It's not just a matter of the brands of beer that are sold (a British pub might not have draught Guinness or Murphy's but it would be unusual for an Irish pub not t have at least one of those on draught). An Irish pub is very likely to have formal or informal folk singing accompanied by bodhrans (traditional Irish hand drums). Less likely than in years gone by, regulars of an Irish pub in England might be hostile to English people. The cultural differences are significant; it's more than just a fake veneer of fad-of-the-month cultural appropriation. -- Paul
