I've been having a look at Luton with a view to filling the gaps in the photo column, and came across this one, and I'm not entirely sure it should really be classed as a pub.
I know we don't really have a definition, but whenever this subject has come up, people usually mention things like no admission charge, free to walk in off the street and purchase an alcoholic (or non-alcoholic) beverage. The Est Bar is airside at Luton Airport, i.e. you not only have to have a passport and a plane ticket, you have to check in your luggage and go through a scanner and possible body search before you get to the part of the airport where the bar is situated. Now, that's a little more complicated than just stepping off the street. I've heard of gagging for a drink before, but I have to confess I've never been that desperate.
There are two reviews, both of which make it clear this is not somewhere that you would go for a drink unless you were already intending to board a plane. I suppose there's an argument that anyone anticipating a wait for a plane at Luton Airport might check this website, but I think that's pretty unlikely. And would the bad reviews put them off? I don't think so.
I'm not suggesting it should be deleted because it's awful; I'm not even suggesting it should be deleted because I can't see how I can get a photo of it; I'm suggesting it should be deleted because it doesn't appear to fit the criteria for a pub.
Apologies if this should have been posted in a different forum. Perhaps you could move it to somewhere it will get more responses, because I'd be interested in what other users think about this.
Cheers
