Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

You can get a wider range of quality drinks at lower prices from a supermarket

They need to offer either food of a quality you can’t get at home (true gastro-pub experience) or alternative entertainments - live music, poker nights, sports viewing etc.

You have to understand what the attraction of the English pub was in the first place.

Scientists have discovered 'third state' between life and death - WKRC

The pubs with the best chance of survival long-term recognize that they can’t just get away with the same 3 beers, ropey wine and pub-grub. Why pay more for something worse than you can get at home for less?

Your home has more comfortable seating and a garden

Comfortable seating in a warm, cozy environment, or a nice pub garden

Why would Trump make conspiracy claims that Haitians are eating pets in Ohio?

But now:

Back in the day (early 20th century and before) the English pub offered things you couldn’t get in a working-class home:

Entertainment (pre TV and radio)

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

You have 1001 sources of entertainment on TV and the Internet

You can get takeaway or even cook yourself a wider range of food of good quality

Can you show pictures of your penis, big or small?

In the mid to late 20th century they added food, without the inconvenience of cooking it or washing up.
