Yes, it's normal, and it's absolutely wicked of the people in the pub a) to have an in-season bitch out in public, and b) allowing a pup to get so worked up. You may have great difficulty with him in future if temptation is put in his way like this - he could become aggressive and a wanderer. Besides, he's not very far off fertile age. Why on earth didn't you take him away? You have to be responsible for your dog - if you don't like what he's doing, stop him.
