I don't think I've ever heard that word used in conversation by Americans. I never spent much time on the West Coast once I hit drinking age though so maybe just not in Texas. There are plenty of businesses named "whatever pub" in any US city, usually Irish themed as others are saying but I never hear them referred to as "pubs" in conversation, usually "restaurant" or "bar".
