Pubs shouldn't serve coffee

Go to a coffee shop. Fucking time wasters.

Beagle 2

Had a coffee and a vegetarian burger in a pub yesterday. Both were equally disgusting. £15 the pair.

Hitler loved going to the pub to get a coffee and a halloumi burger.

The thing about coffee shops is that they're all really pokey and I bang into things and they have a machine that goes PSSSHHHH which gets on my tits and all the staff are useless students who look at you like they're only working ironically and you feel obliged to leave as soon as you've had your crappy overpriced cup of stomach upset and anxiety. So there is a place for being in a pub having a coffee.

Agreed - loads of cofffee shops about do go there - oh and take your bloody kids with you

They use the same machine that goes PSHHH in the pub, right? Plus in a pub, you'll get stale beans, because it's a pub.

Well then nothing for me, I don't think it's very clever or smart to drink I want to stay in control

Absolutely right that pubs shouldn't serve coffee, or any other kind of beverage. Mind you, I find it hard to believe that a cup of coffee would ever reach the legal age of 18 to be served in pubs.

Pubs are much nicer than coffee shops. Quieter, more spacious, often cheaper as well. You do get loads of drunk pricks in pubs of course but they are nice to sit in on a weekend afternoon.

I don't think anyone in the history of pubs has ever claimed that it is .....great fun though

and no to coffee...and no to food....apart from crisps, nuts, pork scratchings and pickled eggs

I dunno, there's drinking pubs (no food), eating pubs (shit to drink in) and shitting pubs (Wetherspoons) as no true drinking pub has good toilets.

It's drowned out by all the sad drunk people wailing in despair and puking.

Stoneage Dinosaurs

Well I think it's a good thing. And furthermore I think pubs should serve cupcakes and paninis as well. Also they should all be required by law to play only inoffensive Spotify playlist indie and have 25 charging ports to a table. If you don't like it then you are an old cunt so fuck off to where old cunts go like the dockyards or the bridge club or Somerset.

It's dry January though, surely coffee keeps pubs afloat during these new times.

The people that keep pubs afloat don't observe such bollocks.

Spoon of Ploff

Can we compromise and have coffee flavour beer... or beer flavour caffeine?

Pubs should have to obtain a coffee licence which is conditional on their coffee being drinkable.

I think you're underestimating how long people can keep up walking the tightrope of 'heavy drinker' and 'functional alcoholic'.

What about pubs that open for food several hours before they serve booze? That's definitely not on.

If there's no little jars of cockles and mussels in cloudy brine IS IT EVEN A PUB?

Pubs should serve Denise Coffey though, shouldn't they ? Maybe even give her a couple of pints on the house " There you go, missus, dead funny in " End Of Part One ", so you were. "

I have no idea why I have made this post, or am even bothering to post it.

madhair: Pubs shouldn't serve Nigerians, they should fuck off to a Nigerian shop.

Those aren't pubs. They're off licenses.

PlanktonSideburns

If they sell coffee in the pub, it's a coffee and beer shop, try going to pub that doesn't serve coffee,  this will solve your problem. And it is your problem
