    Bars are establishments that serve alcoholic beverages over a long, raised counter. Originally, bars had chest-high counters with brass rails for customers to rest their feet, which gave the establishments their name. Over time, bar heights lowered and stools were added. Bars serve drinks, snacks, and in some cases food, and provide seating for patrons. They range from inexpensive dive bars to more elegant entertainment venues that may include live music.

    A bar is a long raised narrow table or bench designed for

    dispensing beer or other alcoholic drinks. They were originally chest


    high, and a bar, often brass, ran the length of the table, just above
    floor height, for customers to rest a foot on, which gave the table its
    name. Over many years, heights of bars were lowered, and high
    stools added, and the brass bar remains today. The
    name bar became identified with the business, (also known as
    a saloon or a tavern or sometimes as 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 such
    as mineral water and soft drinks. Bars often also sell snack
    foods such as crisps(also referred to as potato chips) or peanuts, for
    consumption on their premises.[1] Some types of bars, such as pubs,
    may also serve food from a restaurant menu. The term "bar" also
    refers to the countertop and area where drinks are served. The term
    "bar" derives from the metal or wooden bar (barrier) that is often
    located along the length of the "bar".[2]
    Bars provide stools or chairs that are placed at tables or counters
    for their patrons. 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[3] to elegant places
    of entertainment, often accompanying restaurants for dining.
    Many bars operate a discount period, designated a "happy hour" or
    discount of the day 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 that patrons are of legal age, to eject
    drunk or belligerent 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.
    Patrons may sit or stand at the counter 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 the counter. In some
    establishments, the back bar is elaborately decorated with
    woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights.
