The chain pubs of Wetherspoons will be a mainstay of options due to their inordinately cheap pints and cheap clientele. -However, many people refuse to ever go into one due to its right wing billionaire owner, who made it his mission to get Britain into Brexit (he also plasters his windows with anti-vax and anti-lockdown conspiracy posters, plus links to the Daily Fail Mail whenever one gets shut down). His vast network of pubs in every town and district was a big source of misinformation and canvassing, that was likely a tipping point in getting the vote pushed through, especially when you bear in mind only 26% of the actual population needed to go for it to be passed. The brand ended up losing billions as people swore off it, and the name went downhill.
Be careful what you wish for - Wetherspoons atmosphere will be the carpet n screen variety, and very busy. Brexiteer pubs:
Also Sam Smiths pubs - which are VERY old school, with wooden floorboards etc. and sell their own brands of booze at much cheaper rates.
They will be the dying Edwardian look and quite emptied. Nothing will have changed since the 80s -I imagine much more up your street
