The name "pub" is short for "public house". In old times, the public house was where the villagers (or neighbourhood people) in Britain, met in the evenings to discuss social matters and have a nice time. Of course they had a glass or two of their local ale. Over the centuries this public house has evolved into what you can call a bar today. In American English, bar is the building/business where people buy and drink alcoholic drinks. In British English that place is called a pub, and bar is where the bartender serves you the drinks, i.e. the counter.

Bar in New Zealand also. That's right a public bar. If your going to a pub then you can go in casual wear. A bar is trendier than a pub, and also has a dress code.
I know this has nothing to do with your question, but when I read some of the Qs and Ans, I notice people use the abbreviation "cuz" for because. Cuz is short for cousin to us, we use coz.

public house or public bar . a hotel or bar where alcohol is often served & until the last 25 or so women folk weren't welcome . really good ones have the atmosphere of a tradesmans guild or a freemasons lodge as gentlemen gather together at the end of the busy working day to discuss the passing of the day or to arrange the next days work (so their wives are told )while having a pint , seven , pot or schooner depending upon the area the pub is in .
it once was often considered a right of passage for a boy into youthhood to accompany his father for a drink of raspberry soda or lemon squash & 20 cents for the pooltable

A bar, sometimes with extras.
Term used in UK and Australia. Serves drinks. Sometimes food (lovely pub dinners!). Sometimes will have pool tables and/or darts. Sometimes will even serve as a hotel or sorts with rooms above.
I hope that helps.

Its short for "Public House" - its a place that sells alcoholic beverages, and often features pool tables, gaming machines, big tv screens for sport, live music, juke boxs etc
Its different from a nightclub in that the focus is less on dancing and music, and more on general socializing

A pub is a bar. "Pub" comes from what the Irish call a "Public House" where people socialize (drink beer or liquor, shoot darts, ect.)
