As the day ends and you begin searching for nice local pubs close to you, have a look through our five-step guide to making sure you’re pub etiquette is up to scratch.

Leave no man behind. If you’re tagging along to a pub crawl, it should be a bonding experience that brings everyone closer together. Stick to the route and make sure your mates are with you when you leave.
Follow and enforce the golden rule: stay hydrated! Make sure you and your mates are drinking water, especially when they’ve been drinking a lot. They’ll thank you the next morning!
Chips should always be shared. A great way to share is to rip open the bag so that they form a little golden heap on a silver platter. Typically the person who's bought the chips is allowed to take the one great oversized chip at the top of the pile.
Getting your round in is an essential part of drinking society. Make sure you’re not coming across as a freeloader by buying a round of drinks.

With this in mind, keep looking through our directory to find the best pubs open near you now!
