a book store with a café
This is easy because the tags don't overlap.
shop=books
amenity=cafe
a café by day and a wine bar by night
I saw something like this before, and they are usually two businesses with different names. I used two separated POIs (points) placed in the same building area to denote them. In this way, I can also put different names, opening_hours etc to the two POIs.
In the case of the café/bar, they are distinctly the same place. It's actually something I've run across several times in different places, usually they're more upscale than your typical café. Pretty good venue for a date that you're not sure how long you want it to last!
it is common practice in the u.s., at least, to use two nodes for big chain drugstores, where the shop, marked chemist, often has wildly different hours from the pharmacy. they have the same name and much of the same info
Always check wiki for the particular case. E.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dbooks#Cafes_inside_bookshops
I'm dealing with some weird ones, like laundromat cafés and stationery shop cafés. But at least it looks like I can add an amenity tag to most of these. It's just the bar/café that I'm really struggling with.
Make two POIs. Done.
No, they are really fused together. The idea is that you drink something while waiting for your laundry to be done.
Hmm, I can't find any guidance for my particular use case.
(I just wanted to make that joke, don't actually spend effort on this :P)
There's a whole section on the Canadian page in the OSM wiki for how to map Tim Horton's depending on if they're inside of other places or not, haha.
Hahaha I love that.
I would do a node with the following tags:
amenity = cafe
amenity = bar
opening_hours:bar = Mo-Fr 19:00-02:00
opening_hours:cafe = Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00

I have asked myself the same question a few times. A very common combination here is also shoemaker + key service in one person.
