Etymology
Romanian borrowed "bar" from French "bar", which itself came from English "bar", the counter where drinks are served. The English word traces back to Old French "barre", a rod or barrier, referring originally to a rail that separated the serving counter from customers. The term spread across Europe with the rise of Western-style cafés and drinking establishments in the 19th and 20th centuries.
