A dead pub is a pub which is no longer open. It may be set to re-open after a period of closure for refurbishment.
This tag was invented in the early days as stop-gap while some endless debates were happening about the best way to map these and other closed/disused things. This tag seemed easily memorable and aligned with another wiki project called "dead pubs society" ...which no longer exists.
Use disused:amenity=pub instead
There's still a few different ideas for how to map this. See Comparison of life cycle concepts. However it does feel like many people have settled towards disused:amenity=pub
