I know that we Europeans love to shit on America, but this is something I am truly jealous of.
Due to the drinking culture here in the UK, diners aren’t really a thing. Sometimes I would love to go out late at night and have a coffee or a cheap bite to eat while chatting to someone, but you’re basically limited to restaurants or bars. You don’t even really see coffee shops open past 6pm, which is a real shame.
I’m not British or anything, but I always thought that in the UK the local pub filled this function? A place to gather socially, eat, drink. I understand most people would go and drink beer there but do they not serve coffee? Tea, at least?

It does, if you want an alcoholic drink, or want to be around other people drinking. The vibe is very different between the two.
