The bar (also known as saloon or store or sometimes pub or club at a real standpoint, such as in the pub bar or savage club , etc.) is a retail company that serves alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, liquor, cocktails and beverages others like mineral water and soft drinks and often sell snacks such as chips (potato chips) or peanuts, for on-site consumption. Several types of bars, such as pubs, can also serve food from the restaurant menu. The term "bar" also refers to the table and the area where drinks are served. The term "bar" also comes from metal or wooden sticks that are often located on the foot along the "bar".
The bar provides a bench or chair placed on the counter or counter for their customers. Bars that offer entertainment or live music are often referred to as music bars, residences, or nightclubs. The bar types range from cheap diving bars to elegant entertainment spots that often accompany restaurants to dine.
Many bars have discount periods, called "happy hour" to encourage patronage outside peak hours. Bars that fill the capacity sometimes apply an additional fee or minimum purchase requirement of drinks during their peak hours. The bar may have a guard to ensure customers of legal age, to issue drunk or belligerent customers, and to collect additional fees. Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be live bands, vocalists, comedians, or disc jockeys playing recorded music.
The term "bar" comes from a metal bar usually under a table where drinks are served. The coach can sit or stand at the counter and be served by the bartender. Depending on the size of the bar and its approach, alcohol can be served in the bar by the bartender, in tables by the server, or by a combination of both. The "back bar" is a set of glass and bottle racks behind the desk. In some places, the rear bar is elaborately decorated with wood, glass, mirrors, and lights.

Histori
There are many different names for common drinking spaces throughout history. In the days of the United States colonialism drinkinghouse was an important meeting place, because most other institutions were weak. During the 19th century saloons are very important for the working class spare time. Today, even when an establishment uses a different name, like a "tavern" or "saloon", the area where bartenders are pouring or mixing drinks is usually called a "bar".
The sale and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages was banned in the first half of the 20th century in several countries, including Finland, Iceland, Norway and the United States. In the United States, illegal bars during Prohibition are called speakeasies, blind pigs, and blind tigers.

Legal restrictions
Laws in many jurisdictions prohibit minors from entering the bar. If those under the legal drinking age are allowed entry, as is the case with pubs serving food, they are not allowed to drink. In some jurisdictions, the bar can not serve a drunk protector. Cities and towns usually have legal restrictions on where bars can be found and on the types of alcohol they can serve to their customers. Some bars may have licenses to serve beer and wine, but not liquor. In some jurisdictions, customers who buy alcohol must also order food. In some jurisdictions, bar owners have legal liability for the behavior of the patrons they serve (this responsibility may arise in cases of driving under the influence causing injury or death).
Many Islamic countries ban bars and the possession or sale of alcohol for religious reasons, while others, including Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, allow bars in certain areas, but only allow non-Muslims to drink in them.
Type
A bar owner and manager choose bar names, dÃÆ' Â © cast, drink menus, lighting, and other elements they think will attract some sort of patron. However, they have only limited influence over who degrades their position. Thus, a bar originally intended for a demographic profile can become popular with other demographic profiles. For example, a gay or lesbian bar with a dance floor or disco may, over time, attract more heterosexual customers. Or the blues bar can be a biker bar if most of its customers are motorcyclists.
The cocktail lounge is an upscale bar typically located within a hotel, restaurant or airport.
The full bar serves hard liquors, cocktails, wines and beers.
The wine bar is an elegant bar that focuses on wine instead of beer or liquor. The bar builder might taste wine before deciding to buy it. Some wine bars also serve small plates of food or other snacks.
The beer bar focuses on beers, especially beer craft, not on wine or liquor. An artificial pub has an on-site brewery and serves a craft beer.
"Fern bar" is an American slang term for an upscale or preppy (or yuppie) bar.
The music bar is a bar that presents live music as an attraction.
A diving bar, often referred to simply as a "dive", is a very informal bar that some may consider as bad.
The non-alcoholic bar is a bar that does not serve alcoholic beverages.
A bar and grill are also a restaurant.
Some people can choose a room or a room area as a home bar. Furnishings and settings vary from efficient to full bar that can be customized as a business.
Entertainment
Bars are grouped by the type of entertainment they offer:
- Blues bar, specializing in live blues music style
- A comedy bar, specializing in stand-up comedy entertainment
- The dance bar, which has a dance floor where visitors dance to record music. Usually, if a place has a large dance floor, focusing mainly on dancing rather than sitting drinking, and hiring a professional DJ, it is considered a nightclub or discotheque rather than a bar.
