A Bar is a place where alcoholic beverages are served in the premises like beer, whisky, vodka, rum, cocktails, mock tails etc. A bar is also called as a pub. A pub is a short form for public house. In olden days a pub which offered lodging was called as inn. The seating arrangements in bars are generally in the form of raised stools and raised counters or tables. Bars are sometimes attached to restaurants and hotels. Sometimes bars may function just by themselves.
Bar is a term used for the special counter on which drinks are served. The entire concept of serving drinks and the ambience everything put together is termed a Bar. The place where the bottles and glasses are stored is known as a gantry or back bar. In some bars the gantry is done up very beautifully with wooden finish or stained glass finish or lights. In some places it is very simply done up.
A bar is a retail business establishment that serves alcoholic drinks — beer, wine, liquor, and cocktails — for consumption on the premises.[1]
Bars provide stools or chairs that are placed at tables or counters for their patrons. Some bars have entertainment on a stage, such as a live band, comedians, go-go dancers, or strippers. Bars which offer entertainment or live music are often referred to as music bars or nightclubs.
Types of bars range from dive bars[2] to elegant places of entertainment for the elite.
Many bars have a happy hour to encourage off-peak patronage. Bars that fill to capacity sometimes implement a cover charge or a minimum purchase requirement during their peak hours. Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be a live band or a disc jockey playing recorded music.
The term "bar" is derived from the specialized counter on which drinks are served. Patrons may sit or stand
