, they are typically small, informal establishments decorated with wooden furniture, old pictures and signs, and other traditional or nostalgic decors. Such decor creates a cozy feeling where ex-pats from western countries can feel at home and ease their feelings of culture shock.

Pubs often serve a variety of beers, wines, and cocktails. Also, they may offer a menu of food items such as sandwiches, pub snacks, and meals. In addition to serving drinks and food, pubs may offer live music or other entertainment, such as darts, pool, or trivia nights. Many people enjoy visiting pubs to relax, socialize, and enjoy a casual atmosphere with friends.

About Sports Bars

Sports bars are similar to pubs in that they serve alcoholic beverages and provide a space for people to socialize and relax. However, sports bars differ from pubs in that they are specifically designed to cater to sports fans. Also, they often have several televisions showing different sporting events. Sports bars may also have a greater emphasis on food. They may offer a broader range of menu items, including traditional pub fare and more substantial meals. In addition to providing a wide selection of drinks and food, sports bars may also have several games and activities available. You may find pool tables, dart boards, and other forms of entertainment. Sports bars are popular places to gather to watch live sporting events, particularly major tournaments or matches involving popular teams.

The Reason Ex-pats Love Pubs & Sports Bars

Many ex-pats enjoy going to pubs because they provide a sense of community and familiarity in a new and often unfamiliar environment. Pubs are also often social gathering places where people can relax, drink, and engage in conversation. They can be a good place for ex-pats to meet new people and make connections, especially if they are living in a country where they do not have a strong social network. Also, pubs often have a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. This can be comforting for ex-pats who may feel homesick or isolated in a new place.

Types of Food Served at Pubs and Sports Bars

Pubs and sports bars typically serve a variety of food items, including traditional pub fare such as sandwiches, burgers, and other simple dishes. In addition, some pubs may offer more substantial meals, such as roasts, stews, and other hearty dishes that are popular in the local area. Many pubs also offer a range of snacks and appetizers, such as chips (also known as French fries), nuts, and pickled eggs. In addition to serving food, pubs may also offer a selection of non-alcoholic beverages, such as soft drinks, tea, and coffee.

Pubs in different countries or regions may serve different types of food, depending on local culinary traditions and preferences. For example, pubs in the United Kingdom may serve traditional British dishes such as fish and chips, bangers and mash, and pies. In contrast, pubs in Australia might offer more diverse menu items such as burgers, sandwiches, and seafood. Overall, the types of food served in pubs can vary widely depending on the location and the specific establishment.

In South Korea, many pub menus include popular items like burgers or fries topped with local ingredients like egg, kimchi, or gochujang sauces. Try all the local combinations to see if you find something fun and new to love. Additionally, the food may substitute like local bacon styles, bread types, or meat variations due to the availability or cost of imported ingredients.
