Hi - Definitely you should _not_ tag both the polygon and a node. That creates two objects, and many systems will then think there are two pubs!
This is articulated in this principle: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element If you have a need for POIs as point features, simply convert all relevant ways/relations into nodes while populating your database. It's very easy to calculate the centroid (average position) of nodes in a way.
