Anybody have any favorite sites for free wp themes? In particular, I'd like to find a 3 column format.

I think the best one is the wordpress directory

WordPress › WordPress Themes (http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/)

there are almost 600 there

This is a good one too

Top Wordpress Themes - Best Free Themes for Wordpress (http://topwpthemes.com/)

Zinmag and Revolution both have great free 3 column themes

You can try this post from Smashing Magazine (http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/01/08/100-excellent-free-high-quality-wordpress-themes/). The post also links to several other similar ones and if you search the site you can probably find more.

These aren't necessarily 3 column themes, but many of the themes will be from developers who offer more.

You can check this one out too, Web2Feel (http://web2feel.com/), it has the Zinmag themes in it. Careful with Redux 2 it has some issues on 2.7 and IE.

Here's another I found in my bookmarks: Wordpress Themes - Download free wordpress themes for your Wordpress blog or upload your own wpthemes,wordpress theme,wp theme. (http://themespack.com/)

Zinmag's best theme by far is remedy, it has it's own control panel in the wp dashboard for customizing, there is much less code changing than in their previous themes.

I have found the Wordpress site itself good which is linked in the first reponse. the only problem is that i dislike their search, some people must add incorrect keywords or the search does not work very well, as i have search for a few different things and either get minimal results or just get a whole lot of extra's in the results.

Yeah, It sucks, no doubt about it. It used to be much better, you could spend hours looking at themes.

Here is another good link of both Premium and Free themes:

Does anyone happen to know of a theme that works well for a pub/restaurant?

Sports Pub?
There are a couple that I like, and always thought they would be good for a sports type bar that had stuff going on like Monday Night football Specials, Pool leagues, Ladies Nights, Drink Specials and such:
Wordpress Sports Network|Demonstration Site (http://stylewp.com/demo-wpsn/)

Theme Spinner Demo Area (http://www.themespinner.com/demo/?wptheme=Chimera)

Every time I search for theme based on the "Theme" I am always highly disappointed in what returns because it is mostly just themed headers and not actual functions that make them so.

That is very true, most "themes" are just some stock photography of a restaurant that I would replace anyway.
