A PUB (3 letters) and a BAR (3 letters) are both places for a pint. A PUB is a traditional British drinking establishment, typically serving alcoholic drinks such as beer, wine, and cider. Pubs are usually family-friendly and serve food. A BAR is a more modern type of drinking establishment, often serving cocktails and other mixed drinks. Bars are usually more adult-oriented and may not serve food. Both pubs and bars are popular places to socialize and enjoy a pint.
