I can not find any scenes suitable for this in the normal market places. A few exterior scenes, but none for the interior.
Anyone aware of one?

I'd be interested in a decent one, too, i.e. some old pub scene, as an old Scottish pub is an important location in quite a few chapters.
I'd love a British pub. There is a pub modeled after the one in cheers but a regular pub would be great.
...yeah I've seen a number of different American styled ones and even a post apocalyptic one, but no classic British pubs. Considering a fair amount of my story takes place in the UK, at a bit of a loss, and my modelling skills are nowhere even close to the level of Stonemason's, DZFire's, Faveral''s, or Predatron's.
A German Bierstube and Bierhalle would be nice as well.
Sounds like a good suggestion for David Brinnen, who has done quite a few British themed sets; also KindredArts did a nice exterior. It would be great to have an interior to go with that.
Really you need half a dozen Pub interiors really. I grew up in a fairly small town alongside The River. Although some of the pubs were demolished as the town was "modernised" there were still 6 or more left. and each of them was different from the others.
Here are 2 of them, either side of the local Playhouse. Photo taken a few years ago :-) as you can see by the cars, and working red phone box. They are both still there, but the White Hart has been empty for a while and looks a bit sad. The other is called the Cross Keys.
The city near me is famous for having a pub for every day of the year, and a church for every week. It doesn't have that many any more but you still don't have walk far to find another one. They vary from buildings dating back centuries to those relatively new and come in all different styles, the oldest pub suposedly dates back to the 1200s.
When I lived in Switzerland I went to a guest house in the mountains once and the owner told me that that house had been there for four hundred years. However, the pubs I've been in look pretty much like restaurants with an added bar being the only difference. Similar to that 50's style restaurant in the DAZ Store but done in old style building materials, mostly wood.
British pubs often have a lot of wood panelling for the walls, but many of the older ones tend to be quite pokey inside, lots of small rooms. Not surprising as I believe the word pub is derived from "Public House" which itself came from a time that people started selling alcoholic drinks from their own homes, but they were open to the public (ie a Public House).
This product: http://www.daz3d.com/gentlemens-game-room has some aspects of a British pub, except it would be a very up market one. However some pubs do have more luxury seating like those shown, particularly using the faded textures on the sofas. However the room is too big for most pubs, and more importantly there is no bar, so I would need to kit bash that from elsewhere.
Old village pub
And a more urban one
More bars/pubs would be good. :) I've been collecting 3D ones.
What I need more of is bars/pubs where I can belivably squeeze in a stage. Or better yet, ones that have stages that don't include a metal pole...
There's a very basic interior to the Le Village Bistro which I always thought would make a not bad start to base a British pub interior on (third pic on the product page).

It's one of Faveral's, so it's on sale at the moment - alone or as part of the Le Village bundle.
Those are like I have visited although surely I haven't visited those two. LMAO, I bet some Londoners have visited them all.
Oh, I intend to buy copies of Faverael's entire DAZ Store someday. Very nice.
Don't forget that pubs generally have a lounge bar (with plenty of seating and tables) and saloon bars (usually plainer, not that much seating). Also, it's rare to find a pub these days without pseudo-agricultural ta...decorations (wagon wheels, draft collars, lots of horse brasses) or hunting and fishing jun...adornments for "atmosphere".
The interior of my Parthenon Club could reasonably pass for British. It has bitter hand-pumps and British style pint glasses. Only a small bar though.
This is what my local pubs looked like when I started frequenting them in the middle '60's, usually a lot busier :)
It seems to me the old west saloon interior might be useful for this. http://www.daz3d.com/the-old-west-saloon-interior
The bar itself is a stand alone prop.
So something like Bar Interior wouldn't work for the inside of those pubs? (Granted, probably also a bit upscale and maybe too many windows, but all you'd need to do to fix the latter would be to add a wall prop.)

Not impossible, but not really - it looks mor US or even French in style.
OK, old west bar, gentlemen's club interior, bar stools from who knows where. I think with a little mixing you could come up with several different scenes. BTW the walls in the Gentlemen's Club are moveable.
Just a couple basses on a iRay render.
The bar is too low, we didn't have seats and any bar stools were like long legged milking stools and they were usually moved out the road so we could get standing at the bar. They didn't have backs on them either so it was easier to fall off them once you were drunk :)
Like that one. That's actually similar to how O'Reilly's Pub in Zuerich was inside.
I have that, so I will take a look, thanks
I had not seen this before, and you are right it is reasonably close, and comes with the correct pint glasses too. I guess I had not expected a pub interior to a Roman style exterior.
Indeed it is a nice bar, but would take some kit bashing to make it look more like a traditional UK pub.
Last time I was in the UK, last year, every pub I was in had big beams on the ceiling and a lot of wood on the walls, but the rest was just about the furniture, which you could kit bash from other sets maybe. Big chunky tables in a lot of them though . . . maybe start with an old tavern, medieval type thing, and update with some more modern furniture and lighting? Depends on what you want to show to give the impression as well. Agree it would be awesome to just be able to buy one, but we'll have to wait for a PA to take the hint . . . ?
...for the older more traditional pub
One style of traditional furnishing is a distinctive type of table with wrought iron legs and a wooden top. These mostly date form the late 19th through early 20th century
There's also the draw leaf table, handy when a couple extra mates show up unexpectedly.
...and don't forget the barkeep's domain.
...here's a few pics of a cheeky litle "hole in the wall" place in Portland OR I regularly haunt
LOVE that bar style :) I'd almost say it was Craftsman, but it might be too fancy for Craftsman. Sure is beautiful tho ;)

..,oh and one other extremely important fixture, the beer engines.
