I know that we Europeans love to shit on America, but this is something I am truly jealous of.
Due to the drinking culture here in the UK, diners aren’t really a thing. Sometimes I would love to go out late at night and have a coffee or a cheap bite to eat while chatting to someone, but you’re basically limited to restaurants or bars. You don’t even really see coffee shops open past 6pm, which is a real shame.
I’m not British or anything, but I always thought that in the UK the local pub filled this function? A place to gather socially, eat, drink. I understand most people would go and drink beer there but do they not serve coffee? Tea, at least?

Yeah, Europe is superior to the US.
Europe is a huge continent, with many countries with entirely different rules/laws/customs, so it’s near impossible to say that it’s better or worse.
I can with a straight face claim that Europe is more united than the US is ans has been for a long time
That doesn’t change the fact that they are entirely different countries with their own unique cultures, customs, and rules.
It has absolutely nothing to do with my point regarding diner culture, and speaks of ignorance on Europe.

It does, if you want an alcoholic drink, or want to be around other people drinking. The vibe is very different between the two.
