Types of Bars
A bar's owners and managers choose the bar's name, décor, drink menu, lighting, and other elements which they think will attract a certain kind of patron. However, they have only limited influence over who patronizes their establishment. Thus, a bar originally intended for one demographic profile can become popular with another. For example, a gay bar with a dance floor might, over time, attract an increasingly straight clientele. Or a blues bar may become a biker bar if most its patrons are bikers.
A cocktail lounge is an upscale bar that is typically located within a hotel, restaurant, or airport.
A wine bar is an elegant bar that serves only wine (no beer or liquor). Patrons of these bars may taste wines before deciding to buy them. Some wine bars also serve small plates of food or other snacks.
A brew pub has an on-site brewing capacity and serves craft beers as well as the usual range of alcoholic beverages.
A dive bar is a very informal bar, sometimes referred to simply as a dive.
A music bar is an establishment specializing in live music.

the pain that begins in the crib
with its bars or perhaps
with your first breath
when the planets drill
your future into you....”
