Young Brunette Girl With A Bracelet Undresses Her Blue Brassiere And Panties On The Sofa In The Bar

In Nova Scotia, particularly in Halifax, there was, until the 1980s, a very distinct system of gender-based laws were in effect for decades. Taverns, bars, halls, and other classifications differentiated whether it was exclusively for men or women, men with invited women, vice-versa, or mixed. After this fell by the wayside, the issue of water closets led many powder rooms in taverns being either constructed later, or in kitchens or upstairs halls where plumbing allowed, and the same in former sitting rooms for men's facilities.
• India
Bars in India are mainly clustered in metropolitan cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Goa, and Manipal).
Bangalore is sometimes referred to as the "city of pubs" because more than 200 bars and pubs are located in it. The state of Goa also has a large number of bars and pubs because of tourism. The rest of the country has very few bar formats. Mostly, drinks are served in establishments such as restaurants. Locally made liquor (fenny, toddy etc.) is also exclusively sold at establishments. They do not serve traditional liquor but usually serve several snacks and food. These establishments are usually run-down, and their clientele consists mainly of working-class people. Dance bars were also common sight in many cities, before they ran into legal troubles.
