drinking
An establishment primarily serving prepared drinks, with snacks optional and packaged take-home beverage stores excluded.
A drinking establishment is a bar or service counter whose primary offering is any kind of prepared drink. The products may be alcoholic, sweet, nutritive, or any other kind of liquid substance. Snacks may also be served as long as the main attraction is drinkable. This does not refer to beverage stores, which sell packaged or bottled drinks for customers to take home.
The principal drinks can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The definition includes sweet or nutritive beverages as well as ordinary bar drinks.
Food can be offered while drinks remain the main attraction. Selling packaged or bottled drinks for customers to take home instead belongs to beverage retail.
