      Probably meant a dive bar, or generally just a spot where most people are drinking beer, as opposed to a liquor bar where most people are drinking mixed drinks. They have distinct atmospheres.

        Or you’re just inferring a lot from what is clearly not very much. And for real, are you trying to educate people on what a dive bar is? You do know that dive bars serve liquor too, right?

          You asked, why are you getting aggressive? You’re the one who’s never heard someone say “beer bar”.

            Nobody says beer bar. I’m not aggressive, I’m just amazed that someone thinks a. A dive bar is something that isn’t common and b. Doesn’t serve liquor.

          A dive bar is an American thing. Over here we have pubs and wine bars. Beer bar is actually quite a reasonable name for the middle ground things that now exist in office based towns and cities.

          Yes, a beer bar is a bar, that’s how subcategories work. Feel free to check the wikipedia article on bars for more infos on different bar types! Believe it or not, they’re not all the same and most bars serve alcoholic beverages that aren’t beer!

      Only reading this did I realize it didn’t say “bear bar”. I just assumed it was a gay bar, it made more sense than “beer bar”.
