Article by Ben King
No just to make clear, this article is not bagging nightclubs, rather, it is just proclaiming the brilliance of pubs in their entirety. As both a pub and nightclub lover, the appeal of nightclubs is by no means lost on me, however this is a pub website and as such, the majority of people reading this are here because of their love of pubs.
So after giving this article some extensive thought, here are the top 5 reasons why pubs make for a better night out then nightclubs. This is not to say you shouldn’t go to nightclubs… just keep this in mind before you forgo the pub.
1. Pubs Have No Dress Code
With pubs, the anxiety of will you get in, are you wearing the right clothes and so on are non-existent, unlike nightclubs which revel in their own pretentiousness. With pubs, one feels they are always welcome, unlike their moody counterparts where one week you can be best friends, and the next you’re just that stranger standing at the door.
2. Pub Bouncers Are Better
And that’s assuming there even is one. For whatever reason, most pubs don’t feel the need to put a massive, roided up muscle man at the door to “welcome” patrons, unlike nightclubs where it is mandatory. Moreso, if a pub does seem to require a bouncer, they tend to be a little more relaxed, and join in celebration when someone drops a beer, as opposed to feeling the need to escort them from the premise.
3. Pubs Are Cheaper
Why a drink in a pub is half the price of a nightclub I will never know, however this is the case and will be for the near future. Pubs are cheaper and as such… are better!!!
4. Pubs Are Everywhere
To go to your favourite nightclub undoubtedly requires a bus, tram, train or taxi ride, whereas to get to your local pub requires nothing more than a short walk down the road.
5. Pubs Are Like Cold Pizza
Just like cold pizza a pub may not be good… but it is never bad, unlike nightclubs which can be just plain shit.
So undoubtedly the debate between pub and nightclub lovers will rage on, however no doubt this article has given you as a pub lover a bit of ammunition when a night clubber decides to speak up.

The pub is Jurnet’s Bar in Norwich UK, location fans! (We were filming another project in there. We don’t generally hang around empty pubs with full camera and lighting equipment. Not since the police made us stop, anyway.)
