Pubs - a comparative study

Pubs in the US have a very different feel to them than to those in the UK. For some reason, here they like them long and narrow, with a long bar taking up most of the space in front. Perhaps that's why US pubs I think could better be labeled as bars. UK pubs are in general more spacious, less noisy, and have much funkier names. In UK pubs carpets, sofas and armchairs are a common feature, making the place feel warm and cosy, a bit like home.
In my estimate, the selection of beverages on offer is more or less the same in the two countries, except perhaps for the fact that US pubs stock European beer, even on draught, whereas in pubs in the UK most American beers are totally unknown. In the US, the bartender is Irish. In the UK, he's from Poland.
