I think the symbol is fine, but there seems to be a line of white
pixels on the right hand edge, which looks like it might be a rendering
error.

I'm not sure that pubs are more important than many other features of
the map that are not shown - for example shops. If it were my map, I
would remove pubs and put them in some sort of clickable overlay.
