You're making a class distinction based on the word 'bar', and it may or may not hold.... Here there are nice bars and dive bars, and both bright and dark taverns and pubs. The place ecurbh and I go to most is a bar, but it's bright with wood paneling, and no loud or live music. I'd say the word pub implies an English or Irish theme... and usually a stage for acoustical music... I don't recall there being any stage in The Green Dragon.... I'd say it's closer to what I would call a tavern.

Probably doesn't hold elsewhere. But in this one little town, pub usually means restaurant that also serves alcohol and is fairly nice, and bar means...dive.
So I've grown up thinking of bars as being smoky, noisy holes. Which I know isn't true, but...just sayin'.

And speaking of such...it's time to head home so I can get as much sorting and packing as possible done before I head to O'Shea's for the session!

Are the "pubs" you speak of open to minors? or are they primarily a 'bar' that also serves food and has music?

I think meeting a guy at a bar during an Irish Session would be just swell! If'n a gal wants to be approached at all, that is...

Oh!
I meant the local commuter "light-rail" train that takes me to my job in Baltimore and back home.

Will Varner: I was young myself once. I used to hide in the greenery and hoot and bellow.
Clara: I'll bet you did. I'll bet you stayed longest and yelled loudest.
Will Varner: Your mama listened.
