[edit | edit source]
An ice bar, sometimes associated with an ice hotel is a drinking establishment primarily made of ice. The bars usually contain ice sculptures and other formations and are kept at low temperatures (generally about -5 °C) to hinder melting. The walls and seating are also usually made of ice. Mostly a novelty, the ice bar is often considered a tourist destination.
Public houses
[edit | edit source]A pub, also referred to as "public house", is a house licensed to sell alcohol to the general public. It is a drinking establishment in Britain,[6][7] Ireland,[8] New Zealand, Canada, and Australia.[9] In many places, especially in villages, a pub is the focal point of the community. Samuel Pepys described the pub as the heart of England.

Such establishments came into prominence in the United States during the Prohibition era (1920–1933, longer in some states).

An inn is a tavern which has a license to put up guests as lodgers. The word derives from the Latin taberna whose original meaning was a shed, workshop, stall, or pub.
