bar food

Drinks venue eats

Bar food is the category of dishes typically served at drinking establishments—items meant to accompany alcohol and encourage continued drinking.

The style favors salty, greasy, shareable fare: wings, nachos, sliders, fried pickles, loaded fries.

The bar food here is surprisingly good.

The term can carry a dismissive edge, implying something unpretentious or lowbrow.
