Is the name BAR derived from beer and rye?
The only BAR that I'm familiar with stands for Browning Automatic Rifle. When you went into a tavern or saloon, you could sit in the dining hall or pull up to the bar. The bar referred to a brass footrail that ran from one length to the other of the serving table. This kept the patrons from getting locked knee syndrome which will make a person pass out if they stand on both feet with their knees locked for a long period of time. Some bars had a brass or copper trough directly beneath the main bar, so that if a man had to urinate, he could go into this trough and didnt have to leave the bar. Bar stools were added later. It was named a bar because of this.

Did men really urinate around the bar in the old days?
In the 'old days', most western sites had outhouses. Eastern towns were more 'developed', but it was still the communal '2 or 3 seater' outhouse in most towns! Outhouses have an overwhelming odor in the summers. Plus, flies congregated at and inside outhouses. Winters there was less odor, but sitting on cold wood was not pleasant. So if men urinated around the bar, it was likely a more pleasant 'going' that going to the outhouse. However, I doubt bar owners would have been too happy with the odor, so I doubt this story is true in most taverns or saloons (bars). Plus, most taverns were also inns-- lodging along the stage coach route, which means passengers included women and children. So public urination wouldn't have been tolerated most places.
