[OSM-talk] pub vs bar vs club

How do you tag a drinking establishment that is not a pub?  I'm thinking of places where
 * they typically don't serve food
 * the name doesn't start with "The" or have Olde Worlde signs out the front
 * the main drinks are often wine or cocktails, rather than pints of beer
 * there may (or may not) be an area set aside for dancing, e.g. with a DJ
 * in places with ridiculous licensing laws (such as the UK), these places are often open later than pubs, which normally wind down around 11pm or midnight.  A bar or club may not even really get moving before 11 or 12

Pub is definitely misleading in these instances, although the icon of a drink is probably still appropriate
