酒吧

• 拼音: jiǔ bā
• 汉字拆解: 酒 = 氵 (water) + 酉 (wine vessel) — alcohol + 吧 = 口 (mouth) + 巴 (phonetic) — transliteration of 'bar'

含义

Bar; pub. A place where alcoholic drinks are served, often with music or entertainment.

The standard modern Chinese word for a drinking establishment. Borrowed conceptually from Western bar culture. Ranges from quiet wine bars to lively nightclubs. Common in urban areas. The 吧 here is a transliteration of English 'bar.' Also appears in compounds like 网吧 (internet cafe) and 氧吧 (oxygen bar).
