I think you're looking for rural England

The English may be idiot morons but there is no denying that they have the pub thing completely figured out. Also the old myth of English food being awful is not true, pubs have some extremely good food, and I don't mean just good chips; like, really good food.

my step grandpa dave lived to a 100, was the most selfish and perfectly capitalist man to ever live, and when he was looking death in the face he responded by reading stories about how humanity was going to run out of water and poo poo because in the absence of belief in an afterlife his response was to think humanity would barely outlive him. i loving loved dave so much, he ruled

one time when i was in 3rd grade he gave me a bunch of shotgun shells and i shoved them into my backpack and a hall monitor found them the next day and was like "Oh, well, he said he doesnt have a gun so i guess this is cool"

Never been but that sounds like exactly my scene, or at least the scene I want right now.
A room where you don't have to scream over whatever poo poo is being pumped through the too-loud PA system and food that's like... some roasted onions and mushrooms.
I've had enough fancy for a while.

Sometimes two ingredients taste so much better than 15

Trad English pubs are often split up into two or more rooms. To an American, it's completely mystifying, since usually the same bar serves the different rooms. Often there's a small closed-off room called a "snug". What the etiquette is for how you decide where to go is completely unknown to me, and I know a lot about English beer and pubs. It seems to be some indescribable set of rules that float around in the air.

Good pubs (and, btw, it should come as no surprise that there's a "Good Pub Guide" that is basically the Michelin Guide of pubs, published by a massive quasi-political organization of beer drinkers) have little or no music. Or, if there's music, it's acoustic trad instruments, or maybe an amplified soloist. They don't usually thinks of pubs as music venues.

my favorite story about dave is how back in the 50's he and his buddy were flying around in a plane when they had to make an emergency landing so they landed in some rear end in a top hat farmer's corn field

they land and the guy runs out and says "Are you with the army!?!?"

".....yes?"

"Well, lemme get my tractor and I'll tear down that fence over yonder for you so you can take off!"

"Thank you, citizen."

so this hayseed tears down his fence so my rich rear end in a top hat step-grandpa can take off, and as they're lifting off the ground Dave looks out the window and this rear end in a top hat who destroyed his own property to help him is standing on the seat of his tractor saluting him and dave told me he'd never laughed harder in his life

Honestly if sitting in a pub that looks like something out of a Masterpiece Theatre production is your thing, then they have precisely that kind of poo poo all over the place. Some of them can only be reached on foot via public hiking trails.

We went to a pub for lunch in Hastings a long time ago because the Good Beer Guide said it was old (like 16th century) and also that there were glass displays of mummified cats on the wall, I poo poo you not, 100% accurate.

in ireland it was explained to me that one side of the pub is the pub for like family dining and chilling out and the other is the bar for pounding beers and screaming at football. like at a chili's but don't tell them that.

Oh yea the Irish have their own set of rules, we went into a place in a tiny town (Partry I think) and it was crowded and they served us a fantastically good dinner, but they had to do it in the main room and they were freaked out like we were going to hate them forever and curse their families, and they absolutely insisted that we come back so we could eat in the dining room. (We did)

There is something I could say about why Ireland is a nice place to visit involving much of the staff that works at pubs and restaurants and shops there but I won't.

drat dave ruled. flew a single engine cessna until he was 90 and the Federal Aviation Administration told him: "You are too old to fly alone" so he said gently caress that, and then he mailed them a bunch of loose shotgun shells. that was kind of his thing, passing out shotgun shells as if they were breath mints

Lol we went to another pub (Ennis, Ireland) because my parents in the hotel just wanted to watch Coronation Street and we were like "nope" so we walked a block to a pub and went in and everybody (everybody) in the pub was watching Coronation Street and I couldn't even get a beer.

there was a story a few weeks back in the r/relationships thread about some rear end in a top hat who'd gotten successful enough at his job to get an office and he wanted to cosplay madmen so he bought a bottle of nice wehiskey. and then he would offer clients a drink at, like, 10 AM in the morning and be confused by how nobody wanted a stiff one after breakfast and why he had to drink the bottle on his own

she has learned that she can't hiss at anyone i like and cuddle with so she stopped doing that in front of me. but one of my exes took care of my cats while i was going back home to chicago and apparently she hissed at the ex nonstop even after i showed them where the treats were and told them to give her wet food every night. this fat little piggy of a cat legit sees me as her husband and i love her all the more for it, she hates everyone isnt me and hates everyone who isnt me and gets my attention even more. i love my kitty
