A well-designed bar can help control beverage consumption and increase beverage sales.

A bar is a commercial establishment where beverages, primarily alcoholic drinks like cocktails, beer, and wine, are served to customers, often accompanied by snacks or small meals. Bars are designed to foster social interaction and relaxation, with an ambiance tailored to their target clientele.
