American here. To me, a pub and a bar are different, but similar. A bar is where people go to get drinks. They might serve food, but rarely does anybody actually order some. A pub on the other hand, has a greater focus on food and is commonly visited to get food along with their beer. Of course, I imagine plenty of fellow Americans would disagree with me. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
