Types of Bar

A bar (also known as a saloon or a tavern or sometimes a pub or club, referring to the

actual establishment, as in pub bar or club bar etc.) is a retail business establishment that

serves alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, liquor, cocktails, and other beverages like

mineral water and soft drinks and often sell snack foods, like crisps or peanuts, for

consumption on premises. Some types of bars, such as pubs, may also have serve food from

a restaurant menu.

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 that offer entertainment or live music are often referred to as music bars,

live venues, or nightclubs. Types of bars range from inexpensive dive bars to elegant places

of entertainment for the elite, often accompanying restaurants for dining.

Many bars have a discount period, designated a "happy hour" to encourage off-peak-time

patronage. Bars that fill to capacity sometimes implement a cover charge or a minimum

drink purchase requirement during their peak hours. Bars may have bouncers to ensure

patrons are of legal age, to eject drunk or fighting patrons, and to collect cover charges.

Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be a live band, vocalist, comedian, or disc

jockey playing recorded music.

The term "bar" is derived from the specialized counter on which drinks are mixed and

served. Patrons may sit or stand at the bar and be served by the bartender. Depending on

the size of a bar and its approach, alcohol may be served at the bar by bartenders, at tables

by servers, or by a combination of the two. The "back bar" is a set of shelves of glasses and

bottles behind that counter. In some establishments, the back bar is elaborately decorated

with woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights.

Bars categorized by the kind of entertainment they offer:

Blues bars, specializing in the live blues style of music.

Comedy bars, specializing in stand-up comedy entertainment.

Dance bars, which have a dance floor where patrons dance to recorded music. But if a

dance bar has a large dance floor and hires well-known professional DJs, it is considered

to be a nightclub or discothèque.

Karaoke bars, with nightly karaoke as entertainment.

Music bars, specializing in live music (i.e. concerts).

Drag bars, which have live shows, where men dress as women and generally lip-sync to

recordings of female vocal artists; often with hilarious results.

Salsa bars, where patrons dance to Latin salsa music.

served. Patrons may sit or stand at the bar and be served by the bartender. Depending on

the size of a bar and its approach, alcohol may be served at the bar by bartenders, at tables

by servers, or by a combination of the two. The "back bar" is a set of shelves of glasses and

bottles behind that counter. In some establishments, the back bar is elaborately decorated

with woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights.

Bars categorized by the kind of entertainment they offer:

Blues bars, specializing in the live blues style of music.

Comedy bars, specializing in stand-up comedy entertainment.

Dance bars, which have a dance floor where patrons dance to recorded music. But if a

to be a nightclub or discothèque.

Karaoke bars, with nightly karaoke as entertainment.

Music bars, specializing in live music (i.e. concerts).

Drag bars, which have live shows, where men dress as women and generally lip-sync to

recordings of female vocal artists; often with hilarious results.

A bar (also known as a saloon or a tavern or sometimes a pub or club, referring to the

actual establishment, as in pub bar or club bar etc.) is a retail business establishment that

serves alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, liquor, cocktails, and other beverages like

mineral water and soft drinks and often sell snack foods, like crisps or peanuts, for

consumption on premises. Some types of bars, such as pubs, may also have serve food from

a restaurant menu.

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 that offer entertainment or live music are often referred to as music bars,

live venues, or nightclubs. Types of bars range from inexpensive dive bars to elegant places

of entertainment for the elite, often accompanying restaurants for dining.

Many bars have a discount period, designated a "happy hour" to encourage off-peak-time

patronage. Bars that fill to capacity sometimes implement a cover charge or a minimum

drink purchase requirement during their peak hours. Bars may have bouncers to ensure

patrons are of legal age, to eject drunk or fighting patrons, and to collect cover charges.

Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be a live band, vocalist, comedian, or disc

jockey playing recorded music.
