    I'm gonna throw this out here, because I think its interesting. In England in the 1600's, with the introduction of coffee and coffee houses, there was actually an attempt by Parliament to outlaw coffee houses, which people were going to instead of taverns. The reason being that when you go to the tavern and start talking politics with your mates, you're going to be drunk and so, when you start chanting 'down with the establishment' its no concern, because that's just what you do after a few flagons of ale, but when you start chanting it in the coffee house, well that's when you should take it seriously. The justification for this attempted banning of coffee houses, was a widespread claim that excessive consumption of coffee caused male impotence, so it was a public health measure.

      TrainMaster15 it’s more like they think you are more likely to forget what your chanting about when your drunk , but if you aren’t and chant that you know what your saying.

      Simply put, you go to the pub and talk politics, you're drunk and are just going to ramble drunkenly and isn't really that important to the authorities. When you're in a coffee house and start talking politics, you'll be sober and so its rather a concern to the authorities what you are discussing

    • @tedarcher9120
      @tedarcher9120 6 років тому +56

      Or the authorities wanted to hear what drunk people chanted about them, and sober ones were not so eager to do that

      We have a bar that is existing for over 400 years.
      It's called "The blue hand", due the fact that back in the day workers next to the bar coloring different kinds of textiles.
      And after work they propably still had residu of blue dye on their hands when they grabbed a beer in the pub.

    FYI witch iconography is connected with female brewers - the ale broom, the “witch hat” they wore at the market to distinguish them as selling beer, cats to keep away vermin eating the hops and wheat, and even the cauldrons they used. They were the original home brewers.

    False.
    Taverns aren't only for drinking or eating, its also where you purchase mercenaries, books, fight beligerent drunkmen (unless you're well known, then they realise their mistake), talk to travellers so you can find your companions, selling prisioners for slavery and paying 1000 dennars to the tavern keeper to give everyone else the food and drinks.

    Ale houses were the equivalent of British Off Licences, Off means you drink off premises, taverns are pubs but Inns are pubs that have hotel rooms. You often couldn't drink the water safely in towns and cities but you could safely drink beer so you would drink small beer that only had a small amount of alcohol in the day so people weren't as constantly drunk then as you might think.

    In my country we had konoba's. Konoba is another name for basement. Houses were built from stone with minimal usage of wood which was reserved for floor planks and wood beams because of deforestation problem which was present in medieval Dalmatia. Some families that had more then one building converted their konoba's into taverns using their basement or what would be more inclined with English and American view their ground level floor to serve food and drinks (mostly vine). Kitchens were separate from main building of your house to lower fire risk and were equipped with fireplace and bread oven. Famous "peka" was prepared here with other type's of baked and grilled meat and fish and different type's of stews. Preserved food like salted meat and fish were served as well with most famous of them "pršut" and "slane srdele" and pickled food as well. Konoba's offered cool environment to shelter yourself from summer heat and nice warm environment to hide from winter cold and "bura". Upper levels were used by the owners family to live in or were rented.
