Most pubs I've been in, themes have been about decor. Like the pub named "Walpurgisnacht" and decorated accordingly, but there were no battles against witchcraft there. Like the pub with many shelves of books, which nobody read. Like the pub with a fake tree built into a corner. Like the pub called The Buccaneer, decked out [pun intended] as a sailing ship, but there were no acts of piracy. "Theme" is the wrong word to use. A pub with many pool tables is not themed around playing pool. A pub with many dart boards for practise by its darts team is not themed around darts. Right now I can't think of a good word for a pub specializing in a particular interest (many pool tables rather than just one), but "theme" isn't it, -- Paul
