The historical origin of bars

At first, in the western United States, cowboys and robbers liked to gather in bars to drink. As they were all riding horses, the pub owner set up a crossbar in front of the restaurant to tie the horses.

Later, cars replaced carriages, and the number of people riding horses gradually decreased, and most of these crossbars were removed. A pub owner didn't want to throw away the crossbar that had become a pub symbol, so he took it down and put it under the counter. Unexpectedly, it has become a good place for customers to step on and is loved by customers.

. Because Yoko is pronounced as "bar" in English, people simply translate pub into "bar", just like translating pie into pie. The word "bar" comes from English homonym, which originally meant a long bar for selling wine. This is a place for sailors, cowboys, businessmen and vagrants to kill time or vent their feelings. After hundreds of years of development and evolution, all kinds of healthy and elegant "bars" advocating modern civilization and pursuing high-quality life are quietly entering people's leisure life, and at the same time, they have formed a beautiful and unique cultural landscape of modern cities. Bars are usually considered as the main places for supplying and consuming all kinds of alcohol. It is one of the catering departments of the hotel, specially set up for serving and relaxing guests. Bars are often accompanied by a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, usually serving alcoholic drinks, soda water and fruit juice ready to serve guests who are not good at drinking.

Bars originally originated in continental Europe, but it was not until the 6th century A.D./KLOC that the word "bar selling drinks" was introduced into China. After further variation and expansion in the United States, it entered China in about 2003, and the word "ba" is still a new word. After entering China, bars have developed rapidly, especially in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou: bars in Beijing are rough and open, bars in Shanghai are delicate and sad, bars in Guangzhou are lively and complicated, and bars in Dazhou are the most passionate. Generally speaking, the night sky in a city can't be separated from bars, and urbanites can't be separated from bars. People need to forget and indulge in busyness. Beijing has the largest number of bars in cities in China, with a total of about 400 bars. Bars operate in a variety of ways, with business ups and downs. A basically stable three-point bar pattern has emerged in Shanghai. All three types of bars have their own distinctive features and special mood, and also have their own basic laws. The first kind of bars are campus bars, the second kind is music bars, and the third kind is commercial bars.

At that time, bars really appeared in a very "cultural" and rebellious manner, which was a tacit approval of our city to stay up late. However, it has quietly appeared in every corner of China metropolis, becoming the world of young people and the place where subculture takes place. With the rapid development of urban culture, cinemas that once occupied all the scenery seem to be left out in the rise of bars, discos and video game rooms. Cool guys and spice girls who dress up as new people have a special liking for "bars", because singing and dancing, listening to music, chatting together, drinking tea and even disco dancing in bars are all-inclusive, showing their fashion style and naturally becoming a popular way of leisure and entertainment. Bar culture has only a history of more than ten years in China, but it has developed rapidly, which can be called the right time. Listening to traditional operas in teahouses and restaurants many years ago was the most important cultural life of the masses at that time. With the changes of the times, it is inevitable for the public to change and choose the orientation of music. Due to the large-scale development of foreign-funded and joint-venture hotels in Chinese mainland in 1980s, a considerable number of pioneers became interested in the bars in hotels. The mentality of pursuing development and change has prompted some people who originally opened restaurants and pubs to start bar business, copying this form of bar from hotels to the bustling blocks of the city and embassies and cultural and commercial districts where foreigners gather.

With the further deepening of China's reform and opening up, the coffee bar industry has developed rapidly in China. Almost all star-rated hotels and designated foreign-related tourist hotels in China have coffee franchise places, and many large and medium-sized cities have also opened coffee bars one after another. Most high-end office buildings and large shopping malls have specially opened up places to drink coffee, and many large and medium-sized cities in China have coffee bars and leisure service places. According to national statistics, the number of cafes and bars in China is increasing by about 20% every year.

The annual consumption of coffee bar industry is 2.3/kloc-0.50 billion yuan, accounting for 4.63% of the national catering service consumption of 500 billion yuan, and the development speed is 3.63 percentage points higher than that of the same industry. At this rate, the market share of China's coffee bar service industry will reach 50 billion yuan in the next five years. The coffee bar industry market will show great development potential.

People of insight from all walks of life around the world have seen the great potential of China's coffee bar industry market, and some internationally renowned coffee chain stores have settled in China. Starbucks chain stores in the United States have opened all over large and medium-sized cities in China, and the scale is still expanding. Beanery, another exclusive coffee chain in the United States, is also optimistic about the fast-growing market in China, and plans to open 800 branches in China in the next five years. Multinational companies such as Starbucks international chain and French Jazz Island chain have played a decisive role in China's coffee industry. With the entry of foreign coffee and liquor enterprises, they will seize the market in China, and at the same time, they will introduce the advanced scientific and technological equipment and modern management concepts of coffee bars into China. I hope that the coffee and bar industries in China will seize the opportunity, meet the challenge and usher in a brilliant future for the development of coffee bars in China!
