I should have stated that I know that pub comes from public house. What I am asking is, what makes a public house different from a bar?

It is from Elizabethan times. Drinking establishments, which usually offered more carnal diversions too, we called Public Houses. Things got a bit weird after Bess kicked off, and over the years the lazy Brits pared it down to one syllable.

isn't a pub open to more people -public house, as in they have beer gardens etc and children areas -they welcome all the family and serve food and drinks, whereas a bar just does drinks and only allows those who are of legal age in?
im guessing!

A public house or an establishment that serves alcoholic beverages and food, but not full meals.

Pubs seem to serve more beer - bars serve more shorts? plus pubs are more cosy to sit in than bars! I prefer to sit in my local pub with its battered seats rather than a posh bar!

To me, a pub (we are talking Irish Pubs aren`t we?) should have an irish band playing irish music, serve only imported beers and have lots of hunky Irish waiters!!!!
