A pub is somewhere you should feel comfortable to spend the whole day and even take children during earlier hours. It should be a cosy place, decorated in a friendly and welcoming manner, if a little naff. There should be games available such as pool, darts and a quiz machine. The better ones will even have dominoes, chess and backgammon sets behind the bar. There ought to be a jukebox around with the entire Led Zeppelin discography or at least get the lads to bring their guitars and fiddles and we'll kick up a tune ourselves.
If you're there at lunchtime hours expect pies, fish & chips and a half-decent tikka masala to be available, if your in during later hours than you'll have to make do with crisps, pickled onions and Scotch eggs. If you're good mates with the landlord, however, he may be willing to make you a sandwich when you're absolutely tanked at 1.30 am.
If the pub takes even the least amount of pride in what they do there will be a good choice of real ales such as Hobgoblin and Old Tom served at cellar temperature as these actually taste of something unlike near-frozen mass-produced lagers. The good ol' water-of-life should be in abundance be it Irish, Scotch, Bourbon or otherwise. In short, a pub is the very focal point of civilised society.

I befriended my pub five years ago and no matter the distance or time between us we have always remained close friends.

The place where you can drink away your problems and no-one cares. You can meet other people who have similar problems. By looking at what they are drinking, you can tell if you what their problem is. If you share the same drink then the problem is the same. Also known as the Tavern of False Happiness
Man 1: Dude, my wife just left me.
Man 2: Woah! Sorry to hear that mate. Lets go down to the Tavern of false happiness and get you a double shot of whisky.
Man 1: The pub! Good idea. That bish will not stop me being "Happy"

The person who wrote about the British Isles and Eire must have had one over the eight
in the local pub. Before I give the definition of Pub may I please give a quick geography
lesson. The British Isles is a geographical unit which includes the island of Ireland.
The author of that definition mixed political geography and regional geography in much
the same way as those eight plus the one over appear to have been mixed.
Eire is a different unit to Britain in political geography but not in regional geography.
Ah yes I almost forgot, before I return to the pub for more pints, that definition -
Please underaged barred.
