#22brilliant website which manages to convey classic British humour on a classically British topic. Also shines much needed light on the very serious challenges independent British Pubs are undergoing - these are essential social institutions, social coherence is damaged every time one of these shut down.

#23Interest in context on "government pub rates". New tax scheme?
Pubs are dying. Have been for years.
Many deaths were postponed because their taxes were reduced due to Covid. Those taxes are now returning to normal levels. This will result in a glut of deaths, as pubs that were just hanging on go under.
The policy question is, basically, do we want to subsidize pubs because they're part of our national culture, even though we don't use them nearly as much as we used to?

#24For anyone else who entered a US zip code and was confused by the ‘invalid zip code’ error: this is UK only.
Any plans to release the code? Would be nice to allow others to do something similar for their local pubs.

#25Just getting a totally black map with anonymous coloured dots on both chrome and Firefox. The pub may or may not be fucked, but the website is.
(Yes I tried disabling all the dark settings, no difference)

#26The one near me which is absolutely fucked, as far as I'm concerned, deserves it.
Fighty customers, crap beer, odd opening hours, and half their food menu is off ("sorry mate, we've got no cheese"). Oh, and now their credit card terminal prompts customers for a tip!
I love a good pub, but most are crap.

#27People really struggle when given a link to a web site that isn't for them, huh.

your first clue might have been that it does not say "zip code" in either the field label or the error message, it says "postcode".
Or the term "pub." In the US it's much more usual to say "bar." Maybe "tavern" but that sounds rather dated to my ear.

#29Having watched two alcoholic family members die horribly, spurred on by functioning alcoholic friends whos only social interaction is at the pub through habit only, fuck 'em. Let them die.
We need better social spaces which do not have the token cost of drinks to use.

Ok so because your family were alcoholics nobody should have a space to drink? What an absurd thing to say.
