En el Reino Unido la palabra pub se aplica a cualquier establecimiento autorizado a servir cerveza, vino y otras bebidas alcohólicas. Por tanto, no es necesariamente lo mismo que un pub español y puede traducirse por taberna, bar, etc. Formalmente, es abreviación de public house y en Estados Unidos se llama bar.
