The distinction is nuanced and not well defined, but most British
people would think your definition above is certainly not entirely
wrong. They're definitely both places primarily for alcohol but
which may serve other purposes. If there's more wood and brass it's
probably a pub; if there's more glass and chrome and coloured lighting
it's probably a bar.
