Best Answer

Liquor was always relatively expensive. Early establishments that served liquor protected the supply by locking it up behind a screen or grill. Thus, the phase "Bar and Grill." Over time, this meaning changed to use grill in a sense pertaining to food preparation. Thus, a bar and grill came to mean an establishment that served both liquor and food.

The phrase "bar and grill" originated in the United States in the early 20th century to describe establishments that serve Alcoholic Beverages (bar) and food (grill). These venues became popular as social gathering places where people could enjoy drinks, food, and entertainment in a casual setting. Today, the term is commonly used to refer to casual dining establishments that offer a combination of bar and restaurant services.
