Some places just say: “This is a good place for a beer.” It helps if they’re bars, but they don’t have to be.
I’m not totally convinced that this place is a bar for example, despite the sign, but it’s DEFINITELY somewhere I want to have a beer.

You want to have a beer just standing in the sea, do you? You can do that anywhere. You can do it at Morecambe or Bridlington.