- Karaoke bar, with night karaoke as entertainment
- Music bar, specializing in live music (ie concerts)
- The drag bar, specializing in dragging shows as entertainment
- Salsa bars, where visitors dance with Latin salsa music
- The sports bar, which features sports-related memorabilia and themes, and usually contains a large number of televisions used to broadcast major sporting events for its customers.
- A bar without a roof, where naked female employees dance or serve drinks. In India, these blades are called dance bars, which are different from the "dance bar" types discussed above.
Customer
Bars can be categorized by their frequent customer types:
- Bicycle messenger bars, where bike couriers gather; this is only found in cities with the big biker messenger community
- Biker bar, a bar frequented by motorcycle enthusiasts and (in some areas) motorcycle club members
- Bar Cop, where non-assigning law enforcement agencies collect
- The college bar, usually located at or near the university, where most of its customers are students
- Gay bars, where gay men or women dance and socialize
- Lesbian trunks
- Blend of gay/straight rod, especially targeting bisexual
- Environment bar, bar that most customers know each other; usually close to home and frequented regularly
- The "parents" bar, whose customers are old male customers who know each other well; because most customers are retired, they often start drinking early in the day, eating cheap beer/whiskey and spend a lot of time chatting, reading newspapers, and watching TV
- Sailor bar, usually located on the seaside area near commercial wharf or naval base
- Single bar where (mostly) unmarried people of both genders can meet and socialize
- The sports bar, where sports fans gather to entertain their favorite teams with other like-minded fans
- Women's bar
Bar (counter)
Counters where drinks are served by a bartender are called "bars". The term is applied, as a synecdoche, to a beverage company called "bar". These counters typically store a variety of beer, wine, liquor, and non-alcoholic ingredients, and are organized to facilitate the work of the bartender.
The word "bar" in this context was used in 1591 when Robert Greene, a playwright, refers to one in his book A Notable Discovery of Coosnage .
Counters for serving other types of food and drinks can also be called bars. Examples of use of this word include snack bar, sushi bar, juice bar, salad bar, milk bar, and sundae bar.
Location
Australia
In Australia, the main form of commercial alcohol outlets licensed from the colonial period to the present day is the pub, a local variant of native English. Until the 1970s, Australian pubs have traditionally been organized into separate areas of drinking according to gender - "public bar" is open only to men, whereas "bar lounge" or "bar saloon" serves both men and women (ie drinking mixture). This distinction is gradually abolished because the anti-discrimination laws and women's rights activism undermine the concept of public drinking areas that are only accessible to men. Where two bars still exist in one company, one (coming from "public bar") will be more downmarket while others (coming from "lounge bar") will be more upscale. Over time, with the introduction of gaming machines to hotels, many "lounge bars" have or are being converted into a game room.
Beginning in the mid-1950s, the previously tougher state liquor licensing laws were increasingly relaxed and reformed, with the result that public trading hours were extended. This is partly to eliminate the social problems associated with early closing time - notably the infamous "six o'clock" and the growing trade in "sly grog." A growing number of licensed alcoholic beverages are starting to emerge, including "retail bottle" (the sale of previously sold bottles is available only in pubs and tightly controlled), especially in Sydney, a new class of licensed, wine bars, there is alcohol available on the condition that it is provided with meals. -this place became very popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s and offered a lot of free entertainment, becoming an important part of the Sydney music scene in that period.
In Australia's big cities these days there is a large and diverse scene bar with a variety of ambience, fashions and styles catering to every cosmopolitan community echelon.
Canada
Public drinking begins with the establishment of a colonial store in the US and Canada. While the term is converted into a public House especially in the UK, the term Kedai continues to be used instead of Pubs in the US and Canada. Public beverage companies are prohibited by alcohol bans, which constitute (and constitute) provincial jurisdiction. The ban was lifted, province by province in the 1920s. There is no universal right to consume alcohol, and only legal age men are allowed to do so. "Beer parlors" are a common practice behind the ban, with local laws often not allowing entertainment (such as games or music) in these companies, set aside for the sole purpose of consuming alcohol.
