How do you feel about gastropubs, /ck/?

>>8588287
Generally overpriced, with middling quality, expensive craft beers in cans. Decoration is always iron pipes, reclaimed wood, and Edison bulbs.

>>8588287
If the food and beer is particularly good I'll enjoy my experience there, but the bill usually makes me unhappy.

>>8588287
okay as long as food is priced well and not served on a wooden plank

>that bun

>>8588287
Overpriced hipster shit. Pub food done in unique ways that are far inferior to the standard pub food it's riffing on in a trendy converted warehouse setting so you can pretend you're someone that should be "seen."

>>8588370
If it's not being served on a wooden slab or sheet of tin, you're not in a gastropub, mate.

>>8588287
Overcooked, steamed burger? Wow how daring!

I prefer old school pubs.

This place, for example, http://www.glasgows-starbar.co.uk/food-entertainment does a three course eat-in meal for £3.

>>8588287
burger looks like fucking shit

>>8588287
that patty and bun look absolutely shithouse

>>8588287
that burger looks fucking gross and dry

>>8588287
they annoy me
just an excuse to charge more when I just want a regular pub to relax.

too many good old pubs are converting to "gastropubs" in order to rake in hipster money

???

In the US "gastropub" just means a place that has a good, rotating tap list, and serves above average bar food.

So it's pretty much just a normal restaurant for people who like beer.

Who goes to a gastropub and gets a turkey burger?

They can be good if they're decently priced and they don't do maymay shit such as serve food like pic related. Hate that crap, just use a regular plate, cunts.

The only pubs that should serve food are cozy inns in the countryside

>American '''''''pubs'''''
>Chain '''''''pubs'''''''

That burger looks fucking disgusting. Where was that taken? Scotland?

What exactly is a gastropub?

>>8590496
Fancy word for a slug.

>>8590139

OBSESSED

gastropubs are basically places for salarymen and salarywomen to get loaded at lunch because they absolutely loathe their middle management corporate lives

>>8590496
Just a silly name for a pub that actually puts effort into its food

>>8590746

i thought a gastropub has a really limited menu

I don't have a problem with them, honestly. I can enjoy a good old-fashioned greaseburger, or some "Wagyu" creation with egg and avocado, whatever, it's all good.

We have a place that calls themselves a "gastropub."
The serve Hamburger Helper. I'm serious. They have a "flavor of the day."

http://www.kickbacksgastropub.com/food-menu-1.html

What's the difference between this and a tavern?

>>8590747
all pubs have pretty limited menus

>>8591849

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair it's in a section of the menu labeled "Vintage" that includes spaghettios and alphabet soup. But the prices holy shit. The hamburger helper is $7.49

>>8591871
don't taverns have sleeping accommodations available?

>>8588287
The food can be pretty good when you're in the mood for different takes on basic grub but I really don't dig the general aesthetic and "culture".

in the americas we call a pub a bar and grill

>>8588287

that burger looks like shit, for one

>>8591889
pubs by definition have sleeping accomodation, I think it's taverns that don't

>>8588287
I feel like that burger looks tasty af

What's the point of serving fries in a cup like that? I don't get it. It's not like it makes them easier to eat.

>>8592423
They're stacked pretty high, maybe they wouldn't fit on the plate otherwise.

>>8592453

I don't believe that.

>>8588287
wtf is a gastropub? is that like a bar that serves good food?

>>8592479

it's quite literally a memestaurant

>>8592479
basically a casual place with good food and good beer

>>8592479
It's a bar/gas station, so you can have a few shots while waiting for your car to fill up.

I don't understand what you could possibly dislike about them

delish! pairing good beer with fancy bar food in a dim lit restaurant stye setting yet with sports on the tvs. i love these places

No lie, my very good, very gay friend bar-tends there. If you see Jessie tell him the hamburger helper won't stop him from getting aids.

Well, /ck/, a.k.a. Trump supporters, has an intense hatred for anything that suggests class or refinement.

not defending gastropubs but that looks like a lamb burger to me. cucumbers and probably tzatziki, looks like the burger has a slab of feta or some kind of goat cheese. dunno if i'm right though

I went to one in Surrey yesterday, paid £13 for a burger (just your standard steak burger cheese and bacon +generic salad) and all it came was with some coleslaw which looked straight out of Sainsbury's and a small portion of chips which weren't crispy enough. They didn't even give me cutlery

>HURRRR ANYONE WHO ISN'T WILLING TO PAY $15 FOR A SHITTY BURGER IS A TRUMP SUPPORTER

Get fucked and go kill yourself

>>8593597
There's a a difference between classy and hipster memeish places
>Muh 20$ shitty burgers
>Muh chocolate fed beef
>Muh 15$ grilled cheese

It's not classy, it's what hipsters think is classy.
