As a Michigander, that pub looks like the most stereotypical UK pub that can be. Like, that is what I see in my head when I think of a UK pub.

Really? When I'm going to a pub in the UK it's called something like "The Old George" or "The King's Inn", the building must be a few hundred years old with a door frame so low it bonks any unsuspecting patron right in the head. There are at least two fireplaces lit, minimum requirement of one sleepy old dog who's been there since forever and all the furniture looks like it's been hand carved way before anyone came up with the idea of DIN standards. The only music playing is of course made by some fiddler and a patron singing off-key since they had at least a few pints too many.

That sounds rural to me. My exposure is from things like this, this, this, this type of thing.

To be fair, there are both types of pubs. Since I do not care for sports or fancy places, I always go to the more quaint ones. I love those links, by the way. Thanks a mil.
