English term or phrase: cash bar
Dance and cash bar...
(hay que pagar por las bebidas). NO creo que sea lo mismo que un "open bar"?
Alejandro
Spanish translation:barra/bar
Explanation:
En España sólo hablamos de "barra libre" cuando no hay que pagar por las bebidas. Si hay que pagar decimos siempre "barra" o "bar" porque se sobreentiende que se paga. No hacemos, como en inglés, distinción entre wine bar, cash bar, salad bar, etc... De todas formas he visto "cash bar" en páginas en español, así, en inglés.
