🍺☕ Same word as English bar: both come from the counter drinks are served over

Spanish borrowed bar straight from English, where it first meant the wooden barrier or counter in a tavern. In Spain a bar is broader than an English one: it serves coffee and breakfast as well as beer, so it also covers café.
