Pubs vs Bars and Clubs

Posted by tenzarelli on 24 September 2008 in English.

I am filling out the various pubs, bars and clubs in London am wondering if amenity=pub is fine for all of these categories.

Please message me if you happen to know

Aha pub mapping. This is important!

Well we have amenity=nightclub too.

...but in some cases you'll have to make a judgement in deciding between the two. Similar problem for cafes vs restaurants.

There's various other tags you might think about for pubs. I guess cuisine=english (or something) for those that do food. And wifi=free now shows up on http://www.opencyclemap.org/ . Not sure what we're doing about outdoor seating capacity. Seems like an important thing to record, but I've been just whacking this info in a note. "amenity=biergarten" is valid apparently (just big german style biergartens?)
