I mentioned a couple of these in another thread:

Trying out new beers that haven't been available anywhere else...

Or that have been tried in bottle or can but there's a possibilty they could be better in cask or keg.

Drinking well remembered beers that aren't available in the same quality in bottles or cans.

Meeting friends or family for a chat without having to put your house in order first.

Bumping into people you don't know, or haven't seen for a long time.

Being acknowledged by staff or regulars as someone they recognise even though neither of you particularly wants to start a conversation.

Appreciation of the architecture or ancient features of a pub building or interior.