Since the end of the Second World War, and the exposure by about a million Canadians to the tradition of public public homes in England by soldiers and women serving there, traditions have become more common in Canada. These traditions include drinking black beer and stout, "pub" as a social gathering place for both sexes, and game games (such as arrows, snookers or swimming pools). The tavern became very popular during the 1960s and 1970s, especially for the working class people. Canadian shops, still to be found in remote areas of Northern Canada, have long tables with benches lining the sides. The builder at this store often orders beer in large bottles and drinks "cheap Canadian whiskey" brand bar. In some provinces, pubs usually have separate entrances for men and women. Even in big cities like Toronto separate entrances existed in the early 1970s.
Canada has adopted some of the newer US bar traditions (such as "sports bar") of the last decade. As a result, the term "bar" becomes distinguished from the term "pub", in which the bar is usually 'themed' and sometimes has a dance floor. The bar with the dance floor is usually downgraded to a small community or Suburban. In big cities bars with large dance floors are usually referred to as clubs and just for dancing, Companies that call themselves pubs are often much more similar to English pubs in style. Before the 1980s, most "bars" were referred to as "taverns".
Often, bars and pubs in Canada will serve supporters of local sports teams, usually hockey teams. There is a difference between a sports bar and a pub; sports bar focus on TV screens showing games and displaying uniforms, tools, etc. Pubs will generally also show the game but not exclusively focus on them. The Tavern was popular until the early 1980s, when the American-style bar, as we know it today became popular. In the 1990s, the impersonation of British and Irish pubs into popular and adopted names such as "The Fox and Fiddle" and "The Queen and Beaver" reflects the naming trend in Britain. Taverns or mixed food and beverage outlets are generally more common than Canadian bars, although both can be found.
Legal restrictions on bars are set by the provinces and territories of Canada, which has led to many variations. While some provinces severely limit their bar rules, establish tight closing times and prohibit the elimination of alcohol from places, other provinces have been more liberal. Closing time generally runs from 2:00 to 4:00 in the morning.
In Nova Scotia, particularly in Halifax, there was, until the 1980s, a very different system of gender-based law applicable for decades. Taverns, bars, spaces, and other classifications are distinguished whether they are specific to men or women, men with invited, otherwise, or mixed women. Once this falls on the curb, there is the problem of a water closet. This causes many bars to add in the "powder room"; sometimes they are built later, or used part of the kitchen or upstairs room, if the pipe is allowed. This also applies to repentance in the former "living room", to male facilities.
Italy
In Italy, the "bar" is a place more like a cafà © ©, where people go during the morning or evening, usually for coffee, cappuccino or hot chocolate and eat some snacks like sandwiches ( panini or tramezzini ) or pastries. However, all kinds of alcoholic beverages are served. Opening hours vary: some companies open very early and close relatively early in the evening; others, especially if next to the cinema or cinema, may be open late into the night. Larger bars also restaurants and disco clubs. Many Italian bars have introduced so-called "aperitivo" time in the evening, where everyone who buys alcoholic beverages then has free access to the usually abundant cold food delicacies such as salad pastas, vegetables and appetizers.
Polish
In modern Polish, in many cases a bar will be referred to as publish (plural puby ), borrowing from English. Polish puby serves various types of alcoholic beverages as well as other beverages and simple snacks such as chips, nuts or pretzels. Most places have loud music and some have frequent live performances. Although the Polish word bar is also applicable to this type of establishment, it is often used to describe any type of cheap restaurant, and therefore can be translated as a restaurant or cafeteria. Both in bary and in puby , the counters where one order is called the bar , in itself becomes a clear loan word from the English language.
The bar mleczny (literally 'milk bar') is a kind of cheap self-service restaurant serving a wide variety of dishes, with simple interior design, usually open at breakfast and lunch. This is very similar to Russia ???????? in both menus and decorations. It can also be compared to so-called greasy spoons in English-speaking countries. Bary mleczne rarely serves alcoholic beverages.
The term bar szybkiej obs? Ugi (lit. 'fast food') also refers to eating - not drinking - places. This is gradually replaced by the term fast food of English. Another name, samoobs bar? Ugowy can be applied to any type of self-service restaurant. Some types of Polish bars serve only one type of food. An example is a restaurant that serves pasztecik szczeci? Ski , a traditional specialty of the city of Szczecin. Can be consumed on the table or taken home.
