(AU) A public house; a pub.
Public hotel is the Australian and New Zealand term for what the British would call a pub or public house. The name reflects the historical licensing distinction where a hotel was permitted to serve alcohol to the general public — the public part of the establishment. Even when the accommodation function was nominal or nonexistent, the hotel label stuck. Today a public hotel in Australia is simply a bar or drinking venue, and locals often just call it a pub.
