alehouse
Pint-pouring establishment
An alehouse is a pub or tavern, particularly one that serves ale.
The word sounds old-fashioned or deliberately quaint in modern usage: The village alehouse had served travelers for three centuries.
It suggests a simple establishment focused on drinking rather than dining.
