It is an abbreviation of Public House.
In other words a house where anyone can enter and be fed and have a drink.
In the ancient days everyone brewed beer because it was a way to purify water, soon some specialized -- they fixed a branch of green leaves outside to signify they had beer -- and they became the first pubs "at the sign of the bush".

In England it's a bar that usually also serves food. Public House as someone else pointed out. And they do sell spirits as well as beer and wine.

Short for "public house," it's more or less identical to a bar.
