Goth pubs can be so called for 2reasons-either they were built in the gothic era, ie. the medieval/middle ages-or more likely these days,because they are supported and frequented by fans of goth (gothic) ie. people usually dressed in all black,who like the 'depressive' style of heavy metal-no offence to all you goths out there,it was the only way i could describe it.

Who are the visigoth?

The Visigoths were the western branch of the Goths. The Goths were original from Sweden and migrated through eastern Europe all the way to Ukraine. When the Huns invaded their land, some of the Goths asked the Roman emperor to allow them to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the Huns. This was granted. The rest of the Goths were conquered by the Huns and became their vassals. The Goths in the Roman Empire then came to be called Visigoths (Goths of the west) because at that point they lived further west than the other Goths. The other Goths came to be called Ostrogoths (Goths of the east).
