I'm trying to be normal today and do my actual job instead of falling into a hyperfixated rabbithole of how pubs work and how they can possibly be so different despite being in essentially the same location and about the same size. But I can't get it out of my mind!

Both of them had dogs in, so it can't be that. The more expensive one was much more brightly lit, so maybe pub-grade lightbulbs are very expensive? 🤔

Any subject-matter experts hanging about who can put me out of my misery?

Different priced drinks, especially that much disparity, will give you pretty different clientele as well. More expensive place might just want to avoid the crowded, rowdy nights you're more likely to have at the cheaper pubs.

If there isn't a consistent threat of getting punted then I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to go out.

We will most certainly be choosing the cheaper place for our next rowdy night out. Which at our age will probably be in like, ten years or so.
