"A bar can be the perfect spot to wind down with some drinks after work or meet up with friends on the weekend. When bars are great, they can make for the perfect third space to congregate or to simply be out on your own, safely. Unfortunately, when alcohol is in the mix, there have to be certain safety measures in place to keep everyone secure. You don't want people losing complete control over their actions and potentially harming others,"
"Not only does it help you choose a drink based on what you like, but you can know exactly what you're ordering so that you can keep track of your consumption and verify that your bartender is making it with the right ingredients. A list of ingredients can also help you see if the bar is using syrups instead of fresh fruit, or simply if the martini is vodka"
Bars can serve as ideal third spaces for socializing or solitary relaxation when safety measures are enforced. Alcohol requires clear policies to prevent loss of control and potential harm, so bar staff must monitor behavior. Shady customer behavior is common, but management-driven shady practices pose a greater risk. Bar work culture tends to be more relaxed than restaurant environments, which makes explicit rules about appropriate behavior and limits important. Customers expect bartenders to protect patrons' interests. Cocktail menus should list ingredients to help customers choose drinks, track consumption, and verify preparation and ingredient quality.
