STILL:
A pub is short for public house. It is a place where drinks are sold to be consumed on the premises.
A Tavern is a place where alcohol is served with food, but it does not have rooms for guests (as in an inn).
A Bar is pretty much synonymous with pub, however it refers to a long bar at which stools are arranged for sitting.
A pub, bar and saloon are pretty much the same thing. The only thing that differentiates them is the decor. All bars are pubs, not all pubs are bars. All saloons are pubs, not all pubs are saloons.
Just saying.
