pub

Everyone seems to call the corner/neighborhood bar a "pub". Why? what can you possibly gain from this? Seem more European/British/Irish? Please. The L&L Tavern, J&R Tap, Phyllis's Musical Inn, Foley's Bar - they're all one thing: Neighborhood bars. corner bars. The local Tavern.

Please stop calling these places "Pubs" generically. You're in Chicago. Call them "bars", call them "Taverns". "Taverns" sounds better anyways, and possibly more pretentious, if you're into that sort of thing.

I have a feeling if you say "pub"........you are.
