What's the difference between a bar and a pub?
answers (7)
I believe pubs serve food. At least more than pretzels and peanuts. Another distinction would be the difference between a tavern and pub. Our city's code divides them this way: Taverns serve alcoholic drinks and Pubs serve food along with their alcoholic drinks and are required to have food license as well.
(your local laws and codes may differ)
That being said, Dictionary definitions:
pub - where alcoholic beverages are sold and consumed.
bar - a counter at which food or especially alcoholic beverages are served (so this one has been converted into slang of sorts).
tavern - an establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold to be drunk on the premises

They're called 'bars' in the US and 'pubs' in England.
A bar and a pub are essentially the same thing.
Both bars and pubs sell food and drink for consumption on or off the premises (subject to the licence).
Culturally a bar is probably thought of as a bit more up-market than a pub, but this is not necessarily the case.

Traditionally bars are drinking establishments whereas pubs serve simple (and savory) lunch and supper (and sometimes breakfast).
Some bars may serve snacks and in North America many bars are the nucleus of a "roadhouse" style restaurant.

Bars usually have one long counter, with or without bar stools, for anyone to belly up to. They usually have tables scattered about the place, too. These tables usually seat between two to four drinking buddies.
Pubs (public houses) don't have individual tables. Instead, they have several long, communal tables, with chairs, that anyone and everyone (the public) sits at. You may start out sitting with just your own friends but you'll have plenty of lively company before too long. This is a great way to get to know new people. This seating arrangement is very popular in the United Kingdom (UK) and is getting a bit more popular in the US, too. Lots more fun than going out to sit alone.
Both types of drinking establishments offer food. In most of the US, food must account for a percentage (usually 51% or more) of sales if booze is also sold and served on site.
Cheers!

A Bar is a place to meet chicks. A pub is a place to meet friends.

A pub should feel like an extension of someone's living room. The landlord of the living room should be a sturdy, loyal man, who knows all of his regulars by name and drink. The food should be homemade and the seating comfy armchairs. An open fireplace is always a plus. The alcohol should never be overpriced and the beer always from a tap. There are no fluffy drinks, but real ale and hard liquor. The true "pub" is defined only by the English, Irish and Scottish - where atmosphere and loyalty are very serious elements in the pub world, and where a man is only as good as his local.
A bar, on the other hand, is a place of pretension and extortion. There is little to no seating, the drinks come in a variety of colors and glasses and a cocktail costs more than an entire bottle of real booze. A bar is basically a venue for showcasing egos, and typically an American invention.
