There can be pubs with an irish theme (harps and bodhrans nailed to the
wall which rarely have an Irish person in them.  There can be pubs
without an Irish theme where the majority of the customers are Irish.
Usually the two coincide, but not always.

Similarly, most of the gay bars I've been in didn't have a gay theme.  Even
the one that did restricted itself to TVs adjacent to urinals so you
could watch a shopping channel sell tacky garbage (I ended up really
wanting a "bracelet buddy" despite never wearing bracelets).

My limited understanding of the licenced trade in the UK is that
"theme" refers to decor, not activities or clientele.
