What is a "bar"?

A bar is a lively social place where people gather to unwind, socialize, and enjoy a wide range of alcoholic beverages. These establishments often feature a relaxed atmosphere with dim lighting, cozy seating, and perhaps some entertainment like live music or sports screenings. Unlike traditional restaurants, bars typically focus more on beverages, with a wide variety of cocktails, craft beers, and fine wines. Bars may also feature a menu of appetizers or small plates designed to complement the drinks.
