physical location

Real world position

A physical location is a place that exists in the material world, as opposed to a virtual or digital one.

The phrase emphasizes tangibility—a store's physical location versus its website, a company's physical location versus its mailing address.

We met at a physical location rather than online.

The term became common as digital spaces proliferated.
