word "bar" in Polish does not mean the same as in English and has much wider meaning range. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_mleczny See https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(plac%C3%B3wka_gastronomiczna) Place selling https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bar_mleczny_Kalina,_Poznan,_pomidorowka,_watrobka.jpg as typical thing is not amenity=bar even if it is locally called "bar".
