I wandered the streets of Kemptown with #StreetComplete for a bit this morning. As my eyes scanned the rooflines I wondered, not for the first time, why we don’t have a recommendation of clearly marking buildings that were built as pubs as, well, *pubs*. The #OpenStreetMap wiki says they are building=retail but pub architecture is often bolder and retains lost names in stonework for generations. The Somerset Arms, here, was certainly present by 1848. I haven’t found when it closed. #Brighton

@hisdeedsaredust I'm not claiming to be an expert, but is "disued=pub" accurate?

@between_beyond And you are right for cases where a pub is currently closed, perhaps with the possibility of being a pub in the future, where you would have ‘disused:amenity=pub’

I wonder if there's any crossover between OSM editors and CAMRA members? It would be a perfect task for them to standardise tagging for this, as it would be good to be able to use OSM to discover interesting/eclectic pubs, whilst also not accidentally visiting a disused one that is now a residential house or something else..

@vfrmedia @hisdeedsaredust @between_beyond The cross-over is huge, hence the real_ale=* tag. If you check the symbology of @SomeoneElse's map style you'll even find suitable icons.

@SK53 @vfrmedia @hisdeedsaredust @between_beyond The edit history of out of the way "interesting" pubs is a bit of a giveaway as well...
