It's called the pub.

It is socially acceptable to shoot the shit with complete strangers at a bar, especially if you're at the bar on a stool; less so between tables where it's usually a group of friends that are gathered.

More generally: people go to these types of establishments often to meet friends, so it is generally impolite to intrude on their conversation.

Again: less so at a bar.
