A pub that's closed down it's still recognisable as a pub. It's not a

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.
