In modern Polish, in most cases a bar would be referred to as "pub" (plural "puby"), a loan from English. Polish "puby" serve various kinds of alcoholic drinks as well as other beverages and simple snacks such as crisps, peanuts or pretzel sticks. Most establishments feature loud music and some have frequent live performances. While Polish word "bar" can be also applied to this kind of establishment, it is often used to describe any kind of inexpensive restaurant, and therefore can be translated as diner or cafeteria. Both in "bary" and in "puby", the counter at which one orders is called "bar", itself being another obvious loanword from English.
