Description

A beach snack bar is often a small building situated high on the sand. Besides soft drinks, candies and chewing gum, some snack bars sell hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, potato chips, corn chips and other foods. While this is usually the case, sometimes "snack bar" refers to a small café or cafeteria. Various small, casual dining establishments might be referred to as a "snack bar," including a beverage and snack counter at a movie theater, or a small deli. Many places that have snack bars have a "No Outside Food or Drink" policy, to encourage sales.

In movie theaters and any other types of theaters, the snack bar is located in the lobby.

The first known use of the word "snack bar" was in 1930.[2]
