Bar
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Bar is originally a long unbent (usually rouded) piece made of some material. It was originally made to spilt a room into two different parts (the one before, and the one behind the bar).
Very often, such handrails run through courtrooms. From there, there is the work barrister (who is a specialised lawyer).
Later, the meaning got extended, and also meant a long table where drinks can be served. Those drinks usually contain alcohol. It also came to mean the place where such drinks are served. Very often, such places also serve small snacks.
