Why are 99 percent of pubs built on street corners?

Answer 1

The inside of pubs used to be divided into a saloon bar and a public bar. The saloon bar was set up for a posher clientele. Location on a street corner allowed two separate entrances to keep two separate clienteles from interacting inside and out. Additionally, the street corner location made the pub stand out in a block of businesses, and made for ease in deliveries of supplies and in transport of clientele.

Answer 2

Pubs are often built on street corners because that location offers more visibility and foot traffic, attracting more customers. Street corners also provide more space for outdoor seating and easier access for patrons entering and leaving the pub. Additionally, being situated on a corner can help create a more welcoming and approachable atmosphere for passersby.
