Taverns were places of business, where people gathered to drink and eat. An Inn is a tavern which has a license to put up guests as lodgers. Inns were generally establishments or buildings where travelers could seek lodging and, usually (but not necessarily) food and drink. They were typically located in the country or along a highway; before motorized transportation they also provided stables.
Generally alcohol can only be served to the public on licensed premises, the pub (short for public house) being the most common place where to get a drink. In recent years more and more bars and clubs have sprung up, concentrating on a younger, more sophisticated and/or seriously affluent market segment.
