barroom
Tavern's main hall
A barroom is a room with a bar where alcoholic drinks are served—essentially a tavern or the drinking area of one.
The word has an old-fashioned, American flavor: a dusty Old West barroom, barroom brawl.
It appears most often in compounds and set phrases rather than standing alone.
