Pubs have had a torrid time in recent years; roughly 20% have closed across the UK over the past decade as people opt for cheap booze from supermarkets, while many Gen Yers are spending their money elsewhere. Is there anything that can save this British institution, or is time for last orders?

The choice between an orange juice or a lime and soda for people who aren’t drinking alcohol could be about to end thanks to Seedlip – a brand that has created a range of distilled non-alcoholic spirits. As more people go ‘dry’, brands are paying more attention to their soft-drink offerings.

Pubs in Australia are having to adapt to changes in drinking culture in order to stay afloat. With people drinking more at home, and less in pubs, landlords in rural locations have had to focus on food offerings in order to entice Aussies back to the pub.

Activity drinking used to involve a game of pool at a bar or a few pints at the bowling alley. But venues and event organisers are now offering good value and a full evening of entertainment by combining food, booze and social games of bingo, ping pong and crazy golf – all in one location.
