Hey, British Islanders!

We'll explain German Christmas markets over here when the rest of the world accounts for Irish pubs.

Irish diaspora, cheap and plentiful Irish bands.   And as Beeb already mentioned, a monopoly brewer willing to handle the meta marketing.

Side question: do you have "American bars" in your country?  If so, how are they different from normal bars?

You'll find the occasional "burger bar" or "Western steakhouse". Otherwise, "American" over here is defined by McD, BK, KFC, the occasional Hooters and a TGIF. In Germany you'll also have Pizza Hut.

Can't recall any American-styled bars offhand. American influence is very dominant in fast food though.

Irish pubs can be divided into two types here, the plastic ones for everyone and the "real" ones where the Irish drink. There used to be a particularly fine Irish pub here in Preston, but it slowly lost it's clientele as the Irish economy boomed, got done up as a fake Irish pub and is now an English city centre pub.

In Newcastle I recall one called Old Orleans yet for some weird reason was New Orleans themed; blues tat on the walls and all that. Lots of tatty 'western'/cowboy themed bars too. Sports Bars are also often kind of Americanish. But no specific 'American Bar'

There is also Glühwein in Alsace and Christmas markets but I don't think Syt and the Germans will disapprove nor will they surprised 
Besidesm Glühwein is a good way to dispose of not so good wine 
I tasted glögg thanks to the Swedish Church in Paris and it wasn't that good. Glühwein/Vin chaud FTW!

There's one in a shopping mall in my city, part of a national chain. Lots of burguers, ribs and things like that. Also, unlimited Pepsi refills.

I'm sorry. I apologize for my countrymen for inflicting that on your nation.

Over here Pizza Hut was bought out by Domino's. I still have to try them.

It's not high in my list of ordering priorities, way too many Argentine pizzerias in my city. 

[Ed Anger]

Only time I order Domino's or Pizza Hut is whn I need 3 or 4 and they have those 5 buck deals. I may feed a crowd, but I'm not feeding them well. :cheapo:

It's funny. Over here they're notably more expensive than their competitors.

It might be because there are 4 or 5 national chains plus the regionals and the mom and pop outfits all trying to knife each other.

And Americans are fat.

Same here, Pizza Hut is really expensive........the local competition is both cheaper and better
