How about Tavern?

Answer 4

yes, they still use word 'bar' but its not as common as PUB.

Answer 5

I'm from England and I say pub... not sure if everyone does though.

Answer 6

yep it is pub, even the American say it.

Answer 7

"Pub" is short for public house and it is just what they say.

Answer 8

I'm in Scotland and I call it pub.

As for the person behind the bar, they would be called barman or barmaid.  I never actually call them this though, and would just say something like 'Go and ask the guy behind the bar'.

Answer 10

a club here is a place of loud music, dancing and lights.

a bar is loud music, dancing and lights - but more sitting around in comfy seats with friends.

both above found in towns/cities and open only at night.

pubs are quieter music n more for socialising watching sport/over meals, and smaller. also found in villages - and most allow children,and open during day...

Answer 11

I am from England and from where i live (North)  Bar and Pub tend to mean different things. We use the word Bar if it is quite posh and upper end of the market but we use Pub for the average run of the mill place and is where you will darts and pool where as in a Bar you wouldn't. A Club is different to. A Club can refer to different places. For example a Night club is where people dance and is more about the music rather then socialising and doesn't have things such as darts and pool and then there is Social Clubs which as you can tell is about socialising, these are normally for the older people and do have darts and pool sometimes.

Answer 12

a pub and an american bar are very different, bar here usually means the bar in a hotel, the term bar tender is not used .  alternatively bar can mean the serving area of a pub, worked by a barman or barmaid.

Answer 13

Neither- I call it home. Good old alcoholism...

Most of the time I'll say pub. It's easier and everyone knows what you're talking about!

I can't think of many places that would be called bars but couldn't be called a pub... I think as long as you can sit down with a drink, it's a pub!

---Edit---

I think another difference is that some pubs serve food, whereas bars don't (they might do chips, but that's about it).

The bars where I live are louder than the pubs, and more expensive. They also tend to have bouncers on the door at weekends.

Clubs are open post pub hours (ie normally 10pm til about 3ish). They're far darker, tend to smell like sick and everything is sticky. Perhaps I just go to dives...

Answer 14

a pub and a bar are two different things.

so we will use the word Pub when it is a Pub and Bar when it is a Bar.

a Pub, is a big house, that is licensed to sell alcohol. Pub is short for public house. The owner, or landlord will live in the house as well as work in it.

where as a bar or club, is a venue, with music and dancing, lights, etc
