All pubs are community pubs to some degree, but some pubs serve their community better than others. A community pub is a licensed hub which encourages social interactions and puts something back into the communities it serves.

LIVE MUSIC	PUB GAMES	COMMUNITY SHOP	POOL/DARTS LEAGUE
MEETING ROOM	NOTICE BOARD	QUIZ NIGHT	CHARITY
SPONSORS COMMUNITY GROUP	USED BY LOCAL GROUPS	BEER/CIDER FESTIVAL	FACEBOOK ACTIVITY
SOCIAL INTERACTION	INCLUSIVITY	PLAY FACILITIES
