The slow build thread - my first ever build

Pardon my ignorance. Would someone please define "pub" versus "bar" and "tavern"? Not being funny, just would how you view it. Thanks.

The way I understand it is; "pubs" and "taverns" are typically characterized by the fact that they serve food, and offer lodging. The term: "tavern" took over "inn" in popularity, but the two words were used interchangeably. "Pub" is short for "Public House", which is pretty much the same thing as a "tavern". There is also a general "look and feel" to a pub. They're typically smaller and more rustic, and offer games like darts, billiards (snooker), backgammon, etc. It's really an artifact of a bygone time. They weren't places to go and dance, and listen to live music and be seen. They were places where people would congregate with other members of their community and discuss the matters of the day... and get drunk.

The American revolution was planned in pubs and taverns.
