You can legally drink when you're 16 at some places here as long as you have a parent with you and they buy the alcohol.

In the US you have to be 21 to go into a bar or to legally buy alcohol. I don't think they allow you in if you are under 21.
In restaurants with a bar however anybody can go into one to eat and many families bring their children but underage kids are not permitted to sit at the bar.
My brother was friends with a guy from Eastern Europe in college (I forget which country he was from) and he said that in his country there are no age limits and they serve you booze as long as you are tall enough to see over the counter.

I am not sure if there is an official specified difference, I think most people say pub, but the words can be fairly interchangeable tbh. 'bar' feels like a modern Americanisation (though I am probably wrong there). If I had to describe a difference you could say a bar is a busy late night town/city centre type affair where it gets rammed with youngsters looking to get drunk before moving on to a nightclub whereas a pub is a quiet, friendly, cosy place (with carpet) where the locals know each other, the landlord is on good terms with the regulars and you have a sense of community there (often with a darts team, pool team, cricket team, etc).
I live in a small quiet village and we have some really great country pubs in the local area. Myself and a friend go every 2 months to a new one to have dinner and catchup. Went to one recently really close to where Kate Middleton's family live
Some bars in the US are like that too, and then you have some scary bars that are kind of dangerous to hang out in like biker bars. Those places have motorcycle gangs that often hang out in those establishments and if you cause trouble they'll hurt you or even kill you and they often do illegal activities there, we have sports bars too, and you also have strip clubs which are bars where naked ladies dance for you while you enjoy a drink.
I'm pretty sure they have strip clubs in the UK too?
There's several here in Pensacola.

Chris Walken : Whats the difference between this bar and an elephants fart ?
This is a "bar room" , an elephants fart is a "baroom" !

I remember a joke from Will & Grace when Will told Karen "I'm a lawyer, so unlike you that means I have actually passed the bar"
(Karen is a drunk)

There's several here in Pensacola.On the pub side you get lots of ones that are local, for local people. These have a certain way about them and if you are not a regular there then you are simply not welcome. It's often pubs at the heart of of poor communities that are more likely to be like this (people make snobbish jokes about pubs with flat roofs) I used to drink in one when I was a teenager and it was very much like that to outsiders, but lovely to be in as a local. There are a few notorious ones a few miles from there and I played in a pool team in my teens and went to one, during my match a bloke at the bar warned/threatened me that if I won I had better leave pretty quickly as it would get nasty in there. I pretty much sh*t my pants
and yeah we have strip clubs, quite a lot of them I think though they are often discreetly hidden away in towns. There was a brief time in the late 90's when a bar called The Honeypot became a big thing, it was a normal busy town centre bar but the bar girls were all great looking and if you gave them £5 they would remove their top for a few seconds. wtf!
