> Is it actually an offence to be drunk in a bar?
In the UK it is under the 1872 Licensing Act (section 12).
Being drunk on a public highway (i.e. the street), a public place or even
licensed premises. As a reflection of its age, however, the 1872 Licensing Act
is particularly tough on drunks in charge of a bicycle, pigs, sheep, cattle
and/or a steam engine.
