Gastropub Derived from the combination of the words "gastronomy" and "pub", gastropub is a British term for a public house specializing in high-quality food a step above the more basic "pub grub." It was coined in 1991 when David Eyre and Mike Belben opened a pub called The Eagle in Clerkenwell, London. The word also signifies a dining trend toward combining regional cooking with quality local ingredients, and a shift from formal bistro and restaurant eating to more informal local pub dining. Ombi proudly has been at the forefront of Nashville's growing "cocktail culture," pairing carefully selected and attractively priced wine, beer and specialty cocktails with modern cuisine unbound by culinary categories and without the elevated expense and pretension.

... never heard the term, but I quite like it!
