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 may be called "snack bars", including beverage and snack counters at
movie theaters, and small
delis. Many places with snack bars have a policy prohibiting outside food and drink in order to encourage sales. In
movie theaters and other types of
theaters, the snack bar is usually located in the lobby. The first known use of the word "snack bar" was in 1930. ==Similar entities==