Spanish
The bar is common in Spain and is an important part of Spanish culture. In Spain it is common for a city to have many bars and even have a few rows on the same street. Most of the bars have sections of the street or the square outside with tables and chairs with umbrellas if weather permits. The Spanish bar is also known for serving a variety of sandwiches (bocadillos), as well as snacks called tapas or pinchos.
Tapas and pinchos can be offered to customers in two ways, either as a complement to ordering a drink or in some cases it is charged independently, both cases are usually clearly shown to deter customers by displaying wall information, on menus and price lists. The anti-smoking law has been in effect since January 1, 2011 and since then it is prohibited to smoke in bars and restaurants and all other indoor areas, closed commercial and state-owned facilities are now non-smoking areas.
Spain is the country with the highest bar/population ratio with almost 6 bar per thousand population, it's ratio 3 times UK and 4 times Germany, and itself has double the number of bars than the oldest of the 15-member European Unity. The meaning of the word 'bar' in Spanish, however, has no negative connotations attached to the same word in many other languages. For the Spaniards, a bar is basically a meeting place, and not a place to engage in the consumption of alcoholic beverages. As a result, children are usually allowed into bars, and it's common to see families in the bar during weekends from the end of the day. In small towns, 'bars' may be the center of social life, and it is customary that, after social events, people go to bars, including seniors and children.
United Kingdom
In the UK, the bar is an area that serves alcoholic beverages in companies such as hotels, restaurants, universities, or special types of establishments that serve alcoholic beverages such as wine bars, "style bars", only personalized membership bars. However, the main type of establishment of selling alcohol for on-site consumption is public houses or pubs . Some bars are similar to nightclubs where they feature loud music, quiet lighting, or operate dress code and acceptance policy, with inner city bars generally having door staff at the entrance.
The 'bar' also shows a separate drinking area inside the pub. Until recent years, most pubs have two or more bars - very often a Public bar or Tap room, and a Saloon Bar or Lounge, where the decor is better and the prices are sometimes higher. Bar appointments vary regionally. In the last two decades, much of the interior of the pub has been opened into a single room, which some people regret for losing the flexibility, intimacy, and traditional feel of a public house with plenty of space.
One of London's last diving bars is under the Kings Head Pub on Gerrard Street, Soho.
United States
In the United States, legal differences often exist between restaurants and bars, and even among bar types. These differences vary from one state to another, and even between cities. The beer bar (sometimes called a pub or pub) is legally restricted to selling only beer, and perhaps wine or cider. The
The bar is sometimes excluded from smoking bans that the restaurant is subject to, even if the restaurant has a liquor license. The difference between a restaurant that serves liquor and bar is usually made by the percentage of income earned from the sale of liquor, although more and more, the smoking ban includes bars as well.
In many places bars are barred from selling alcoholic beverages to go, and this makes them distinctly different from liquor stores. Some brewpubs and wineries can serve alcohol to go, but under the rules that apply to liquor stores. In some areas, such as New Orleans and parts of Las Vegas and Savannah, Georgia, an open container of alcohol can be prepared to go. Such restrictions usually depend on open container law. In Pennsylvania and Ohio, the bar can sell six packs of "to-go" beer in original containers (sealed) by obtaining a take-out license. New Jersey allows all forms of packaged goods to be sold in bars, and allows beer and wine packaged for sale whenever the onsite alcoholic beverage sale is allowed.
During the 19th century, the beverage company was called saloons . In Old Western America, the most popular place in town is usually the Western saloon. Many of these Western saloons survive, although their services and features have changed over time. New establishments are sometimes built in Western-style saloon for nostalgic effects. In American cities there are also many salons, which allow only male customers and are usually owned by one of the big factories. Drunkenness, fights, and alcoholism make the saloon a powerful symbol of all that goes wrong with alcohol. Saloons were the main target of the Temperance movement, and the Anti-Saloon League, founded in 1892, was the most powerful lobby in favor of the Prohibition. When the ban was lifted, President Franklin D. Roosevelt called on states to not allow the return of saloons.
Many Irish or British "pubs" exist throughout the United States and Canada and in some continental European countries.
In May, 2014, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has the most per capita bar in the United States.
The Former Yugoslavia
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia, modern bars overlap with coffee shops and larger ones are also sometimes night clubs. Since the 1980s, they have become similar in social functions to Italian, Spanish and Greek bars, as a meeting place for people in the city.
