pubs
British drinking spots
Pubs is the plural of pub, short for public house—a British establishment serving alcoholic drinks and often food.
Pubs are central to British social life, distinct from bars in their traditional atmosphere: We visited three pubs in the village.
The word appears in compounds like pub crawl, moving from pub to pub in an evening.
