A pub that's closed down it's still recognisable as a pub. It's not a park bench or a multi-storey car park. It's just closed. This should be described in sub tags.

No, a pub that is closed is simply not open for business until it reopens the next day. A pub that is disused is no longer a pub. It may become a pub again in the future but for now it is not a pub. The services that a pub provides are no longer available at that place. As a pub it has ceased to be. In short: it is an ex-pub.

To leave a tag that describes it as a pub (when it is not) then add another tag that says it is not a pub is plain daft. Changing it's tagging to show it is no longer a pub, such as disused:amenity=pub is distinctly showing that it is no longer a pub even though it might superficially look like one.

Now I need a beer.
