The EU standard was developed for the purposes of avoiding additional quarantine or testing during cross-border travel, not going to pubs within one’s own country. For domestic use of proof of COVID vaccination, some countries developed their own internal standards alongside the EU standard.
Not currently visiting pubs, I still wait until they stop validating their guests.
