not sure about rest of Canada, but pubs for vancouver generally mean food (full meals), whereas bars generally mean just booze and at most tapas
for example, one could say 'lets go to the irish bar' and that generally means just drinking/music etc.. however you could say 'lets go to the irish pub', there would be drinking, food, and generally not live music
to make it very confusing an irish pub will eventually turn into an irish bar..
good question
