Hi, I have a doubt, reading the guidelines, I read that alcohol stores are not allowed.
But I also read that if BAR and PUB sell alcohol, yes.
So the BAR and PUB of my city could become pokestop?
or are they considered as generic business?
Thank you

Like everything else, they would need to meet criteria. Just because they are acceptable doesn't mean they will be approved. Make sure your description is well detailed, and use the supporting statement to point out how they meet criteria.
thanks a lot, for the clarification
In britain most pubs and bars get approved so long as it's the only bar in the area or has a rich history
Liquor stores are where you purchase alcohol and leave to consume elsewhere. Bars and pubs are social gathering places where alcohol is sold and consumed. It's not the alcohol that makes them ineligible, it's the narrow purpose of the liquor store that makes them ineligible.
From the guide:
Nominations that are images of adult-oriented stores or services
Including liquor stores, adult entertainment, **** ranges, firearm stores, etc. Establishments that serve alcoholic beverages like bars and pubs are acceptable.

Note that it says images of, other candidates at these locations are allowed as long as they are not related to the adult oriented business. This was also the answer to a question in an ama regarding murals at marajuana (sic) stores.
May be slightly off-topic:
In some cases, liquor stores are actually repositories of public arts artifacts
