A public house, informally known as a pub, is an establishment licensed to serve alcoholic drinks for consumption on the premises but does not offer lodging.

Bars provide stools or chairs that are placed at tables or counters for their patrons.

Inns are generally establishments or buildings where travelers can seek lodging and food and drink. They are typically located in the country or along a highway.

A tavern or pot-house is a place where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages. and, more than likely, also be served food. The word derives from the Latin meaning was a shed or workshop. In Renaissance England, a tavern was distinguished from a pub because drinkers were "guests" rather than members of the public.

Bistros are historically defined mostly by the foods they serve; slow-cooked foods like braised meats.

Cafe implies primarily serving coffee, typically complemented by a slice of cake/tart/pie, a "danish pastry", a plain bun, or similar sweet pastry or small plate meals.

A trattoria is an Italian-style eating establishment, less formal than a ristorante, but more formal than an osteria. There are generally no printed menus
