This is a pub

The history of pubs in the UK dates back to the Roman invasion of Britain, when the Romans set up tabernae, or shops selling wine, which, after the Romans left, evolved into Anglo Saxon alehouses.

Following the Anglo Saxon period, Medieval inns and taverns sprung up, to cater to the needs of travellers on the roads, but pubs as we know them today only emerged in the early 19th Century, when the inclusion of bar counters, hand-pumps for beer and tiled surfaces echoed something of the modern boozer.
