so disused:amenity=pub ; building=pub (it looks like a pub);
building:use=house (or is it :usage?)

There are similar problems in my area with

- windmills (with or without vanes) that are now ruins/residential
house/museum/...
- watermills (no longer functioning, but the outside still looks like
a watermill, now used as house, etc.)
- bunkers (typically unused)

They could be mapped with building=windmill/watermill/bunker and
disused:man_made=windmill/watermill or disused:military=bunker.
I assume that disused=yes could also be used on bunkers, as they
usually have no other function today. So there is no confusion with
any other tags to which the "disused" could be applied.
This is unlike the windmills and watermills that still function as
house or museum or ...

regards.
