What's the difference between a tavern, a pub, a saloon and a bar?

  • Answer:

    Taverns & Pubs mostly serve beer. Usually no booze. A Saloon is a place where cowboys went to drink whatever they drank and slept with hookers. A bar is a pub that sells liquor :)

It depends if you get offered a fuzzy navel when you show up, can order a fuzzy navel with funny looks, get handed a beer no matter what you ask for or get your glass kicked for asking.

Nothing major, just different words for different parts of the world.

At least as used in Colorado law, a saloon only provides drinks, no food, while a bar provides drinks and food. A saloon is not allowed under Colorado's state Constitution. A measure on the November 2008 ballot to "remove obsolete provisions" regulating quality of alcohol (obsolete because now Federally regulated) would also remove the Constitutional prohibition against saloons.
