American here. To me, a pub and a bar are different, but similar.
A bar is where people go to get drinks. They might serve food, but rarely does anybody actually order some. A pub on the other hand, has a greater focus on food and is commonly visited to get food along with their beer.
Of course, I imagine plenty of fellow Americans would disagree with me.
