Here in the UK, the pub culture we have is arguably, one of the best in the world. Our unique session beers mean that we can drink, chat, sing, and dance in our local pub until our hearts content without blacking out from alcohol. Session beers and beers with lower alcohol content were created with the pub culture in mind.
There’s not much better than visiting your local, it provides a sanctuary from a long, hard day’s work where you can relax and have a drink with your pals. Saying all of that, have you ever thought about running a pub? In essence, it seems like the perfect job, however, there’s a lot of hard work that goes into it, and it requires the just the right person to manage it. If you love the pub culture, have experience in management, and you have good people skills, then running a pub just might be for you.
Let’s get into why you should run a pub:
- Sense of community – when you take on a pub, you’re not just taking on a business, you’re taking on the heart of your community. Pubs are vital in the UK, and local pubs can become havens or missed opportunities. You’ll be integrated in your community and have the chance to become a core part of it.
- Money – probably the main reason why you’d take on any business venture, to earn money. If you run a successful pub, you can earn quite a bit of cash. Especially if your pub is in an area known for tourists, you’ll have your regulars as well as people from all over the country paying money to drink and eat your food. Add this to the events you could hold to further drive up your sales and you’re looking at a decent income.
- Entertaining – running a pub isn’t a typical job and could be a lot more entertaining than sitting behind a desk or doing manual labour. You’ll run into people of all sorts and be able to have conversations with the most interesting people. As well as working in a fun atmosphere of drinking, dancing, karaoke, bingo, and plenty more.
- Creating memories – how many great memories have you made in your local pub? Well, if you run your own, there’s a chance to make new memories every day that you can look back on with delight.
- Making new friends or reconnecting with old ones – your local pub is the home of connections in your community. There are plenty of chances to meet new people, make new friends and even reconnect with old ones that you’ve drifted from.
