There is also the fact that whilst "traditional" pubs may be disappearing, other drinking establishments are opening.

For instance, in Leeds city centre in the late 80s, there were about eight traditional pubs and a couple of wine bars - now there are over fifty places you can go for a drink (bars, wine bars, cocktail bars, places like Revolution and Tiger Tiger - and I'm not including all the restaurants that have opened over the same period).

In Headingley, there used to be six pubs; those pubs are still open, and another five or six bars have opened.
