[OSM-newbies] How to get pubs recognised in Food & Drink search

Using JOSM, I choose the preset Food+Drinks to add the details of a pub.  This gives Key=amenity, Value=pub, plus name.  I note that using 'Food & Drink' in the menu of my Garmin Legend HCx does not return any pubs from uploaded OSM data (I am currently using the .img file in a selection of tiles from Lambertus).  At first glance, it appears that what places are returned are restaurants, a category also in JOSM's Food+Drinks preset list.  How then to enable pubs to be returned?  Certainly two amenity entries for the same node are not permissable, and it would seem silly to have two nodes for the same establishment or to give a pub a restaurant value alone.
