economy / pub
'die Wirtschaft' and 'das Restaurant' can both be places where you eat or drink something. 'Restaurant' is the normal general word for an establishment serving food and drinks. In this meaning, 'Wirtschaft' refers more to a simple inn, tavern, or pub and sounds regional or somewhat traditional. The words can be confused because both refer to food-service places. If you want to speak neutrally and be understood everywhere, 'Restaurant' is usually more natural. 'Wirtschaft' fits better for a simple, often cozy pub or tavern.
