Here you will find the Distilled Wisdom of over 30 years of Pub Night.
The basic idea of Pub Night is that a group of people (known collectively as the Pub Night Council) meet in pubs to drink beer, play dominos and generally put the world to rights. They are, as you would expect a literate bunch. At the moment, we vote for the venue and date of the next pubnight after last orders. This has been known to descend into chaos, in front of international observers. Three different voting procedures were proposed at one stage to change this to a new kind of computer mediated chaos, but were not taken forward.

Pubnight has now moved off GoogleMaps and onto it's own mapserver. There might be some minor glitches and not all icons appear if they overlap so you might have to use the map navigation to zoom in / out and to pan around
Pubnight is now using a responsive theme so it should be a lot more usable on mobile devices - some pages like the town maps have problems in that the map is still too wide but we're working on that.
The Angry Parrot, Cheltenham's first Micropub closed down just before Christmas 2022.
