Bar


Explanation:
Basiert auf BE. Kneipe dort wäre ziemlich sicher pub; bar hat Konnotation von teurer, dress code, upmarket, and especially late hours!

agree  Carolin Haase: Kommt aber auf die Zielgruppe an

neutral  Irene Schlotter, Dipl.-Übers.: Das gilt sicher für GB, nicht aber für die USA/Kanada. Je nachdem, wo der Text herkommt, passt 'Kneipe' für 'bar'.
11 mins
  -> Darum mein Hinweis auf BE; Quellregion war aus Frage leider nicht erkennbar. Danke für die Information.
neutral  Marnen Laibow-Koser: Irene is correct. "Bar" doesn't really have this connotation in the US (since we don't really use "pub"); if it does in German, then "Kneipe" is probably the better choice.

  -> Again: I stated an assumed BE origin in lieu of askers' specs. Thank you for what "bar" means on the other side of the pond.

Kneipe/ außer Haus


Explanation:
Ich würde auch Kneipe nehmen, Bar klingt im Deutschen leicht anrüchig. Wenn du dich nicht festlegen möchtest, dann könntest du auch "außer Haus" schreiben.

Viele Grüße,
Patricia

(Bier-) Lokal


Explanation:
abgesehen von meiner Wertung zur Kneipe, fiel mir grad spontan noch dieses ein...
gibt ja Biergarten, Bierkneipe, Bierlokal, Biertheke..... je nach Kontext.
