A bar (also called a pub, tavern, beer garden, or saloon) is an establishment that serves alcoholic drinks — beer, wine, liquor, and cocktails — for consumption on the premises.

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, a floor show or strippers (see strip club). Bars that are part of hotels are sometimes called long bars or hotel lounges.

The term "bar" (a synecdoche) is derived from the specialized counter on which drinks are served. 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.

Can you call the police for a noise violation from a bar?
Q. I live in an apartment in Charleston, SC. My window faces the back of a bar and every night I am awoken by loud music, bottles clinking and breaking, and people screaming. I'm actually up at 2:16 am right now because of it. I didn't know if I could contact authorities because its an establishment and it's not private. Would it be extreme of me to do so? Its been like this every night since I've moved in (2 weeks), and I can't get enough sleep. I have classes, work to do, etc. and it's very distracting. Would I call the police (911), or does anyone know a way of reporting it? I just think it's very rude and disrespectful that people are up past 2 am when it is a residential area. What should I do? I forgot to mention this, but after so many… [cont.]

A. Gotta agree with the others on this one... it's kinda dumb to move next to a bar and then expect them to be quiet. That's like moving next to a RR track and expecting them to stop running the trains. The smart move is to start hunting for another apartment. In the meantime, buy some earplugs at the drugstore. They may save your sanity (use your cell phone alarm on vibrate & clip it to your shorts to wake up in the morning.)
