gastropub

Fancy bar eatery

A gastropub is a bar or pub that serves high-quality food rather than typical pub fare.

The concept emerged in 1990s Britain, combining the casual atmosphere of a traditional pub with restaurant-caliber cooking: The gastropub had craft beers on tap and duck confit on the menu.

The food tends toward elevated comfort dishes rather than fine dining.
