bars
Where drinks flow
Bars are long, rigid pieces of material—metal, wood, or other solids: a steel bar, a bar of soap, a chocolate bar.
A bar is a counter where drinks are served, and by extension the establishment itself: Let's grab a drink at that bar.
To bar is to obstruct or prohibit: barred from entry.
Behind bars means imprisoned.
In music, a bar is a measure—a segment of time containing a set number of beats.
In hip-hop and rap, bars are lyrics, especially clever or impressive ones: That rapper spits fire bars.
