It may not have counted "bars" - that is, wine bars, concert venues, hotels and the like.
However if there are pubs you know are still open (they've been closing at a fast rate) which are not in OpenStreetMap.org then do please add them yourself, or let someone know. The map is made up from people like yourself who know their local area.
edits - Running the same Overpass Query gets 255 "pubs".

- SlashmanX 11y agoI do contribute to OSM actually, really good project. Stuff like The Dawson Lounge and Porterhouse Central seem to be missing on their map which are present on OSM and OverPass (Dawson Lounge actually isn't on overpass). Also, it seems they counted DTwo, which is more of a 'bar'.
- maxerickson 11y agoIt's the tagging, the article sticks to "amenity=pub" for simplicity, but OpenStreetMap might tag a place that serves alcohol "amenity=bar", "amenity=biergarten", "amenity=nightclub" or even "amenity=restaurant". Some of that is driven by the data model supporting arbitrary key value pairs instead of being structured, but I think there is also a tendency to try to build a convenient taxonomy that has handy mental "bundles" instead of abstracting things a little bit. A more abstract model might call them all amenity=meeting_place and then have flags for seating, alcohol, food, a dance floor, outdoor seating, etc., and leave the finer categorization up to the end consumer of the data. (I realize someone fooling around with OSM would know this, I'm trying to write for the HN audience)
