A pub  is an establishment licensed to sell alcoholic drinks
Sounds like a great place. Is that considered the same as a bar?
Of course, drinks sold  include alcoholic drinks,  beer (such as ale) and others such as  cider
Sounds like good variety, I've heard that in villages the pub is often the focal point of the community.
