Related terms: public house · pub
A bar with tables for food service, with an emphasis on drinking and socializing.
A tavern or pub is a hybrid between a bar and a restaurant, with space away from the bar where customers can sit at tables and often order food. It is designed for socializing among friends, and often features recorded music, occasional live bands or karaoke, games, and/or television screens.
The layout includes table space away from the bar. Food can be offered there while drinking and socializing remain central.
Music, games, karaoke, or television are possible supporting activities. No one form of entertainment is required for the tavern or pub designation.
